Red Bull BC One Cypher Minneapolis 2011
B-Boy Mijo from Wisconsin won the Red Bull BC One Qualifier in Minneapolis!
Sixteen of the Midwest’s best B-Boys took to the stage yesterday to battle it out at the Red Bull BC Onc Cypher in Minneapolis. Wisconsin’s Juan “Mijo” Rodriguez worked his way through the bracketed competition and took home the win after four rounds of fierce competition. Mijo will move on to the Red Bull BC One National Qualifier to be held in Chicago this July 23rd in hopes of advancing to the international competition held in St. Petersburg, Russia this Fall. “I’m just excited to rep my crew. The Chicago qualifier should be a lot of fun,” said Mijo. All 16 b-boys came to the floor yesterday with endless bags of tricks from original power moves to mind-blowing footwork. However, it was the explosive blow-ups and variety of freezes that gave Mijo the edge, beating out Alejandro “Alex” Solis of Milwaukee, WI.
