Click CC for Subtitles! Freestyle soccer competitions went global in 2008 and changed its name to Red Bull Street Style. The competition opens its stage for the whole world to showcase and battle. The first world wide edition took place in Brazil, where the freestylers who advanced from respective national "battles" in more than 40 national contests met during the world finals. 3 minutes, 2 players, 1 ball: In each "battle" two players square off in a one-on-one duel against each other. They take alternating 20-second turns with the ball, using their time to show off the best of their artistic moves to the sounds of breakdance and hip-hop music. In the finals, the judges will be evaluating the three minutes flow based on control, creativity and style. The winner advances to the next round. There are no limits - other than the standard prohibition on the use of hands and a requirement that the ball and performer stay within a 7-metre wide (27-foot) competition area. http://redbullstreetstyle.com _____________________________________________________ Experience the world of Red Bull like you have never seen it before.
