Evolution of Full Force
The history of the crew started from the rough suburbs of Las Vegas. To be honest, the only thing rough about the Las Vegas suburbs was the desert heat the crew had to endure during outdoor practices and battles.
It was the year 1995. I got 5 on it, Here comes the hot stepper, I'll make love to you, Candy rain, Big Poppa, and Tootsee Roll were a few songs of that period - can you remember what you were doing then? Well these kids were dancing and getting ready to build a family, create a lifetime of memories, opportunities, and their mark on the Las Vegas B-boy scene.
The original Full Force B-boy Crew started in West Covina, California (timeline and history unverifiable). On January 3, 1995, Rodolfo Jr. received an opportunity to establish the crews name to his native city of Las Vegas by his cousin Ryan Arcilla who was an active member of the California chapter. There was no hesitation on Rodolfo’s part. It was the Las Vegas chapter that took the name and evolved it to what it is today – and so it began!
Rodolfo Abaldonado Jr. took the name and proposed the idea to start up this new crew with the crew’s first 2 and founding members – his brother Ronnie Abaldonado (Ronnie Boy) and close friend Rock Gallego. Most of the original and new members came from known Las Vegas crews.
