May 8, 2004

From the streets of the Big Apple, to the Coupole in Biel the evolution of B-Boying continues. The winners of the largest and most renowned dance events around the world in the past years came together to compete in a one-on-one battle for the first time ever at the Red Bull BC One. The venue was the Gaskessel Culture Center in Biel. And why there exactly? Since the mid-80s, the first generations of European B-Boys have been meeting on these notable premises to partake in the so-called hip-hop jams. Back to the present—there were as many favorites at the Red Bull BC One as there were contenders in the starting line-up. Jury member Coskun “Tuff Kid" Erdogandan,from Basel, deliberated before the competition.
