Why isn't the midwest....better?

So bboying started in new york....and made it's way to all the culture capitals of the United States. And then FURTHER spread to the rest of the world

But on the International Scene of Bboying, somehow it seems that the midwest US of A got skipped over.

Or maybe i'm just not super hip on my history.

From my understanding, Chi concreted the concepts of blowups, but what about the rest of the region? Is it due the fact that there hasn't been a solid scene anywhere else?

I know that as far as college campuses are concerned, they're really ON for a few years, those kids graduate...and then they're completely OFF until a few dedicated kids come a few years down the road.

Gimme feedback, opinions, etc.

But seriously.....what the hell. Aside from Motion D, the midwest just isn't known. Is it because of the Lack of traveling? Or does it lie moreso with skill?

[elgato]

well the midwest was well known in the 90s...
I think its skill? i know some people have tried traveling. hmmm

I think its about being land locked and a lack of attraction to the area. A lot of other "scenes" have something going for them in the over all area you know big city major coast something. the midwest is missing that besides Chicago and even so Chicago is getting back on its feet so to speak.

Very good point on the "attraction" thing.
