[@bladesdna]

I have no idea how Machine and Born always hit the beats consistently. It never fails to amaze me.

[@DanteStyles]

You are absolutely right man. Thank you for having a decent grasp on reality, unlike some others on youtube.

[@N3WBR33D91]

This was a really sick battle! Both sides were incredible.

[@Soulfide]

thanks for uploading this BboySoulz

[@wanderer208]

this is amazing!

[@bboynijntje]

BOOM, thank you man =D

[@ShaneNagy]

Machine my favorite ❤

[@14137caleb]

one of the best battles ive ever seen

[@Holyfiremikey]

No doubt, that guy's so under rated and his footwork is unimaginably swift.

[@smeerios]

Man, even though Thesis is so young, you would never be able to tell by his dancing. Such confidence and perfection from such a young bboy is amazing! Great battle. Machine at the end.... mindblowing

[@aznbuldozr]

very nice way to start the battle two great similar styles thesis and wing

[@55OmegA55]

Well the song that starts right at 1:21, after the intro is DJ Format - Lords Of Cardboard

[@NI3L333]

katsu > born commandos at 6:05 made my day

[@asdfjkl2557]

I didn't know Johnny Depp bboyed 0:06

[@BboySoulz]

Holland, I think all IBE events are held in holland. Its dope to see new younger generation come out, im excited for 2009.

[@Jets262]

My god, I've never heard of machine, but his last set was sooo fucking dope. And damn... Hong 10 with those 1 handed halos...

[@AlexKFseidan]

For me 2008 was one of the bests IBE

[@JoeDuku]

smurf and hong 10 was good, damn!

[@robinsoncano2472]

watching Kazuhiro then Smurf is amazing... like watching 2 tornados

[@texplosiv]

machine has to be one of the best beat-rockers ever!

[@DATcoolCOT]

most favorite battle

[@NicoCdawg]

oh most definitely

[@FunkyVinylJunkie]

there are some straight raw sets in this battle!

[@widzterimlan318]

Nice Luigi, dope.

[@spritedblue]

favorite part .. ending. machine killed it.

[@ddpurin5150]

Differ is my hero.

[@Crapulax237YT]

Legend battle

[@OzzieSean]

Yeah I saw that one too. The guy from NEWEST crew was Jong Min and apparently he was also part of Expression. They probably just messed up there.

[@rayallen7002]

soon as the mc said street masters I almost died ...legendary Miami bboy crew

[@JordanGamingUniverse]

best bboy vid ever mann hands down!!!!

[@BboySoulz]

The remix is either done by dj element or dj timbers. The Original song is called Dj Format - Lord of the Cardbord. Enjoy.

[@MrBarizo]

LOL! Lil' Bob went in with Korea/Japan. Funny guy.

[@nahsirah]

nice beat kill by machine at the end

[@TheGraffiteGhost]

my favorite from each side: Wing & Machine :D

[@BboySoulz]

Darkness was in IBE 2005 :P but don't expect your fav bboy to be in as specific event, I mean I wish darkness was in this one but when he was in his 25s :P

[@hockeyboi2468]

i love how bboy smurf wears all RED lol

[@PhantomR32]

I like how Youval just shouts a random area code at 3:52 lol.. "The 999"

[@kennybear0]

this was the best ibe ever in my opinion xb aha

[@bzlv1]

Timber rocked that battle...nasty beats

[@ElkkuPimpBiatch]

the music is so much better than in same battle 2005

[@sanchez9215]

machine is frukn dope at the end

[@NangongReng1973]

WOW!!

[@Holyfiremikey]

Are you talking about just this clip or the whole three part video? I only recall him coming out once in this video, with the jackhammers to the beat.

[@TheRagerock]

the end of the first taisuke set was great, before smurf, he break the song with very style. even without physicx the korean team was fantastic, but yes, i miss he =(, xD MACHINE WAS SICK!!, i think that his set is one of the best, all the moments of this.

[@ykkvn]

i dont know if great man is in all area. but i do know that Kazuhiro is. and yea ur right. but at least its a step up from ibe 2005 usa team.

[@bboyfunkystylez999]

first song: Earth dance - Bobby Bryant

[@utopia998]

Just see the lineup of Japan/Korea, all the stars are all inside, styler, powermover, blowups, you name it.

[@sonnilawal-solarin8917]

No one noticed lil bob (red jacket) comically coming in with Korea and Japan instead of the US team? 0:43

[@xdbuix]

@BboyMattie man i was looking for machine n kid david 2 but yea this ibe team still beast.

[@vglncom]

Machine killed that beat at the end.

[@user-jb7et9iq2r]

Yes, money does make the world go round, but that doesn't mean an event can't be had without corporate sponsorship. Look at the early Freestyle Sessions, BOTY, and even the BBoy Summits- those were done with local and scene sponsorship. It's the big money prizes that require the big sponsor names and that is what corrupts the scene. The problem, I think, is that it has become such a standard to have huge venues, huge sterile circles, and huge money prizes, that when the corporations do want to

[@JesterzPlauge]

Machine is on freaking point man!

[@ykkvn]

I just notice that Thesis was biting Toyz. lol but they have similar stylez but the ending to his first set is EXACTLY how toyz does his lol. I cant wait to c those two battle.

[@jasonjeong8453]

i love how two rival countries with so much history of hatred towards one another grouped together for the sake of art and representing asians. team asia ftw!

[@Caotoonz]

DAMNN Differ called that at 9:59!!

[@BboySoulz]

Yea

[@aznbuldozr]

dam machine killed it at the end

[@trmble6]

USA is really agressive here hahaha dope battle gotta love these exhibitions

[@Holyfiremikey]

He went out like once...

[@kevizzlecwalk]

woah hong 10 wow impressive

[@shounenk]

That would be cool if dragon from foundnation was in this. He's also from MZK. Would have been cool to see a routine with dragon & taisuke

[@ryanpumper]

song at 2:53 poets of rhythm-north carolina

[@PublicICON]

I think Machine has the best backflip to splits I've ever seen.

[@lucasveraholy09]

kerea best!

[@user-jb7et9iq2r]

be involved more, there won't be much hesitation. I can see it happening already. It's not nearly as bad as the 80s-- when corporate greed nearly gutted the scene to oblivion-- but it's still quite a looming threat.

[@OzzieSean]

MZK fest starting Born went out, then it was Katsu, Smurf, Kazuhiro (could be wrong about Kazu), Alien Ness, then you could see Katsu and Born talking about their commando. Haha, thats MZK love...

[@katanaboy995]

oh yeah Taisuke too

[@DanteStyles]

wow. that's crazy.

[@Mrjorgegarciaify]

@MrJohnnyYang Hell yeah!!! If bboy Ivan the urban action figure was in this,it would be over.

[@airbreezy]

naw theres a lot from cali. Machine,lil bob, thesis(i think), smurf, ruen,

[@legit2344]

differ is sickkk

[@bboyfunkystylez999]

actually lords of cardboard from dj format is a remix, the originial is that from dj timber

[@BboySoulz]

its just a commando, its like a tag in tag out. im pretty sure more than 500 people in the world have done it.

[@Holyfiremikey]

Japan side was Katsu from Style Vale Tudo/MZK. You might be confusing Katsu as Taisuke. Now you may be talking about Taisuke killing it in this entire IBE event in maybe the other battles like against Europe, but as for this very video clip we are commenting under, Taisuke did not even come out once. If he did, show me where because I just looked through this whole video clip again and first guy out was Thesis, last was Machine, and in between that Taisuke is nowhere to be found dancing.

[@helicaldota]

in which country was IBE08 held ?

[@kyurah]

damn machine kills it again...

[@azharijames]

Tyquan was there too ..MZK

[@BboySoulz]

That was Dj Timber? If So, sick!

[@nidalamr5241]

Old school break dance

[@user-fj9fhne8cn3]

0:43 lil bob came out in Korea/Japan line looooooooooool surely because he is also asian, nobody noticed him hahaha

[@ykkvn]

lol sprry i dont know which comment ur replying to. i posted so many times on this vid. uh i guess ur talking about kandoll. yea i do see him much either. the last i saw him he was on some korean dream team along w/ Bruse Lee, The End, Snake, and some guy from NEWEST crew. but yea i wish i could c more of him.

[@shounenk]

lol you could see at 5:40. Born wanting to battle ness. Like they did at ibe 05

[@OzzieSean]

Damn this battle was tight! I kinda wished Bboy Kandoll (Expression) was there in the, he woulda' killed with his insane footwork. Oh well he's not very well known, but it woulda been nice seeing Snake or Physicx too. Machine, Thesis, and Luigi were killin' it too! Does anyone know the song starting at 2:53?

[@KEVINAWESOMENESS]

I wish all of the major bboys would show up at IBE every year.

[@BboySoulz]

Chill...you can't expect your favourite bboy to be in a specific battle.

[@BboySoulz]

@mursoner Dj Format - Lords of the cardboard

[@shatda]

@megasrd123 even super cr3w has asains of their own: ronnie, do-knock, rockadile and vex

[@mitismee]

if physicx wasn't injury in 2008 man . i'm sure he'll be here in IBE 2008 and showing his crazy Signature

[@ShaneNagy]

Legit was thinking Physicx would’ve have the biggest applause out of anyone there! His shoulder spin alone would’ve closed the show

[@Vraneon]

Can anyone tell me the name of the first song (with the claping) ? Thanks!

[@user-jb7et9iq2r]

I don't know about moonsojung, but I feel that corporate entities should not be involved in sponsoring bboys, ever. This (and hip hop in general) should never be bigger than an expression of yourself. Who the hell needs corporations to sponsor that? This is a main reason why the dance, the culture exploded in the first place: it represented the essence of self in such a way that most people couldn't fully understand it.. and that in itself brings some serious soul to the equation.

[@camel210787]

song machine dance

[@aseed89]

4:07 and 4:11 are siiick, haha. Katsu got him back

[@poetunleashingemo]

both korea/Japan and the US are good in both ways - I am no dancer but every bboy dance their best - so if you are not a dancer, at all, just shut up and watch the video instead of being super-protective of your fav crew.

[@katanaboy995]

Katsu,Born and Ness Mighty zulu kings! Battling it out!

[@Holyfiremikey]

lol, why is my comment about bboy Kandoll having amazing footwork given a thumbs down?

[@BboySoulz]

Before the MC was like, SPEED IT UP DJ SPEED IT UP DJ

[@youtubeneedscompetition]

Machiiiiiine

[@55OmegA55]

Machine just murdered at the end of the vid.

[@tag1989]

BBO MACHINE IS SICKK

[@ykkvn]

i love kandoll. first bboy ive ever seen.
