We attended the Red Bull Flugtag.
What's a flugtag, you say? Well, have you ever seen ads on TV for Red Bull where people dress up in crazy outfits and push a homemade rig of some sort off the end of a pier to see if it will fly? Yep, that is a flugtag.
Not only were they graded on the distance of their flight but they were judged for their creativity of design, their outfits, and their pre-jump dance. And let me tell you, they were pretty darn creative! There was Team Ramirez. Their vehicle was a baseball cap and the crew all had uniforms on. The hat even had long 'hair' like Manny Ramirez.
Our favorite was Team Chuck Norris. Their dance was a choreographed fight scene where Chuck opened a can of whoop ass on all of them. Hilarious!
There were teams of Easter Peeps and people in colorful body suits and guys wearing diapers!
After the event, we grabbed a bite to eat and walked around the waterfront in an effort to let the traffic clear out. There were tons of people in attendance. This is just one small section!
Long Beach has a beautiful waterfront area. But if you ever vacation here, don't hang around too long after dark. If the news is correct, they have a lot of crime! And as with any event, there is always cleanup afterward.
