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 82 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] His family moved to the United States when he was six years old.[11] He was raised in Richmond, California[12] and was introduced to breaking in 1995 when he was 12 years old.[11] in the small Northbay city in the Town of Windsor, Ca. 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.[11]

RoxRite appeared in a documentary about breaking called Turn It Loose (2010)[11] 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] He is a member of four b-boy crews: Renegades, Squadron, Break Disciples, and Red Bull BC One All-Stars.[14][15]
