B-Boying/B-Girling, or breakdancing as it is used in the media, is a dance style that originated on the streets of New York in the 1970s. It is one of the four pillars of hip-hop culture, along with DJing, MCing, and graffiti. Over time, the breakdancing scene has grown, with active communities spanning the globe. Each year, dancers and crews push the boundaries of breakdancing, shaping an art form unlike any other.
01. Red Bull BC One World Final 2008 Paris
B-Boy Wing from Korea prevailed over 15 competitors to win the 2008 Red Bull BC One championships. Battling the best B-Boys from around the world in the new cultural center of Paris, the 104, Wing used a combination of stylishly acrobatics and dazzling moves to defeat the crowd’s favorite, Taisuke from Japan. Ronnie, the 2007 champion from the US, failed to meet expectations when he was defeated by the newcomer Kolobok from the Ukraine in the second round. Wing quickly wooed the audience with his lightening style and surprising combinations. In the first round, he defeated South African B-Boy Benny, in the quarter finals French B-Boy Mounir with 4 votes against 1. Then in the hotly contested semi-finals, Wing showed the Ukrainian B-Boy Kolobok that he still had moves up his sleeve by throwing some complex combinations on the musical beats of DJ Tee.
