Red Bull Street Style’s rules are easy as 3-2-1: three minutes, two players, and one ball form the battleground, in which control, creativity, and style are the elements – voted by a jury – that crown the winner. Players compete in one-on-one battles held on a special stage, seven meters in diameter, and need to alternate ball possession every 20 seconds while displaying their top tricks to the rhythm of music to impress the judges, beat their rival and move on to the next round.
Following on from the huge success of last year’s final in Sao Paulo, over the past two months, the UK has hosted four regional heats of its own in London, Newcastle, Nottingham and Bristol. With 3 players from each regional heat going forward, including 4 wild cards, there will be 16 players in total who will be battling it out in the final to be crowned Red Bull Street Style Champion 2009. Since the final is returning to the nation’s capital, Red Bull Reporter are looking for a young and keen filmmaker and presenter to report on this exclusive assignment!!
