Fluuuugtaaaag!

This weekend Tyler and I had the privilege to go to St. Paul Minnesota and experience the Red Bull Flugtag, it was a blast! Tyler is the Red Bull Manager at General Distributing and works along side the actual Red Bull company so we were invited to go. Although it was a quick trip, it was all payed for and well worth it! St. Paul was so beautiful, and very very green!

If you don't know what the Flugtag is...people form a team and come up with some sort of flying device that they have to push off this 30 ft. platform into the water (in St. Paul it was the Mississippi River) to see who can fly/float the farthest. They also have to perform some sort of skit/dance before and are judged on that as well, it's free to enter and free to go watch! There were some pretty awesome and entertaining skits and air crafts! There were some professional judges, the Vikings linebacker, a professional snowmobiler (Red Bull athlete), and a professional Olympic skier (Red Bull athlete), etc. They estimated that there were 90,000 people there watching, it was packed! We were given VIP passes that sat us really close to the event on the water, so we were able to see everything great! The most exciting thing that happened was the Flugtag world record was broken, it hasn't been for 19 years. It was set at 195 feet, and the team that won this weekend reached 207 feet. Here are a few pics we snapped of the fun weekend get-away!
