STREET DANCE CYPHERSTYLES AUGUST 2007 NEWSLETTER PART #1

80+ NEW PRODUCTS MEGA UPDATE - Part 1 of 2

Today is a very special day. Not because it’s almost back to school time, or because we just got back from the Rocksteady Crew’s 30th Anniversary (Props to Crazy Legz, Sab, Flava Flav, Biz Markie and Melle Mel). Not because we just got the CypherStyles Forum up and ready for you to explore on our site. Not because Freestyle Session’s 10th Anniversary is coming up August 25th-26th (We’ll be there selling and promoting with a fully stock booth naturally). Not because the 3 Best BBoy Videos of the Year are dropping this week BBoy Hodown 2006, Evolution 3 and Red Bull BC One 2006 and we have them all available for presale to reserve your copy before they sell out.

Today is a very special day because #1 August 6th is my GRIZ, CypherStyles.com’s Supreme Commander in Chief’s 23rd Birthday! Happy Birthday to me! If you want to butter me up to ask for free products it might not be a bad idea to send me a “Happy Birthday GRIZ” e-mail. #2 Me and the hot, sweet, wonderful blonde I’ve been dating the past 4 years just got engaged! (Hey Sarah!) Two very good things to celebrate I’m excited and I want to spread my good vibes to the entire CypherStyles Family Worldwide.

In honor of these momentous occasions I have a TON of fresh surprises this month sure to delight and tantalize you. CypherStyles is always working hard to get the latest BBoy Videos as soon as they drop, but that’s not enough. No one’s style should get left out of our store. We have so many new products this month I have to split it into 2 Newsletters. For this newsletter please pay special attention to my recommendations; I got to go in person to many of the events that we’re selling this month so I really know what I’m talking about. If you have any questions hit me up at 1(800)ZEN-FUNK or CustomerService@CypherStyles.com any time and I’ll always be glad to help you out. – Barry Rabkin / GRIZ, Founder, CypherStyles.com, Inc.
