Outbreak Europe- a flashback of memorable stories, and special and crazy moments, coming together of the hip hop, breaking community

You see, Breaking is bigger than ever right now. Sponsorships, media coverage, sporting recognition… it’s a crazy, amazin

OK, let’s jump right to the point that seems clear, when it comes to live streamed and broadcasted breaking events, the breaking scene...

Over the year I’ve written many stories on what makes Outbreak Europe an event that always fills our souls; The Vibe, the Spirit of Hip Hop, the Moments.

It's been 10 years since the stories of Outbreak Europe came whispering out of the country of Slovakia, carried over mountains and borders, across oceans and continents, on the tongues of those early rhythm chasing explorers who ventured to a place they'd never heard of all in the pursue of Hip Hop. Stories of a vibe unlike any other re-told to disbelieving and curious ears that wondered how such things could be true about an event put on in a small city called Banska Bys

It's been just about 3 weeks since the Spirit of Hip Hop once again flowed through the small city of Banska Bystrica, in Slovakia. Just about 3 weeks since Breakers, Hip Hop culture heads, Poppers, Hip Hop freestyle dancers, DJs, hosts, judges, rappers, breaking fans and more once again gathered to share in the experience of Outbreak Europe, get down at the Legit Blast Summer Festival, and celebrate the life of David 'Mex One' Alvarado.

This will be the third article I write on it and I wondered myself if I'd have any more to say. But it's Outbreak, the Legit Blast summer festival! There's always something to say, always stories of moments to be told. I can talk about the moment we arrived in Vienna and already felt the energy building as we exited the airport and ran
