Battle of The Year
Alright guys, I know that some of you probably wouldn't care for this, but I thought I might as well post this up for the ones that don't know. Tomorrow is Battle of the Year, known as BOTY, which is an annual international bboying event. It is a crew (as opposed to individual) competition. Regional qualifying tournaments, also known as preliminaries, are held worldwide culminating in the BOTY International, the world finals. I thought I'd share this news to you guys hoping that people would get more knowledgeable about what bboying really is. It's not just a bunch of guys spinning around doing acrobatic moves, it is actually a dance created by the people. If you guys are not doing anything interesting on 11-19-11, I recommend for you guys to check this amazing event out. It would be held live stream at http://www.braunbattleoftheyear.com/ . With many crews performing showcases only the 4 best would go on to the main portion of the event. The battles which contain 2 semi final matches. If it's just like last year's you would only get to see the battles, not showcases sadly. A thing that sucks abut a event like this is the commentators, they can get really annoying. As a bboy myself I really look forward to this yearly event and I hope that you guys take into consideration on viewing this amazing culture. To be more informed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_..._Preliminaries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-boying A Documentary of BOTY Some of the crews competing this year A Showcase [YOUTUBE]FZR_1MxvDBY&feature=related[/YOUTUBE] Last Year's final Some other great battles [YOUTUBE]7IiPyw_UT7U&feature=fvwrel[/YOUTUBE] Then again bboying isn't always about huge competitions. It all goes back to the cyphers. How it was done back in the days, real hip-hop, for the love of the dance. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvbgc...eature=related)

Next Saturday is Red Bull Bc One. Which is the most prestigious 1v1 competition. Which would be live streamed also. Containing 16 of the best bboys with a 1 on 1 knock out competition. It wouldn't be ass exciting as a full on 10v10, but it really is amazing. if your sad that you missed BOTY, might as well view this for your pleasure. http://www.redbullbcone.com/ [YOUTUBE]A4FiwH6pYY0&feature=relmfu[/YOUTUBE] |
