El Niño vs Toyz aRe Us - Semi Final - Red Bull BC One Chicago 2011

[@MackDaddyOnTheTrack]

Right on dude, that's another thing I see too. I am a hip-hop dancer, as well, and generally am exposed to all kind of genres (I dance at a studio dominated by girls). So, I enjoy watching shows like SYTYCD, and so many people will just blindly say a bboy will smoke another, without considering that ANYTHING can happen in a battle, haha. We've all seen a world class dancer lose to an underdog based on simple things like song choice, crashes, and musicality. Thanks again man, you too!

[@EspartanoSTensei2]

facinantes movimientos, muy buena grabacion!!!

[@DvDPlaya]

This semi-final is better than the Final!

[@cactusbottom]

Man really great battle, pure style

[@ALLDAYCAL]

sooo many ppl complaining about the video (camera angles/ the crowd/ etc...) if i owned red bull, I would stop posting or take off these vids. To teach people to appreciate what they are given to them for FREE.

[@texplosiv]

Awesome battle.. loved Toyz' flavour, and El Nino brought that superb, effortless flow of his. Very tough to call, I think it could have gone either way depending on personal judgement/stylistic preference.

[@PhantomR32]

@ZzAnthonyProductions The crowd isn't dead. Redbull sets the audio up so you only can hear DJ and the MC and the crowd noise gets lowered.

[@SjinUno]

@ACEharuga This was the USA qualifier. It was held in Chicago, which is why the title says Red Bull BC One Chicago.

[@rayallen7002]

these dudes are friends who cares about the battle they both did theyre thing and had fun

[@stolinski]

@ZzAnthonyProductions Were you at the jam? They mix the music higher than the crowd for these videos. The crowd was loud at the event. You can see in this video, but there were balconies and bleachers full of people going nuts.

[@jeffwongdesign]

Toyz is awesome. This is a great battle!

[@stolinski]

@MrParkour It's the mixing of the audio. The crowd was loud at the venu.

[@AscensionVisuals]

Ok so I don't do any of this so any help here is greatly appreciated: How can you tell if you're not going to make a particular move? And then how do you counter to make it into something else? Is it just a natural feel or is there a roll-a-dex of moves you reference back to in order to fit the next move you didn't plan on doing due to spin-speed, angle? It seems like one would be moving too fast to know what to do as it happens. You guys are all f-ing amazing!

[@ParisHilton1982]

both were dope, sickos

[@Paramedic80]

@ALLDAYCAL I mean it, the Red Bull never wrote the song names. It was not necessarily related to this video.

[@MrJohnnyYang]

when will the rest of the video will be up?? i wanna see MN Joe rocking it

[@ahbeh94]

@iLovePat04 the white circles are bcz thy always play headspin without headgear,thn thr will hav a white circles appear on their head

[@explictgamingREAL]

@toyzofzion ey u did really good tho put up a good show and battle

[@DubbaJohnny45]

Can we take a second to look at Toyz' footwork? Like holy clean

[@realkef]

@88Freefall yeah you right man, a few months back it acutaly said st pietersberg on the website

[@OO-O-f7w]

Sick Shoes.

[@XuiXiu]

@Jakhun agreed. levels of skill and speed, with not to mention the effort of practicing a routine/freestyle shap up like that.. is nuts. after seeing artists over year wind up and spin.. im like, ok , you many other do it like that. not enough to be winning in Russia tbh. imho

[@88Freefall]

@realkef Yes it's beautiful city. And I have only few hours to drive there from where I live.

[@LawkSam]

Lol @ Daniel and KBE at 0:20.

[@realkef]

@88Freefall haha yeah, i wouldnt mind finding my self in st pietersberg though, its a nice place to be

[@realkef]

@rayzor46 yes i know its in russia, buts its not in moscow, its in st pietersberg

[@ClAcKeRzW]

El Niño definitely won this battle and came out stronger, but I just feel Toyz individuality will be more suited to a Red Bull event and give him more of an edge. He has that raw world class presence I think.

[@hien3000]

@Paramedic80 song name Dj Tee - Ancient. i had a hard time finding the songs too.lol

[@MackDaddyOnTheTrack]

Thanks man, haha, and no problem. It just irks me when someone sees a bboy who throws down a lot of powermoves lose and says "Style always beats power." Or even worse, when a powerhead wins and they say "How did he win? He has no style?"

[@hanzflackshnack1158]

Mad respect for both bboys. Toyz should've taken that. It's easy for us when we have time to review and think. But my personal opinion is Toyz won. Again, props to both insanely sick bboys.

[@Dario_TheTribe_FusionArt]

Nice Battle... Someone know the name of the first song in this battle please?

[@mrloboto]

@Pedrinchi1001 I liked the flava and the characterization he put into it but El Nino came out harder and did more overall. I like what Toyz was doing but El Nino deserved this for sure.

[@justk_kl]

@Paramedic80 Ha, got it bro. First song is DJ Tee - Ancient ; You can find it on his album "Drumfever", along with a few other songs from this event. Peace. Vote up so everyone can see!

[@Khuu.]

Is it just me or is it that the semi-finals are better to watch than the finals? anyone else agree?

[@Zetundez]

This should have been the final!!

[@DayAtRots]

@Paramedic80 why would they give the songs? so that everybody has all the songs of the DJ?

[@cagool2fray]

yeahh

[@MackDaddyOnTheTrack]

@MikeDanger7 I think you are responding to my comment asking how Nino doesn't have style. If so, my question was somewhat snarky. Too often people say, "Oh yeah, that bboy won because he's a style head." Or, "Style > Power" That doesn't make any sense, considering style is not a genre of dance or a sub-genre to breaking. Style is how one person moves when he/she is dancing. El Nino has his own style, like any other bboy who focuses on footwork or any bboy who focuses on power.

[@yosi6tokyo]

good battle

[@JoJo_Samurai]

that was a close battle! anyone know what shoes TOYZ had on? those are dope :)

[@OutPuT]

@mokobey619 wasn't Thesis in BC one before?

[@Varenasey]

EL NINO!

[@Rat218]

@Amazing4YU 312 is the area code of Chicago.

[@forksaigon2866]

Whats is the name of the Adidas shoes toyz is wearing??? Please reply if you know!

[@bboylildiaz6929]

Adidas Adistar Racer Men 9.0 UK :)

[@88Freefall]

@realkef :D well it's good that you now know to go to the right city to watch the finals. :D

[@akennext]

I was there, it was so friggin' hot in the Aragon. The a/c was not very good in there so it was really hot and crowded inside, so I don't think the crowd could've enjoyed the battles as much as they could.

[@harvorites]

Toyz kicks are insane!

[@claude_stucki]

@RedlineNRG very creative comment

[@00eric28]

were they recording in 3D?

[@88Freefall]

@realkef Where did you read that? It's in Moscow this year..... If you don't believe... go to the official website...

[@DvDPlaya]

El Nino's Anti-Christ just KILLEDIT!

[@MultiSerezha]

What is the name of these 2 songs? Somebody help please!

[@xBoneXBBoy]

@jeromethebuffgnome I could care less about that thing. Majority of the complaints are towards the decision, because Toyz had more originlaity, was really clean, had nice sets, and had foundation

[@bboyginivey]

@MackDaddyOnTheTrack you are right , peopel dont know what style is or bboy .. bboy for fun .. style how your techniqe is or bboy you are

[@Rat218]

For anybody wondering about the 312 countdown, I believe 312 is the area code for Chicago.

[@Jakhun]

@XuiXiu yeah I think toyz would stand out much better in a group of world class competitors

[@theaznamazin]

Toyz' style is so dope....His footwork sets just kill it. He would make it pretty far in the real Red Bull

[@MackDaddyOnTheTrack]

How can so many people hate on El Nino after his 2nd set, lol. That set was so nasty.

[@shihitukumoro]

el niño yeahhhhhhhhhh

[@leo121nato]

Nice :)

[@Paramedic80]

Why does Red Bull never the song name ? SONG PLEASE

[@bboyfocus12]

@TheTraceurBoy what are you on about, every single set involves toprock but the very odd one... and toyz admitted he lost..

[@JoshVue9]

@evilslayer7 it was decently close but el nino came out harder

[@ClaimB1337]

What are they doing o: ?

[@niveks5]

I say it was a tie and needed another round... also at 01:50 that tells you that they are bboys having fun out there.

[@TheZ0Mb]

@TheAsianAfro send me that link of them doing this same flop

[@TheZ0Mb]

what ppl fail to understand is that el nino was the UNDERDOG in this comp. and he prevaild so that saying alot

[@rayzor46]

@mokobey619 dude! they already did! thesis went last year

[@BoBBaB0oN]

u should take pic from side by side not from upper

[@thedividedheir]

@toyzofzion haha! I know, but it's just how I see it. Did anyone grab your attention at all?

[@Peterstandard]

hey i see daniel and bboy puzzles at 00:19

[@RyuDragonMS]

Robbed, nuff said. Dope battle either way.

[@cyberex7]

@heardys1 its chicago's area code

[@JackozD]

240p like a boss ;D!

[@ALLDAYCAL]

@benadesouza thats chicagos area code lol...soo fail troll on you sir.

[@BboyRezist]

@Dab1sh0p I don't think so bro. I mean obviously toyz has gotten WAY better bro, and has improved alot, but i am going to have to say El Nino definitely took this whole thing fair. He has been very succesful lately. Not because judges but because of his dedication and hard work he puts in to being a bboy. So im all the way for El Nino he took this whole event and he deserved it.

[@itstodahfcp]

reppin that old bay!!!!

[@BboyDice09]

My Balls dropped........after i saw those board going up for El~Nino LOL. Toy's def took this.

[@LilGandLilou]

What is the song

[@Rockin5teve]

THREE. ONE. TWO!

[@anestech85]

el nino showed more dynamics with his power. but style wise, hands down to toyz. toyz coulld've taken it if sets were a lot longer

[@MrLittleJa]

Where is chicago

[@runway2007]

@bmxvck That's chicago's area code. :D

[@AaronAcodisin13]

PLEASE, does any one the first track?!/

[@Bboyxcel1]

whats the song?

[@realkef]

what is this host saying, bc one this year is not even in moscow

[@MarqDaddy]

It just dawned on me you have to look at it in the judges eyes. Even though Toyz had more style El Niño was cocky and more confident on the floor. You have to watchthe video and think who does America want in Russia representing us.

[@admiralosproduction]

styyyyyyyyyle

[@thatbboy93]

312 is the chicago area code

[@najma50000]

@itsminim3 too much headspin :)

[@Funkzilla101]

El Nino is CRAZY. The whole competition until he took it. He beasted EVERY round and was so consistent. On another note: Toyz is the shizzzzzzzznitssss lol

[@norbert9275]

Style > Power

[@ALLDAYCAL]

@Paramedic80 Real DJs don't give out their playlist, They don't want other DJs using the breaks they found digging, thats the old school rules.

[@justk_kl]

What kind of adidas are toyz rockin btw?

[@MackDaddyOnTheTrack]

Lol at all the people talking about how Toyz was robbed. Chill. The panel of judges are there for a REASON. I believe it is much safer to trust their judgment then a bunch of internet superheroes.

[@bboydeffect3]

what some of yall are forgeting is bboy is about expressing ones self so just because u wouldnt do one move dosent mean its not dope or some one else wouldnt do it also i think toyz took it because he showed more style the power el nino did basic footwork nothing to facy (even know he dose have sick foot work) toyz has fresh power also (i have seen it in person at circles) but at the end of they day they both went hard congrats to el nino big up boogie brats

[@MarqDaddy]

on the real El Nino took it in power moves, but Toys definitely had more style fresh moves. I've watched alot of El Nino's moves they do seem taken from many BBoys but gotta give him credit cause he nails the moves like they were his own, but just like any of the dance styles many moves will be used over and over again untill something flashier is created out of it. Somebody can say I use El Nino's moves!

[@suvenir82]

Toyz!!!!

[@tlmn1114]

el nino looks like vin diesel but with hair xD

[@MikeDanger7]

@MackDaddyOnTheTrack his top is lack a bit
