GC's Night of Fire + IJKF ForumsMany of you will remember the world's largest and least useful DDR machine in Melbourne's Galactic Circus. With 9 large screens arranged 3x3 and positioned a long way away from the dance platform, it was impressive but impractical.
In a tragic accident that DDR players can only discribe as 'tragic', poster
feri on the
Independent JKF forums reports that the machine has burned down.
"story is that some large sign above fell down and stuff ignited... so ddr was litterally burnt to a crisp."
A new machine is believed to be on its way.
This is probably a fair time to introduce the
Independent JKF forums. IJKF is a group based in Sydney, and has sparked a new DDR community of it's own. I had a chance to meet up with KMD, the group's driving force, while on holiday in Sydney in October.
The group is also dedicated to running tournaments, and is very interested to hear about competitions held in other states. It's a very exciting time for DDR in Sydney, with a lot of new players getting organised and pushing themselves to be great players. The Sydney scene should be the scene to watch in coming months.
The IJKF forums are open for nation-wide DDR discussion, so all players are welcome to stop by and chat.
