The live premier of the Bboy Sports Games will take place at the 2022 WBB Pro Bboy Sports Championships in the Tribeca Performing Arts Center in New York City, Saturday, August 27th at 7:00 PM and will air on September 13th at 8:00 PM on ESPN2. The biggest Bboy Sports event of 2022 features eight of the league’s national champions of Breaking competing in individual one-on-one Bboy sports battles for the sport’s world title, grand prize money and the right to be crowned the Best Bboy on Earth.
With today’s breakdancing aka breaking competitions failing to engage the mainstream, World Bboy Battle led by founder Frankie “Sirswift” Hernandez, created a new action sport of Breaking called the Bboy Sport, an exciting, educational and engaging competition the whole family can share, enjoy and easily follow.
Welcome to the world premiere of the Bboy Sports Games, a series of individual one-on-one Bboy Sports Battles or matchups in a single elimination tournament. In these battles athletes perform complex awe-inspiring sets in style rounds of Footwork, Powermove and Burner where a panel of judges score each performance under the Pro Breaking League sport’s regulated scoring system based on ten fundamental elements in Breaking.
The battles are styled after violent combat sporting events to give each matchup a sense of fighters about to kill each other. But instead of exchanging blows, these world-class athletes exchange highly skilled and complex extreme breakdancing moves.
With World Bboy Battle unleashing its Bboy Sport on ESPN, prepare to have the league’s champions blow your mind when they perform insane gravity-defying air moves, acrobatics, flips, tricks and spins never seen before. Even if you’re not familiar with Breaking, you will find yourself following the scores, cheering your favorite athlete, and easily immersed in each matchup.
