If I could give one message to cloud...Okay,
So I looked around and I am blown away at how many fans Cloud has. Working for Madonna really blew it up for him, even if his fanbase is kind-of underground.
Anyways, i dont know of Cloud because of Madonna, I know him from bboying (otherwise known as breakdancing). I watch videos of him in competitions and events with his crew SkillMethodz, because I myself bboy. I only started a few years ago, and Im in a crew and we do shows around my city here in eastern Canada, its not much and we are nowheres near as good as SkillMethodz or any other big time crews like that, but hey we do it for fun. Im a huge fan of bboying and a practitioner as well which helps me understand it, I think. Anyways enough about why I am aware of Cloud.
I gotta say one thing to him... Cloud, you are so respected in the bboy community. People work all their lives to get the respect and admiration you have achieved, and Im not sure you even tried. It seems it may have just happened because you are so talented. You inspire so many people to start bboying, and bboys to get better. Anyways, enough gushing, I hate doing that but I have to say it because its part of the overall message Im trying to convey.
Now, its been about 4 years since I have seen you on any bboy DVD's or any videos online competeing or attending events. I know you are moving on to other projects, and I wish you the best of luck, and I know you will make it in some form of entertainment, because you are obviously a very artistic and creative guy, backed with talent and health. However, I really wish to see you make a triumphant return to bboying.
Bboying is lost, but its slowly returning to the media, however, we dont want it to blow up into a fad like it did in the eightys. It will crash and burn like everything that way. Now, bboying would likely become psudeo-famous, like the UFC or something. Anyways, its gonna happen, and we want cloud. Im sure i speak for the majority of the bboying community when I say we want you back.
There are some really big events happening that are gaining some ridiculous amount of attention, such as the Redbull BCone (I suggest those of you in the forum who are not dancers to check it out and get a glimpse of some top level bboying these days). Now, the guys in these events are doin big things, moves that are just incredible in technicality and skill, difficulty and creativity. However, I dont see the style in any of them that Cloud has. Damn it man, come back. Dancing is what seems to have gotten you where you are today, and I dont think its time to stop yet. Please dont tell me the age of Cloud bboying and getting better and coming to events and amazing people new, fresh fantastic style is over. Im not done watching you dude. Here I am a bboy watching madonna videos just to see if you do something cool.
Anyways, people can talk about how hot they think you are, your hair, why they love you, and etc. etc. I wanna say get back on that DAMN FLOOR!!!
Long live BBOY CLOUD.
P.S. - Im aware he may never read this. But who knows, he might be trolling the forum tonight.
P.P.S. - Flame away, I dont care if anyone dislikes anything I say, like I said, I support whatever he does, but I think he should dance.
P.P.P.S. - reserved depending on what people say.

I think I can safely say that everyone on here would pretty much agree with what you've said, so I'll be very surprised if you get flamed for saying you want Cloud back doing what he does best.
He is in a unique position with the high profile he received for his work with Madonna, which I hope will open doors to him to do what he wants which wouldn't have been possible before. He seems to have a wise head on his shoulders and is looking to the future now, while he is young enough, rather than a in a few years time when he can't dance as well as he can now and suddenly realises that there is nothing else for him to do.
Oh, and he's also very hot, but needs to get a decent hair cut.

Re: If I could give one message to cloud...This has got to be one of the most soild letters to cloud i have ever seen on here. And I agreed 100%. You just nailed the basics. Thats why I like cloud because of his unique talent and what he has to offer. I would HOPE to see him go back to his roots and just start bboying again.
Good luck with your BBoy crew in eastern canada!

Thank you two very much for the positive responses. I was expecting people to say things like "let cloud do what he wants!" type stuff. Im glad his fans appreciate him as a bboy, because thats what he is to me, and a damn good one at that. Thanks all,
Peace!

A bit irrelevant but does anyone know where we can (in this forum) write a message to Cloud? (Somewhere that he will see it?)

I think he reads the Messages for Cloud sticky in the General Chat section. Wannabe sent him some questions but he keeps losing them. I think he's too shy to answer.
