I went to the Flugtag in Nashville a few years ago and it was pretty exciting. They started it off by having two guys sky dive down onto the platform so that was awesome. Even though no records were broken it was still fun to watch.
I mean, thats how redbull makes actual money (yes they lose money producing the energy drink but the ads and sport stuff make more revenue to sustain the loss)
@@bigdoggetom6549 they do lose money bc they spend a hell lot in ads and stuff like the video, otherwise without the ads and this wacky sport they made to promote the drink they qould be nobody, just google how redbull makes money, well if you know what google is tho
@@bigdoggetom6549I don't know where you live but I get a 0.3 l can for 90 Cent when on sale anf 1.19€ normally, everything else from a big company starts at 1.30
It seems like a very effective weight saving technique. EDIT: It's called being ironic you imbeciles, I am very well aware that it's not "legal" both from the video and from the comment I am replying too, use your two remaining braincells to think, not to fight for the 3rd place.
@@nikpapado9785 not really as u get disqualified 😂. That’s like saying putting a jet engine on it is a very effective way to make it go faster, well yaaaa but… 😂
Yes it's, obviously from the context of the video and the comment I am replying too, but that doesn't mean it's not a very effective weight saving technique, lighten up, not everyone on the internet is serious, especially under a video of this kind@@fatguyonalittlebike3336 @user-co6ww2cm9k
as far as i remember that rule was only instated after riderless crafts were starting to show up since it was against the spirit of the rules but not the letter of them.
@@Saoirse_LlewellynThat's bs. Everyone else might as well have just made paper aeroplanes. They wouldn't have gotten 5ft if it had to carry the weight of a person.
Nah they did it on purpose, and because red bull knows that this is a sport for fun and engineering they actually call it a fake world record, because technicalities are genius!
The real truth is, the time it takes gets far shorter when you bring a machine into the mix. Don't lie, you all know you love the ones that go BZZzzZzZzzz
@@drellioo bruh are you crazy or what? Woody was the one who said it before. Buzz repeated the same line at the end of the movie when they were flying using the fireworks
We had this 40 years ago on television in The Netherlands, it was called “Ter land, ter zee en in de lucht” (On earth, on the sea and in the air). This part, there were many, was called “Vlieg er eens uit” (sorry I don’t know the translation), but they flew many contraptions of the ramp. Real enjoyment to watch.
"The format was originally invented in Selsey, a small seaside town in the south of England under the name "Birdman Rally" in 1971. The first Red Bull Flugtag competition was held in 1992 in Vienna, Austria. It was such a success that it has been held every year since and in over 35 cities all over the world."
This is nothing original, we have had Dutch show with the same for years. It's practically a copy of that, and I'm fairly sure our show wasn't the original either
It’s cool to see the different strategies. Like some tried to dive low at the start and ride that momentum. While others tried to stick high and keep slow for max distance
