And in HD... I have been waiting for this for a very long time.

I still never full understand exactly how redbull has SOO much money it can sponsor everything... I mean how much of that crack juice can people really drink?

Its through sponsoring everything that they are so successful! Subtle marketing everywhere within extreme sports seemingly leads to huge brand loyalty. And less face it, its nearly 95% profit everytime they sell a can!

Lift off aborted due to unfavourable winds - parp!  The meteorological types are saying Thursday now looks to be the next best day.

Old Felix must have a special pair of pants for the record attempt, to streamline those massive gonads he must have.

Good luck and enjoy the ride.

Expect Travis Pastrana will also try this soon in just a pair of shorts, holding a can of RedBull like he did in Nitro Circus.

You must have been wired to the moon mate.
I drank a can of that monster stuff on a trip from Edinburgh to birmingham, started drinking it at Gretna next thing I new I was just past Manchester with the stereo on full blast.
