It only seems like five minutes ago that we were watching Hong 10 celebrate his record-equalling second Red Bull BC One world title in Seoul, but this week the schedule for the 2014 competition was revealed.

The biggest news is that Paris will host the centrepiece World Final for the first time since 2008 – it’s been a long time away from one of the strongest B-Boy scenes on the planet. France has already produced two champions – Lilou in 2005 and 2009 and Mounir, who triumphed in Rio de Janeiro in 2012 – but can it produce a winner on home soil?

The video below should give you an idea of what to expect from the night.



The World Final is not until November 29 though and there's a long road ahead for any potential new champion. There's also a chance for you to get involved in action live, as B-Boys go head-to-head in a series of 33 national cyphers, starting with Cairo, Egypt, on February 28, 2014.

Check out the Red Bull BC One 2014 Cypher schedule here.

The best of the B-Boys will then move on to the next level, one of six regional finals:
