Soul Mavericks qualify after winning only four battles in a row as there were not enough events ahead of the final to compete in. Soul Mavericks are current national b-boy champions. Following their wins at Jump Off Prototype Crew also later went on to win the hip hop crew battles at SDK 2012.

The Jump Off street dance battles are recognised as being the nesting ground where dance crews such as Diversity, Flawless, Boy Blue Entertainment, Plague and Animaineax battled individually and as crews before they found commercial fame on stage, in competitions and on television.

Jump Off street dance battles formerly took place at Astoria, London, before the venue closed down for demolition in 2009. While their live events, which included battles and showcases for models, dance crews, unsigned artists, comedians, producers, MCs and booty shakers, was put on hiatus, the brand continued as an international online urban video website, JumpOff.tv
