BC One Championships Tokyo Japan 2010

In celebration of the Red Bull BC One championships that just took place in Tokyo Japan Last Saturday, ChinaShop is giving away 3 prize packages each containing a custom Nintendo DS unit and a Red Bull BC One game.

If you don’t know about Red Bull BC One, I invite you to take a gander at the amazing video below. This year, Brazilian power mover Neguin from the Tsunami All Stars crew took the crown in a spectacular finale battle against Just Do It, a Dutchman from the Rugged Solutions crew. The annual competition, now entering it’s eighth consecutive year, continues to raise the b-boy bar.  The talented competitors have taken the art form to a whole new level with double back flips, triple gainers, and self levitating windmills that boggle the mind. These chaps are hardly human, and while the odds are that you probably will never land a triple gainer, at least you could thumb a couple radical maneuvers on your new hand held (should you win).

Custom Nintendo Unit and Red Bull BC One Game

But what began as an amicable journey ended up getting a little dysfunctional, as tempers flared and one of the boys decided to go Greyhound.

Event Featured BC ONE: Showdown in NYC

November 19, 2009 - 3:48 pm

Winner

Last night’s Red Bull BC One at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City was a highly anticipated event.  As the biggest one-on-one b-boy competition in the world, being selected as a finalist is an honor in itself.  Tickets sold out in record time, the line stretched across several blocks, & the crowd waited excitedly & impatiently to storm the venue.

Inside, sixteen b-boys from eleven countries battled it out for the number one spot, but despite a strong showing from the U.S.A. courtesy of Kid Glyde (NYC), Thesis (Seattle), Morris (Sacramento) & Cloud (L.A.), they were no match for one edgy Frenchman: Lilou.

He was totally merciless, bringing a combination of mirthful spirit & sick power moves.  He defeated the Ukraine’s Kolobok in the first round, destroyed Thesis in the quarterfinals, & absolutely decimated Morris in the semis.
