Red Bull, known worldwide for celebrating all things extreme, has again gone viralviral. For their latest masterpiece, they again mix the concept of a Rube Goldberg machine with more than a few dashes of daredevil athleticism.
After high winds delayed the event last week, Daredevil Felix Baumgartner has finally made history over the weekend performing a record breaking jump from space.
The 43 year old Austrian teamed up with Red Bull Stratos to accomplish the incredible 128,100 feet jump from the stratosphere that also helped him pass the speed of sound. The skydiving pro reached a high speed of 833mph during his four minute free fall.
Red Bull is famous–be it in real life or online–for obsessing and celebrating all things ‘extreme.’ So when they decided to take on the popular online past time of Rube Goldberg Machine making, they knew they had to do something different to stick out from the saturated crowd.
Lucky for them, they knew a couple athletic freerunners who interested in the project, like Jason Paul, to star in this ‘Human-Powered Freerunning Machine‘ video that has gone viralviral.
Red Bull, the sponsor of all things extreme, just went viral with their latest free riding motorcycle video in Rio de Janeiro. French moto trial athlete and biker Julien Dupont took to the narrow alleyways and high walls of the Brazilian town, and showed a much different view of the city than people are used to.
