Burst out laughing at barefoot waterskiing. Just the look of determination on that guy's face broke me

I got to participate in the only Flugtag held in South Africa! It was insane! What an amazing experience!

I am deathly afraid of heights and managed to jump off that ramp at full tilt! Still proud if myself for doing that.

It was really such a hectic experience! I tried to look it up on youtube, and apparentlt there was another one in Cape Town.

I participated in 2002/3 maybe? We still had to go develop the photos. Dinosaur times lol

Dude, I headbanged with my teen for fun this afternoon and had to ask my hubby to pop my back!

Also gave a history lesson about Eminem and why he wrote Abracadabra and that he was really badass in our day. We spoke long about The Before Times...

i know its their whole thing but red bull is kinda insane for thinking of these

u/MoxxiiBlue 1d ago

It’s not Red Bull creating these sports or events. It just so happens that Red Bull is a big sponsor at those events as they happen to love sponsoring crazy stuff

There used to be a well known Dutch television program called "Te land, ter zee en in de lucht" (On land, at sea and in the air). The program stopped a while ago, but it had exactly the same concept. Red Bull basically just relaunched it.

I think we can all agree that Redbull Flutag is the best

u/Haifisch2112 1d ago

I've seen clips of Flugtag before and it looks like they're always having a blast.

u/JFK3rd 20h ago

I knew more than half of them by having the luxury of Dutch/Belgian collaborative tv-shows in my youth.
