Product: Red Bull BC One: Berlin 2005 Breakdancing Championship (2006)
Rating: 5.0
So many positives, but one big negative
I have been waiting for this dvd since i saw the trailer and battle footage on youtube, and now over a year later the event is finally available. This in my opinion is the definative 1 on 1 bboy event of the year, bringing together some of the worlds top talent. Granted there are some editing problem, one of Hong10's signature moves isn't caught in his first battle with Moy (but if you go to the slow motion featurette you see it in all its illmatic glory) The single biggest flaw on this dvd is the original music is dubbed over by tracks from Dj Ace, who actually DJ'ed the event. It does suck and i hope there is an explanation as to why (i am guessing maybe they/Red Bull were not able to get the rights to the songs)but it is somewhat bearable. I also hope that this will mean the 2004 event will be on dvd soon, hopefully with its original music intact. Along with the new music there is a major flub during Storms set between the semi and final rounds. The screen goes white for a second and cuts to a front shot of Storm and a set worker using clappers to start the scene, I don't know how this got past the people who made this, its not like they had to rush, the event is over a year old. Regardless of the flaws this dvd is a must own, its that good.
