Social Science 1×02 – Big Once: The Second City Takeover (Update with New Video) (Video)

To cap off a whirlwind week of news surrounding the exploits of the US Red Bull Thre3style Champion, Big Once, we bring to you our updated article and video interview by the folks behind our web series, Social Science.

When we last left Big Once, earlier this week, our exposition had left off at our return to the Hotel Georgia in Vancouver, Canada for a practice session and a check-in for the night’s sound-check.  To paraphrase our last brief article on our experience with the stalwart DJ, he was described by most of the participants and press folk as one of the nicest, calmest guys at the event.  I saw him to be well …

SXSW Red Bull Thre3style showcase to feature US Champ Big Once and World Champ DJ Hedspin (Updated) (Video)

Leading out of the preliminary qualifiers being held this month in search of the next Red Bull Thre3style World Champion, the event finds itself setting up shop at SXSW this year featuring the US Champ, Big Once, and the reigning champ, the Vancouver Kid, DJ Hedspin.

Red Bull Thre3style Heat 4 Recap and Thoughts (Video)

With the end of the world finals looming in the horizon, the contestants for heat 4, were definitely in a league of their own.  Bearing witness to the three previous heats, it was noticeable that the 5 remaining DJs were working to make sure that the judges and crowd were left in a heap of sweat and their ears begging for more.

The international suspects for the night included SUPA! from France and the previous year’s winners protege, DJ Byte hailing from Chile, Peru’s Thomas Young, DJ Spell from New Zealand, and the US champ, Big Once.  Despite strong showings for the night, the crowd made it no secret who their favorites were — France’s SUPA! and the United States’ Big Once.
