What's the secret sauce? One of the key ingredients in the Pushing Progression series is an outside POV on the sport. The art is in finding a personality that makes a viewer want push play AND who can also authentically speak to the sport and the progression. Throw in the (inevitable) budget considerations and you've got an interesting creative puzzle. And then there's Busta. That guy? Pure authenticity and perspective. Having him to help with the storytelling immediate upped our game

A Doc done different
"Whether it's DJs, MC's or breakdance battling it’s always the same thing. It’s the way you can get in the mind and evoke the emotion of the one you're competing with." - Busta Ryhmes. Pushing Progression: Breaking showcases the beats, breaks, and battles through the lens of the event that has come to define the art form: Red Bull BC One.
