Red Bull BC One 2007 - Johannesburg, Africa

[@skillful]

man I love how Taisuke looked like he was going into a flare in his second set.. but then SIKE!

[@M8TRIX777]

ronnies style might look sloppy to someone who doesn't practice the art, but he's really has some of the most intricate and complicated sets out there today.

[@13oogie]

2:11 always trips me out, very very slick move!

[@kingcairo]

the way Ronnie dances sorta gives a retro feel 2 it, love his style wish he could teach me =)

[@JaySamsonDesign]

Taisuke was hella quick and had some exciting moments. But Ronnie killed it. He was hella clean and he shows enough variety in skill. He knows what the judges are lookin for.

[@Sleepyabess]

ronnie sure rocked him but i mean taisuke is ony 17 years old!! for that age to take a part at a competition like this is great

[@BreakdancingUnicorn]

I'm pretty sure that this IS the original beat. Both Taisuke and Ronnie were riding the beat like it was actually playing (because it probably was) and not all BC One videos have music dubbed over them...

[@giuseppecorleonenguyen6037]

First bc one of uncrowned King

[@DiDDyRoCk18]

1:34 Taisuke was dope... I love his toprock!!

[@MrPooface11]

everyone whos fucking saying ronnie sucks or taisuke shldve won not ronnie, your disrespecting him like crazy. ronnie won red bull bc one 2007 and almost won 2004 2005 and 2006 so why are yall even talking? and taisuke is a great bboy too he almost won 2008. so respect both bboys.

[@HaikenEdge]

That happened during this year's Red Bull BC One finals, where Wing and Taisuke stood around for half a minute or so until Ivan came in and spun the Red Bull.

[@TheGuider]

What the hell is this... I wonder how much Ronnie paid the judges to get him the Champion title? Taisuke killed him with style, clean moves and smooth transitions! Ronnie's way in BC One 2007 should've stopped right at this battle.

[@Wouda_fr]

Taisuke is better. Not because he do a lot of footwork. Just because he got more style and he's more technic. Really, his tops, footwork and Powermove kills the beat.

[@Ivannoise]

Did't spect that too, that move was very original I think.

[@daexmachinus]

Even if Taisuke lost, that was back then (I think he was 17?) so he was pretty fresh back then. Ronnie is a veteran at BC One and has 3 years of experience of it.

[@maxliang6401]

man...the battle was so tight,i prefer taisuke personally

[@josepeisen654]

ohhh, i'm inlove w/ ronnie's freestyle breakin'..,

[@FunnyStylez]

taisuke is waaay too smooth. lovin' it

[@HipHop24Seven]

I love the contrasting colors, red vs blue...tight as hell lol. It was hilarious when Ronnie was like "cmon g'head go first!" with the look on his face....see that's what happens when u don't have a coin toss, both breakers will feel the need to go LAST.

[@DiDDyRoCk18]

the best battle in da BC '07, in my opinion

[@lotustyle]

Yeah that's true. Going first shows initiative as a battler, but going second allows you to react to the opponent's set.

[@ZekeAsakuraX]

Hmm yeah same, but Darkness and Noodle are gonna be there too, so it's hard to decide who to root for, but Taisuke is definitely one of my favorites no doubt.

[@HiAdrian]

Damn Taisuke rocks. To my shame i have to admit i didn't know who he was. Seen him in some IBE'08 clip and he directly caught my attention.

[@HaikenEdge]

Maybe I've watched too many of Ronnie's sets, but damn, his sets are all starting to look the same to me now.

[@vme3000]

The beginning so epic with the stare down, wild wild west for breakdancing. To see who draws first haha

[@thepathablaze]

if taisuke, ronnie, hong 10, and arguably sebastien got to semis i woulda been happier. single elim has its ups and downs

[@tmksk]

yeah born on the same day and started breaking the same day hes power to what taisuke is style

[@bboyflubb]

the last song is "Date With The Rain Eddie Kendri

[@ohnoesguy]

Ronnie was smart! He took advantage of Taisuke's inexperience and stayed confident the whole way through. He was up in Taisuke's face xD haha. It's a brilliant battle strategy!!

[@DanielKeithMorrison]

real talk u named the right guys...plus when ronnie gets his face on avideo game lol u'll know he reached prime.

[@sparrow672]

Just throwing it out there. That's not the original music that they used in the battle. They just chose a song and played it over.

[@mellowbeatz93]

taisuke was in 2007 17 years old...so he is extrem talented.

[@UghhItsTony]

both sick dancers. hahaha taisukes hair style looks bad ass. and hes so energetic. but Ronnie is more transitional with moves. Go ronnie! cant wait for red bull bc one 2008 france dawg

[@magicdice1000]

im not sure i would include the end in that list of the best of the best... but yea ur right

[@ShadowkidxP]

same with me. right now i'm working on windmills.

[@appletri]

taisuke's style is fwking awsome

[@Shizno87]

Taisuke needs to work on the toprock 2. just look at how he almost start out the same way every round.

[@manzanares28]

Ronnies style flows really well and its somewat original.Taisuke style is more practical with that "suave flava" added into..its kinda hard to judge if u have u have only see them once b4..if u see them battle b4 its a bit more obvious who won

[@supersaiyenryan]

i like how they spend the first minute battling who should go first

[@HaikenEdge]

Definitely. Taisuke's a beast.

[@battletoadgods]

yea the second set is actually what did it for me

[@MrCOMPLICATEDFUN]

whoa 16 I wonder how old he was when he started? btw that was a great battle :D

[@yalishandadatricka]

no, it was creating tension...you didnt notice that? and it was kinda funny...I think taht was a very fitting and cool start for a battle.

[@ykkvn]

yea me too. but they are both hella dope though

[@awaldoster]

he is just showing style =))

[@akennext]

Last set by Taisuke was straightup nasty!

[@tmksk]

born and taisuke would be a epic toprock and style battle

[@Viking445]

hell ya. Way better.

[@NicoCastro]

what the name of this beat??? por favorr

[@Qurash]

but still very interesting the communication between them

[@070destroyer0701]

i want to know who speed up the video when taisuke started to dance LoL xD

[@jais3n]

yea taisuke got some good style here...

[@Stiggproductions]

Ronnie was the winner no doubt! He had more flava, style, downrock, floorrock,,foundations than Taisuke

[@thebigmike94]

I have noticed that ronnie has never gone first in like all of his battles

[@celever77]

cant belive Ronnie wasnt dat popular when his da super cru..

[@bobyXiong]

omg taisuke should have had that one in the long run

[@onnu23]

ronnie isnt a legend just yet i think people like physicx,hong 10, lilou,junior,and darkness have just became legends because they won more competions and have been more than ronnie has. Menno is a star in the bboy scene right now and he will soon become a legend az well

[@abstrac7giant]

i think that ronnie wanted taisuke to go first cause in my opinion ronnie wanted taisuke to prove to him why he was wearin his zulu kings. honestly its all head games cause the moment u throw someone off it throws their whole set off. thats just my opinion. big ups to both ronnie and taisuke very entertaining...both had clean sets but im just saying that compare ronnie 1st set to taisuke 3rd & that was the battle imo.....

[@golfmaniac007]

taisuke.....winner in this battle!

[@youthxx47]

taisukes last round was serious power

[@chicano420]

I agree!

[@kchiang4200]

i dunno how taisuke manages to do any footwork with that big ass necklace slapping his face

[@mellowbeatz93]

love taiukes top and downrocks.

[@Oyashio202]

I dunno.. those judges im sure know what they are doing... Ronnie made it to 2nd last red bull and came and won this one... it shows he is a better bboy since taisuke lost both times... lawl

[@M2theIdget726]

You know what would be a crazy fuckin battle!? TAISUKE VS HONG 10

[@ChilleyHippo]

hmm is it just me or has taisukes attitude changed a lot from bc one 07-08. in this battle he seems so confident and cocky at the same time but in 08 he has a more worried serious look. i miss cocky taisuke :[

[@knokturnal215]

that was a good battle taisuke was good, he should have won

[@MrKevinb1989]

Wow, this battle has many more views than Ronnie vs Hong 10 battle

[@chickendude08]

Junior in highschool at that level, holy crap...

[@Dak0dy_Gaming_while_Native]

I would have like to have seen Taisuke v Roxrite I think that there styles match up a little more similar, i think it makes for a more intresting battle

[@steve0h2004]

LOL! they took forever deciding who's gonna make the first move.

[@iCrabMan]

Style dont help if you're failing and stumbeling like Ronnie is doing here. Taisuke makes his moves so fucking clean the floor is getting slippy. I find Taisuke's style much better than Ronnies anyway.

[@MrExpression1000]

taisuke's tops fuckin killin it man!

[@jerekoh18]

im ronnie all the way.. but damn taisuke is the beast too... fucking footwork is fast as hell...

[@razno212]

yeah 2:14 is one of my fav moves very very sick.

[@SuhDeokHae]

taisuke @ 2:15 so dope. love his style

[@GamerDoubleJ]

@adamtopdog i sort of agree, cause in a sense, attitude is important as long as it doesn't get into a way that will be disrespectful

[@M0ONB0Y]

blue and red! This can call Red Blue BC One!!!

[@NyctNyct]

Ever notice no one wanted to go first.

[@magicdice1000]

also u really can't tell who won without having the original music

[@Aydel1204]

Pretty similar set Taisuke had vs Lil Ceng. Wait! I think he followed Ceng's style a bit.....no? Maybe.. Cool matching red outfit tho.

[@MrJamesdryable]

it takes a minute to decide who's going first.........

[@ages66]

ronnie killed it

[@mnikss03]

How does he suck? Give me some insight on his style and his flava. What do you got? Where are your battles? Much talk for some E-boy. Ronnie's one of the best all-around bboys.

[@BBoyFury]

Really man? Taisuke is dope, yeah. But Ronnie repeating teh same moves for 5 years...he's one of the most unique BBoys out there, and if you watch him from year to year, he ALWAYS has new moves that he throws in there. Sure, he uses alot of his old moves too, but I challenge you to find me one bboy who doesn't reach back into their repertoire to pull out some classics.

[@cleitonrodriguesdacosta8232]

Mano qndo ronnie tira a Jack e lê sabe que o cara manda partiu ....ocara é bom

[@franyschi]

taisuke @ 2:13 was dope

[@onnu23]

yeah man we all knew hong 10 beat ronnie in semi finals and lilou beat roxrite in semi finals it would have been Lilou Vs Hong 10 again and the judges wanted some other people to face off thats why it was like this

[@akatsu24]

nah, taisuke didn't come hard enough on the 1st round, and crashed on the 2nd

[@BBOYKRAZEEE]

@TheUfoleader I Agree, But In This Battle. He Was Saving. his First Round Was Very Short & He Crashed His Invert At The 2nd. the 3rd Was Beast. But Props To Ronnie. Taisuke Couldve Given Better

[@jahmhilruckus4476]

This is what exactly happened in the 2013 battle between Lilou and Taisuke. Taisuke keeps on repeating his moves. That's why judges favored on Lilou even if he made a crash.. Btw the crash was hard but the recovery was smooth. It didn't really get too much attention. In other video angles, Lilou's crash is not much of a big deal.

[@vme3000]

Thanks darenun

[@QuoTzyPH]

@Ninjalord525 this was at 2007. he started doing them at around 2009

[@CBouDZ]

@Ninjalord525 lmao yeah he turned 17 like a week after red bull bc

[@generaljerkerex3]

Ronnie!!!

[@jiangalang]

i love what taisuke did at 2:14 ;p

[@MiracleMovement]

yea me n my friend startd watchin him 4 awhile but i havnt watchd nethin from him 4 awhile so i 4got his name

[@josepeisen654]

i love taisuke's move at 2:14

[@AaronAcodisin13]

The only reason why people This taisuke won is because in the original song, Ronnie killed the beat, but in this version taisuke looked like he won cause the beat was organized nd matched the toprock, soo stop Trippin nd saying that taisuke got robbed.

[@Coldillusionist]

Taisuke got mad style!
