The battle is over! In his fourth year of participating, after winning third place one time and 2nd place two times, the Red Bull BC One veteran Ronnie from the USA won the title in South Africa!
OFFICIAL REDBULL BC ONE 2007 RESULTS:
On September 22, 1200 people witnessed Ronnie from the USA winning the Red Bull BC One title.
After being a runner-up for 4 years, Ronnie has finally raised the Red Bull BC One trophy. His trip to the final round was not an easy one as the elimination round format pushed each of the 16 B-Boys to the limit. He battled B-Boying giants such as defending champion Hong 10 from South Korea and Roxrite, a fellow American, in a gripping final battle.
Roxrite took to the floor first, bringing his signature moves and battle strategy to the mat. Ronnie replied with his technical style, taunting Roxrite and showing his own signature moves in response. Roxrite was a tough competitor but in the end, it was Ronnie who mastered his technique and showed his original style
Rakaa, who is part of the independent Hip Hop group Dilated Peoples, opened the Red Bull BC One final with his unique Hip Hop style and had the 1200-strong crowd roaring as he introduced the judges and dancers. On stage, one could feel the anticipation and Rakaa was all too happy to give them what they wanted, a unique experience with the new-age icons of B-Boying while DJ Renegade, the backbone of the event, provided the B-Boys with the tracks they needed to perform at their ultimate level.
The side acts kept the momentum going and added an African flair to the event with Red Zebra blessing the opening of the event with a traditional Zulu prayer cry and then breaking into a full scale African drum act that set the tone.
Cyber, another local talent, was on hand to amaze the crowd with his “mouth percussion” as his beat-box routine had the crowd in disbelief. Cyber is making his mark on the Hip Hop scene as perhaps one of the best beat-boxers in the country.
France’s Salah was in a class of his own as he morphed his body from one move to the next. His pop and lock routine sometimes bordered on the impossible. It is a huge honour to have had him in South Africa and after seeing his act, one understands why he is considered one of the best.
The B-Boys were all on top form and the hours of practising finally paid off for one B-Boy. When it got down to the contest, Ronnie took on battle after battle, maintaining his strength and enthusiasm and was crowned Red Bull BC One champion. He gained victory by taking on each B-Boy with force and confidence. He had the crowd in the palm of his hand and showed the judges just why he is considered one of the world’s best.
After winning his title, Ronnie was joined on stage by his fellow B-Boys who all showed their support for him. Even after eliminating them one-by-one, Ronnie had a huge fan base in his fellow competitors.
