The Ruggeds love Hip OPsession

The Ruggeds have a long history when it comes to Hip Opsession. Better yet, Hip OPsession was one of the first events to see something in us, deciding to get us to their event. It started out with Niek entering the 1vs1 in 2007. Where he got stuck on 2nd place.. for a looong time. It took him 4 times, with three 2nd places before finally winning the event in 2012.

Also as a crew we visited the event many times, and it was one of the first events where Skychief blew up. 

Niek vs Fever

So this year it's time to repay our debt. We're taking the car to Nantes this weekend, doing the qualification, and celebrating the 10th anniversary of one of our favorite events!

The Ruggeds vs Vagabonds

Last weekend Jazzy Gypz, Skychief & Tawfiq took on Vagabonds. It turned out to be a tie, with Jazzy winning the final round against Mounir. Check it out!

Breakin World Series

Right now it's thursday, we're halfway through the week here at the Breakin World Series in Montpellier. The Breakin World Series is an all new concept, where 8 crews from all over the world, travel to Montpellier, and spent an entire week in the city shooting a video. They get to choose and bring their own Director, and Music Producer.

The Ruggeds at the 2014 World Breaking Series

So we chose to bring Eindhovens own Y'skid the most talented Beat Producer in The Netherlands for the past decade. For directing we went with Antoine Schirer, originally from France, but travelling most of his time making videos all over the world.

Keep an eye out for the video, which will probably be online soon. As well as videos from the other crews such as Morning of Owl, Top 9, Brazilian Allstars, Metling Force, Foundnation and Bboyworld Team. Or come down to Zenith Stadium in Montpellier this saturday, to watch us beat the crews mentioned above!
