and if you think you got

what it takes to represent

the red, the white, the blue,

you'd better bring it.

Okay, Terrence.

TERRENCE:
Check, check, check.

My man D is prowling

for b-boy gold.

If your crew has

what it takes,

you need to come on

down here.

We are looking for

the best of the best.

I don't care how

you get down here.

Just bring your ass on down.

BLAKE:
Here's our first 32.

So what now?

Now we see what

they're made of.

BLAKE:
Tell me your name

and where you're from.

Name's Sight,

representing Desert Rock.

This is Kilowatt,

Cincinnati Street Kings.

Grifter, Miami Viper Crew.

Bambino from the Rip

Rock Crew, Baltimore.

Mayhem, Orlando, Florida.

Lil Adonis from Chicago.

Flipz, Bronx Rockers.

I go by Kid.

Rebel.

And we're representing

Philadelphia.

Anis, Hollywood

Jet Funk, via France.

Do Knock, LA Strangler Crew.

The name's Rooster.

I got the five

elements of death,

footwork, style, power,

originality and soul.

If you ain't got that,

don't even get in the ring.

So why do you break?

Breaking is my everything.

This means everything

in the world to me.

It's the most important

thing in my life.

It's self-expression.

I live it, I breathe it.

I didn't really have much,

and then I found breaking.

After Afghanistan,

I needed b-boying.

Breaking saved my...

Life.

It's the only thing I got.

I'm a b-boy, and I'm gay,

and a lot of people

have issue with that.

Imagine you're

the son of a rabbi

and you're trying

to be cool and break.

You're Jewish and a b-boy.

He's probably adopted.

A main goal that I

think every b-boy has

is Battle of the Year.

Battle of the Year is like

the Mecca of b-boying.

It's like Eli Manning

winning the Super Bowl.

It's like the Olympics

to breaking.

Battle of the Year means...

Everything to a b-boy.

It's the only thing there is.

Why do you deserve

to be on this crew?

There is no dream team without Grifter.

'Cause I'm damn good.

I have what it takes

to be one of the...

Best ever.

Ever'?

I want to be on that team

that brings it home.

What do you think

about when you battle?

My main focus is,

if I don't win,

I got to go back

to my old life.

My mother.

B-girls.

Being so damn good.

Kicking ass.

I think about how

much I love b-boying.

Yeah, b-girls.

(ALL CHATTERING)

(SHUSHING)

First of all, I want to

thank you all for coming.

We appreciate your efforts.

You did a great job.

But we only have

22 spots to fill,

so please stand up

when I call your name.

First up is Do Knock.

DO KNOCK:
Yes!

Anis.

Yes.

Hey, let me hear my name.

Sniper.

Oorah, yeah!

Flipz.

Yes.

Grifter.

Did you hear your name?

Man, we good.
