The obituary reads (paraphrased):

Wayne Frost, A.K.A. 'Frosty Freeze' a Break Dance pioneer with the legendary "Rock Steady Crew" (where he got his start in 1978) died yesterday at age 44. He was known for his 'super energetic' style, back flips and head spins earning himself another knickname (tag) 'Suicide.'
Amongst his peers, his was considered a "walking hip-hop culture encyclopedia"
===============================================
I was 13 years old growing up in Queens, NY, when I first remember seeing his street act... the experience was one of my fondest memories, and one of the biggest reasons I am into Boomboxes today...
If anyone else remembers him, lets hear any memories

yep,i heard it too and remember him from my jersey days growin up.
Very Sad,But He was Sick for a long time,way too young.
Btw This Should be in Off topic.

Wow, 44 is far to young. I don't remember him off hand but it's still sad to hear an influental cultural figure died so young.

I grew up in Queens Too, I used to date this girl aka: Shorty 140 she used to break dance pretty good. It's sad to see someone from the Rock Steady Crew die so young. Those guys were the best in their craft. My (tag) was Race 1 on 1.
