Victor

Victor Montalvo, also known as B-Boy Victor, a Mexican American breaker from Florida, was introduced to the art of breaking by his father and uncle at the young age of six. His love for the dance form flourished over the years, with the help of the late B-Boy legend Mex One. “MexOne was mentoring me for three months,” Victor says. “He made me believe in myself. He was the main person that really subconsciously put it in my head without me knowing. He really brought that side out of me. Even after his passing, I still use what he told me till this day."

Proud of his Mexican roots and Florida home, B-Boy Victor has achieved a lot but keeps striving for more. After winning his first Red Bull BC One World Championship in 2015 – a win Victor describes as his “most important,” he gave his winning belt to his dad – a pioneer in Mexico’s breaking scene. “I did it for my family. I had a lot of doubts in my mind. My dad was like, ‘I always wanted to be a champion. Come on, you got this.’ After winning it, he was so proud of me. He called me crying. He's like, ‘Man, I'm so proud’.”
