M's been lagging on posts (to her credit, she's been really busy helping at the arts space with the festival), but since she took all these pictures, you can pretend that this is from her.
It turned out to be a really fun night. We didn't always agree with the judges' choices on who won, but we're not really experts in the field. It was certainly an inspiration, though, as we've been bust-a-moving on the subway or bus. More on that later.

hey there~ found your blog through googling XD I'm in Beijing now (and will be for a long time haha) ~ any suggestions on where to go to see some bboy action i've seen skaters around but no breaking. btw, awesome shots!!
thanks ~
hey jin,
just noticed your comment, thanks!
we caught this bboy competition at the yugong yishan, which is this quasi-underground venue that features everything from punk concerts and live folk to screenings of chinese independent film. and, apparently, breakdance competitions.
this one in particularly was put on by the Beijing Hip Hop Collective, so maybe you could try googling them to see if they have any other stuff going on.
enjoy!
