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.
