The RedBull FlugTag is being held this Saturday, Oct 21st, in Balitmore, MD.
I will def be there w/ a bunch of friends - if you're in the area, it's something to do on a saturday afternoon. I will be there, excessively enjoying my spirited libations, with the added entertainment of watching people hurl themselves off a 25'-high pier into the inner harbor...
I hope you join. |

nope
It's teams that attempt to make a manned flying (gliding) device that they launch off of a 25 foot platform (over water). Teams are scored on distance travelled by their "flying machine" and on a two-minute performance piece before the launch. Some take it seriously... some get dressed up like Mary Poppins and jump off the ramp holding umbrellas in their hands...
Me... I'll be getting wasted watching these idiots hurl themselves into the rancid water of Baltimore inner harbor :haha:
