1. From the streets to the top of the Swiss Alps

In 2018, Red Bull BC One All Stars Junior and Hong 10 battled in what was probably the most iconic battle location ever used in breaking: on top of the Swiss Alps in a production known as From The Streets To The Top of the World.
First Junior flew by Helicopter to the top of the Matterhorn mountain, where he was photographed doing one of his signature freezes. Then a stage was built on top of mount Schilthorn, upon which Hong 10 and Junior battled in sub-zero temperatures as it was filmed from the sky, creating one super-cool production.
