Red Bull BC One

The Red Bull BC One is an annual international breakdancing (B-Boy) competition, established in 2004. The competition is organised by the beverage company Red Bull. Its first event was held in Biel, Switzerland in 2004.

The competition's main event is a knockout tournament, featuring sixteen break dancers. The format involves one-on-one battles judged by a panel of five experienced judges

Red Bull BC One's has regional finals held in various parts of the world, including North America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. These regional winners compete in the World Finals, representing their regions internationally.

In the 2004 and 2005 events Red Bull BC released an official video that has been criticized due to restrictive music playing rights, as the live music played during the competition had to be dubbed over.[1][2] From 2006 onwards, Red Bull stopped releasing DVDs and made the videos available online for free.[3] In 2007, Alastair Siddons directed a film about the Red Bull BC One 2007 competition. The film was released in 2009 under the title, 'Turn it Loose'.[4]

Since 2014, Red Bull BC One has partnered with the World B-Boy Series to help create Undisputed, which crowns a solo world B-Boy champion.[5]

2016

Red Bull BC One held camps around the world that featured traditional cyphers. It no longer held the six regional finals from previous years. Camps were held in Austria, France, South Africa, Italy, Japan, and Ukraine.[17]

In 2016, Toronto also held the first direct Canadian qualifier for the world final in Nagoya, Japan.[18][19]

The winners of each cypher competed in a Last Chance Cypher to qualify to the World Finals in Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium, Nagoya, Japan on December 3.[17] With the winners of the Last Chance Cypher going against each other in Nagoya alongside fifteen Wild Card entries, chosen by an international team of B-Boy experts.

The 2016 event was the final BC One that would feature Taisuke, as he announced his retirement from this competition. Thus, Issei's victory making him the first Japanese champion of Red Bull BC One.

After winning Red Bull BC One, the last event of the World BBoy Series, Victor () earned a triple pass to Undisputed.

2014

In 2014 Red Bull BC One took place in Paris, France with a round-by-round judging system used by Undisputed. The round-by-round judging format allows boys to see the judges decision after every round. The battle is set for 3 rounds (Finals is 5) but can end if a boy beats his opponent in 2.[20]

However, this judging system received a lot of criticism from Red Bull BC One fans throughout social media following the event. Bboys and fans alike, both disagreed with the judges's decisions after many individual battles.

Many argued that it was the worst Red Bull BC one competition since its initiation. Due to Menno's () victory and Chelles Battle Pro, Gravity () was awarded the final spot at Undisputed at the end of the year following Red Bull BC One.
