Red Bull Soapbox Race

The first ever Canadian Red Bull Soapbox race was held in Vancouver on Sept 7th and the turnout was incredible. People lined both sides of the street and filled rooftops, balconies and every other imaginable space to get a glimpse of the daring racers speed down 4th Avenue to either their victory or demise. The weather could not have been better. The event was MC'd by local radio host Kid Carson from The Beat 94.5 and television host of Urban Rush, Fiona Forbes. Races were held between two teams for each race and they each had to do a 30 second skit to earn points from the judges. Here are some shots from the day.
