You know those red bull commercials where people try to make human powered contraptions that might fly?? and they push them off this huge ramp over water?? hahahah

Looks like there's going to be one in Tampa bay on July 19, 2008. I heard it's crazy fun to watch, and the crowd is full of drunk people and hot chicks! haha what's not to like?

anybody ever seen one of these things? I might have to make a road trip!

I went to this in Sanfran several years ago. Good times! I am going to try and get my compan y to build a flying machine.

how do we enter jon?

 

my friends and i are thinkin about gettin a hang glider and entering.
if we dont im def goin to watch though

 

We need to do a FGC aircraft to enter.

 

^that would be cool

 

you have to fill out an application, it's on their website.

Rules:

A total of up to 5 people can be on a team (4 pushers and 1 pilot). Only the pilot may be in the craft at time of launch and must be 18 years of age or older. Have no fear, those younger may participate as team member! Remember, all crafts must be entirely human powered - no catapults, slingshots, or stored energy. Applications will be judged on criteria similar to event day.

 

^good idea just use woady's car and slap some wings on the side..

 

haha that sounds like alot of fun

 

Sounds like it would be fun, if you make something, I'll help and be one of the pushers.

 

im serious whose got a hang glider or know of one we can borrow. if you want to win thats how to do it

 

I went to the one in Miami a couple years ago
