HOUSTON, Texas -- For those who grew up in the '80s - when people's idea of cutting up a rug was laying out some cardboard and having a battle to see who can stand on their head and spin around the best - this event is for you.

Red Bull BC One - the world's largest breaking competition - will be returning to Houston on Saturday, August 14, at Warehouse Live. This 18th iteration will kick off with a series of workshops, leading up to the ultimate breaking battle.
