Red Bull – Stratos

Posted on February 9, 2012 by hydle

“The mission, Red Bull Stratos, will take renowned athlete Felix Baumgartner to at least 120,000 feet above the earth, to the very edge of Space.

From there, he will attempt a stratospheric free fall jump – the longest in the history of man – and hopefully will become the first human to break the speed of sound with his own body.

This is a mission to overcome limits which have existed for almost fifty years, ever since the heroic achievement of the young US Air Force test pilot, Joe Kittinger, with his 1960 Excelsior mission.

Red Bull Stratos will attempt to make history and deliver valuable learnings for medical and scientific advancement that will aid the exploration of space in future years.”

Red Bull – Ping Pong

Mark Huebner, Phil Coan and I played Ping Pong against professionals today. How fitting it would be for Red Bull to totally hoax the NBA basketball season with this small bit with Blake Griffin.

This is comical - could have been better... but just professionally cheesy enough to make it fun to watch.

In our professional match against Eric from France... Mark and I tied.

He lost 3-11 and then 2-11 for a total of 5 scored points.
I lost 0-11 and 5-11 for a total of 5 scored points.

Next Tuesday at SHASH! at EXDO we will do [BETTER <— 9,787,065 views]

Red Bull – Formula 1 Returns to America

Posted on August 28, 2011 by hydle

Red Bull invited Tom Cruise to take a spin in a Red Bull F1 car at Willow Springs race track in southern California recently, so he took a break from post-production work on the latest Mission: Impossible film to take advantage of the unique opportunity. After an impressive turn behind the wheel, Cruise jumped into the Red Bull aerobatic helicopter with ace pilot Chuck Aaron for a few more thrills. The Red Bull F1 car has been appearing in the U.S. recently to mark the stateside return of Formula 1 racing in 2012 at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

Formula 1 Grand Prix Racing will return to the united states next year with a stop in Austin, TX.
Red Bull just used Tom Cruise to advertise this.
If you never got the memo… helicopters can do corkscrews and loops.
All thanks to Red Bull.

Red Bull – Art of Flight – New Teaser

New teaser and local tour dates released for Red Bulls life changer of snowboard films – The Art of Flight due to be released this September.

Comparing this teaser to the first What Planet the Fuck are You From? rollout – I would have to say I enjoy the first teaser by 1000% yes. But kudos to Red Bull and Brain Farm for revealing more footage in this completely different yet still awe inspiring teaser. However the music completely sucks and it’s ad driven… pathetic.

Local dates:

September 27th – Ellie Caulkins Opera House – Denver
September 28th – Boulder Theater – Boulder
October 1st – Wheeler Opera House – Aspen

I can’t speak too crazy about the video – but it’s good to know about a new place to play in Panama.

Did Red Bull Just Make Rollerblading Cool?

I can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but apparently if you remove the inside wheels of your rollerblades – rollerblading is attempting to be cool again. A quick “Rollerblading” YouTube search reveals that since about 2008, this sport has gone “Aggressive”.

Ridiculous.

Brain Farm and Red Bull kill it again with Travis Rice and The Art of Flight Movie Trailer. There are at least 8 “Holy Shit” elements in the first half of this teaser… I don’t even know what to say — Guess we’ll just have to wait to see the full film.

Genius.

Whenever you get an opportunity to see Jim Hancock – and not his shadow… you know it is going to be a good day.

Here we have the 2010 Race of Champions in Düsseldorf where Sebastian Vettel uses his RB6 Formula 1 Red Bull car to create a series of wall art. I will personally ask Jim where these are going to be auctioned off this year and inform.
