Braun BOTY 2011 Final Vagabonds Crew (France) - Battle Born (USA)

The Braun Battle of the Year Final 2011 at the Park & Suites Arena in Montpellier, France on November 19. Mouss Besson.
***Vagabonds***
-L'un des crews les plus reconnus au monde qui se renouvelle et se régénère en permanence. Leur première finale internationale sous le nom de Vagabonds date de 2002 ou ils échouèrent en finale contre Expression Korea Crew. Vainqueur du titre international en 2006 contre le groupe Coréen Last For One avec un show qui fit date dans l'histoire du BOTY International . Ils reviennent cette année avec une nouvelle génération et ce n'est pas pour faire de la figuration, des nouveaux membres mais toujours B-boy Momo en tant que l'un des meilleurs leader et formateur au monde. Les danseurs de Vagabonds sont Mounir, Nabil, Keyz, Bibo, Abdel, Tim, Neil, Gary et Momo.

Already one of the longest and most successful crews around, the French qualifiers Vagabonds have grown through regeneration and bringing fresh talent into the crew. Straight out of Paris, they won the Battle Of The Year 2006 by beating the South Korean crew "last for one", the 2005 champions. After they toured through France, Tunisia and Italy with their show "Alien", the Vagabonds participated again in major b-boy competitions two years later. Over the years, the formation of the crew has changed because some of the original members, like Lamine, Salah, Laos and Ilaria chosed to go for their own goals. The current members are Mohamed (Momo), Nordine (Nono), Mounir, Abdel, Kamel (BossK), Karim (Pepito), Sofiane (Soan) and Nié (Sayan). This year, this determined and focused crew have risen again above fierce competition in France to qualify and are going all out for the Braun Battle Of The Year title on their home turf.

I h8 BOTY being in France, those silly patriots with all their screaming and nationality, i just cannot believe Boty was able to get from worse to worst in the past 2 yrs. Boty's before '2005 were the last trully epic, I think.

@wildskyy what you see is just the a begining, Montpellier.

Im pretty sure in a few years, battle born is gonna be crazy, after traveling to france. Bboys gain huge experience out of their country, city, just by traveling. :) Both crews were dope, love this battle.

[9tothaOH]

[ozii5]

[Zitolos]

@Shu92tillinfinity Yo BB has been around for a long time ...... They are ok in the states but This BOTY was shit, and they shouldnt have even been there Squadron destroyed them at the qualifier ...... And on top of that, they struggle vs the big heads of the US as well ............. Vagabonds are the bboy worlds main assholes and have chomped alot of old school Korean crews....

[prisonbreakeuz]

[chudacikk]

BOTY in France is just one big FAIL! :(

[NeoOsiris19]

@Aurkus23 Bro BOTY goes as far back as the early 90s. Know your history...

[Aurkus23]

@1981truba Crazy is going a bit far, and to be honest I didn't even know boty went that far back, looks like I have some vid searching to do : )

[1981truba]

@Aurkus23 r u crazy? US won BOTY 1997&1998 (Style Elements & Rock Force Crew), crews reppin' US were in finals in 1998 (Phase II & Rock Force Crew), 1999 (Rock Force Crew) and 2001 (Havicoro). The reasons US didn't come to BOTY years after, I think, were crappy politicized judjing and the overal level of the event going down year after year. it's become a piece of ultimate crap right now, as you see)
