Red Bull Events From Soapbox Racing to Crashed Ice
Recently I’ve been seeing TV commercials advertising an upcoming Red Bull Soapbox Race here in Atlanta, GA.
I’ve known about Red Bull Air Racing for quite some time, although it is rather disappointing that my TV channels no longer air the air races. But Red Bull Soapbox Races with a wide (and wacky) variety of cars and competitors? Now that has entertainment written all over it.
Check out some of the action from previous Red Bull Soapbox Races!

You name it, and it looks like Red Bull will probably find a way to sponsor it.
While I’m not really a fan of the freestyle stuff where people pull off tricks and get scored, some of it still looked pretty cool. The air racing is awesome, Crashed Ice looks like a blast, and the Soapbox Racing and Flugtag are always a hit with the crowds.
So with this variety of wacky and thrilling sporting events, why doesn’t Red Bull have its own weekly television show on one of the major networks? Imagine them taking a concept like the classic Wide World of Sports TV show taken to the next level.
In the meantime, at least there are plenty of YouTube videos to keep us entertained for now.
