For those in need of an update on B-boy culture (clue: it has very little to do with the Beastie Boys any more), Liverpool's HUB Festival is the perfect catch up. As part of the UK's biggest free urban youth festival, B-boys and B-girls will join with extreme sports fans, skateboarders and bands in a takeover of Liverpool's Wellington Dock. In B-boy circles the dance-off is a way of life, and one of the festival's most popular events has traditionally been the Tear It Up International B-boy Championships. Strictly Come Breakdancing this ain't - the competition promises "no judging, just straight out dance warfare". The winners receive cash prizes, and, more importantly, bragging rights. Also on offer is a mountain bike freestyle show with biking pros Martyn Ashton and Sam Pilgrim and some good old fashioned human beatboxers (where would we be without 'em?).
