 Clements now knows what it's going to be like to be bald, and apparently it required constant sun screen applications |
 Mmmm. REALLY hot donuts |
 I overheard a bystander saying that Barak was the most convincing as a cop. Ha. |
 I like the 2nd Fun Fact |
 There was quite the crowd gathering in front of the officers |
 This was our view from the Red Bull "cool person" area |
 Red Bull provided us with plenty of food and beverages in the "cool person" area |
 These guys won, and I'm pretty sure I heard they spent like eight-grand on their craft. They went 109ft., while the world record is 130ft. |
 There were a couple boats there |
 The hang-glider technique was a popular one, but not always the most effective |
 All day I saw people over at Harbor Island fanning themselves. Maybe the people that live over there go out in the sun too much |
 It's kind of hard to see, but a lot of teams made their crafts with 2x4's. Have you ever been hit or fallen on a 2x4 from 25ft. up in the air? |
 Man, hanging out in that nasty water is insane! |
 UT had a clever Spartan design and skit |
 All right, a little fun fact about this water: Years ago when I tried to get a diver to dive for boards for this art show I was doing, I was quoted $3000 for the dive. They claimed that due to the water's toxicity levels the diver would need a full body suit |
 Wait, I think this is the one that was eight-grand. It blew smoke and raised its pilot up in the air...then it broke and they had to all carry it...haha |
 The Derby Darlins won the text vote and the "Most Pollutants in the Bay" award |
 Stripping was a big part of a lot of skits |
 It looked a little hot to be wearing black uniforms |
 Hi guys - L to R: Angel, Barak, Body, Jorge, and Clem |
 The customary interview with Vin Diesel and some semi-hot chick that ran out of things interesting to say three crafts into it |
 Part of the skit was Angel ollieing over the pig (Body - how appropriate) that's frying on the ground |
 An Angel attempts flight |
 Killer tattoos for your viewing pleasure. On a side note, I'd like to thank Sarah from Red Bull for all the accomodations and making sure I had the right credential for free beverages |
 Some kid that was spilling everyone's beer |
 My girl...real or fake, what was the final word? |
 Sarah in work mode |
 Psyched to be done |
