Red Bull’s “Rube Goldberg” Athlete Machine

Posted by Dana on November 12, 2012 in Funny, Staff Interests | Leave a comment

Out of all the all the Rube Goldberg Machine I have seen this is by far one of the most entertaining. Red bull “Klug” (meaning ”clever”) combines world-class athletes and seemingly complex machinery to performs a simple task, that just might make you thirsty. Despite that fact this is just another one of Red Bull’s clever (or “klug”) marketing ploys, design to go viral. It  is still worth spending the next few min watching. Enjoy!

 

Super Sonic Freefall -The Red Bull Stratos Project

Posted by Georgantic on October 6, 2012 in General, Staff Interests, Video | Leave a comment

Felix Baumgartener is pretty much a crazy Austrian with a death wish and a butt load of money behind him. Now I know that breaking the sound barrier with your own body sounds cool… and free falling back to Earth from 120,000 ft or 23 miles, sounds even more bad ass… But, what is it all for? I mean there is a pretty good chance the guy could freaking die! Live on the web!? That is where my brain kicks in and just says “Dude don’t over think it, it’s freaking rad, just got with it.” So since I occasionally listen to what my brain has to say, I’m going to tune in on October 8th to http://redbullstratos.com/ and watch this crazy person make history live and hope that he survives this insane freefall back into Earth. -”As no one has successfully jumped from this height before, it’s uncertain what the highest supersonic freefall in history will look or feel like”- RedBull Stratos.

Flugtag- German for Flying Day

Posted by kater on July 27, 2010 in General | 1 Comment

Thirty seven of the Midwest’s best hand made aircraft took flight this Saturday at Red Bull’s Flugtag, and St. Paul knows how to go down in the history books. Team Major Trouble and The Dirty Dixies set not just a national record, but a world record distance of 207 ft.

You would think that an event like this could get boring really fast. I mean really a bunch of people run off a big dock, but Red Bull knows how to throw a party and they made the fun last long after the event was over. They reported that more than 90,000 people showed up for their flying day, and to keep them entertained each of the competing groups had to put on a little skit before they pushed their hard work into the Mississippi.

Team Griswald

Team Griswald

All of the groups were incredibly creative down to what they were attempting to fly, the names they chose and the show they put on for the crowd. Some of my personal favorites that stand out in my head were The Acme Rockets, with their road runner and coyote outfits, Team Griswold, who got their National Lampoons Vacation station wagon detailed down to the luggage and the Platypi Pushers, who’s platypus fell apart before it even had a chance to try and fly, but they were determined to send it off into the water no matter what.

The day was a total success and it was a load of fun. I’m looking forward to catching it next year, no matter what city it is being held in.

Red Bull's Flugtag is this Saturday

Posted by Allie on July 22, 2010 in General | Leave a comment

This is one of the events I have been waiting for all summer long. Red Bull’s Flugtag is this Saturday July 24, 2010 at Harriet Island. Gates open up at 11am with the first flight at 1pm.  This is a free event to the public.  If you are like many of us out there that are unable to attend Flugtag you can be there in spirit at least. 87.9 FM station will be broadcasting Flugtag live. Also, there will be food and beverage vendors out there.  It’s a cash only event so make sure you bring plenty money to spend, but if you forget there will be ATM’s available. For more information you can check out the On-Site Info.

Here is a little seek peek of what you will see!!!

Robbie Madison is unreal

Posted by kater on April 12, 2010 in General | Leave a comment

Most of you will probably know Robbie Madison from his 2008 New Year’s Eve jump up and down the Rio All-Suite Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas.


Or if you missed that one maybe you might recognize his back flip over the Tower Bridge in London he threw down in 2009.


Now Robbie thought it would be a good idea to jump the 279-foot-wide Corinth Canal in Greece. The man is insane, but that’s why we love him.

Shaun's very own halfpipe

Posted by kater on October 22, 2009 in Snowboarding | 2 Comments

Shaun
So I’m sure you have heard by now that Shaun White got his very own halfpipe built for him by Red Bull last season. Yeah, this pipe was sick and incredible and built purely out of natural avalanche snow, and they documented the whole thing so you could see at http://shaunwhite.com/projectx. I suppose when you’re the best at what you do things like that just kinda happen for ya.

Supposedly they are saying that Shaun was able to throw down some pretty sick stuff out there. He spent 34 hours spread over two months in this pipe working on new tricks that no body has ever done before. They said he put together a run that included a Frontside 720, Cab Double Cork, Frontside Double Cork and a Cab 1080. They aren’t telling us a whole lot about any other tricks he was working on, but they are going to shed a little light on November 3rd. So be sure to swing by the site to see what the ‘Flying Tomato’ (stupidest nickname ever) has in store for us.
