I’ve been seeing the ads for [this](http://www.redbullflugtagusa.com/TampaBay2008) on TV and it looks fun, but the BF and I aren’t usually the outdoor sport watching types or the getting up early on the day off types, not to mention I hate driving to and around Tampa so I don’t know if we’ll actually make it there. But I was curious if anyone has ever been to one of these and if anyone’s planning on going or participating.

I’m not, but it does look fun. I wish it were going to be televised somewhere.

Bumping my thread for the heck of it.  
It’s looking even less likely that we will go to this because I have been fighting off sinus crud all week and probably won’t feel up to it.

I am guessing that they will at least be filming this and eventually post the highlights online so maybe we will get to watch some of it.

I’ve been contemplating going. Sounds like it will be fun. Now I just have to drag myself out of bed early enough to actually get there.
