I woke up mad early to catch the Red Bull BC-One b-boy competition, streaming live online from Tokyo.
Here's some quick video of the final match between Neguin of Brazil and Just Do It from the Netherlands. Neguin is a seasoned veteran, with a distinctive style, mad powermoves, and an aggressive stance. Just Do It is a relative newcomer but with some wins in his belt, with strong powermoves for such a big guy but IMO not as strong in the style department.
Red Bull BC-One 2010 was the best live online dance competition I've ever seen, with mosty smooth and lag-free streaming video, active live chat from FaceBook and Twitter, and good live commentary. Definitely worth getting up at 5AM for on a Saturday morning. Go, Neguin!
And thanks for streaming this online, Red Bull BC-One! Almost as good as being there.
UPDATE 11/28/10: Looks like Red Bull pulled down my videos for infringement. Head to RedBullBCone.com to catch their official videos.
Bah, foiled. 🙁 Thanks for the other one though! Here’s hoping someone else will post the finals in the next few days.
