Tampa Red Bull Flugtag 2008

Seated in the media area (right next to the judges) at the Tampa Convention center, you will see a glimpse of what flutag had to offer this year.

over 60,000 people came!
Just about every contraption plummeted after leaving the 30 foot launch ramp!

Every team is required to do a "Skit" before the take a dive.

Enjoy.

The anime convention was going on at the same time at the same place!

(I had a little camera, so I couldn't capture everything, sorry about the low quality part.)

God we crashed and burned sooooo bad

Our team felt absolutely horrible that we crashed a burned like that. We worked so hard on that float. I can't believe we almost front-flipped a hang glider

Well, at least it was a brutal crash that everyone enjoyed, and I got to pull a SICK gainer to flying squirrel off the flight deck, even though it cost us our post flight interview

[SolarMoth]

Awesome! I thought that one was going to fly too.

Even though your "Flying Machine" didn't go very far, it's still all good fun.
