Omar "RoxRite" Delgado Macias (born April 6, 1982) is an award-winning competitive b-boy from San Diego, California. As of August 2013, he has won 91 titles[5] including the UK B-Boy Championships (2005),[6] R16 (2009),[7] Red Bull BC One (2011)[8][9] and Freestyle Session (2013).[10][note 1]
RoxRite was born in Guadalajara, Mexico[8] and raised in Windsor, California.[11] His family moved to the United States when he was six years old,[12] but he wasn't introduced to breaking until he was 12.[12] Although he was born in Mexico, RoxRite represents the U.S. in competition because the U.S. is where he was raised and where he learned breaking.[12]
RoxRite appeared in a documentary about breaking called Turn It Loose (2010)[12] and in two seasons of the Red Bull-produced online reality series Break'n Reality (2012 and 2014).[8][9] In 2013, he was on the selection committee for the B-Boy Scholarship Fund sponsored by TheBBoySpot.com.[13] In 2015, he co-directed an online series with b-boy Ali "Lilou" Ramdani called Crew Code.[14] He is a member of four b-boy crews: Renegades, Squadron, Break Disciples, and Red Bull BC One All-Stars.[15][16]
