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

Contest rules; To win the ChinaShop Red Bull BC One prize package, you must correctly answer the below questions in an email to info@chinashopmag.com.  ChinaShop will choose 3 contestants at random and announce the lucky winners this Monday 12/6/10 at high noon.  Entries must be received by midnight Sunday and you must be 18 years or older to win.  Winners the will be contacted via email Monday end of day.  Best of luck!

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 B-Boy Legend Ronnie Abaldonado – Day 2

June 26, 2009 - 11:51 am
B-Boy clinic led by RonnieBoy

The Clinic
Day two began with a two hour b-boy clinic lead by Red Bull BC One champ and 17yr veteran Ronnie Abaldonado.  After a brief meet and greet, Ronnie (accompanied by the Red Bull DJ) launched into a challenging routine that hurtled the students through the basics of B-Boying with the style only Ronnie could bring.

With over 20 B-Boys (and B-Girls) in attendance, the warehouse rehearsal studio heated up as everyone got busy learning how to sharpen their toprock, spice up their footwork, and build toward the perfect freeze.  Later on, the students showed Ronnie their power moves in an impromptu cypher.
