It’s a bird, it’s a plane... Nope. It’s the Red Bull flugtag. Come
Sunday and almost everyone in Bangalore is going to be looking up - not
at the sky but at the range of crafts that will attempt to defy gravity
and soar over Sankey Tank in a bid to emerge as India’s first Flugtag
champions.
Organised by Red Bull, Flugtag, for those who don’t know yet, is German for ‘flying day’ and started in Vienna, Austria, in 1992. With over 100 such events in their kitty, Red Bull decided to come to India and choose none other than the adventure capital of Bangalore to host the event for the very first time in the nation of inventions.
The ‘airshow’ will have homemade, human-powered crafts designed by four-member teams launching off a 22-foot high flight deck, in the hope of soaring into the distance, with only clear blue water to catch their inevitable fall. With themes like the Stone Age inspired pterodactyl, a flying Ganesha, Superman's underpants and other ingenious models ready to soar accompanied by an array of eccentric costumes, this is one adventure thrill you don’t want to miss.
To add to the madness, India's premier comedy collective - Tanmay Bhat, Rohan Joshi, Gursimran Khamba and Ashish Shakya of All India Bakchod will be the hosts while Nikhil Chinapa, Rannvijay Singha, Monica Dogra, Ashwini Ponnappa and Varun Aaron will judge the event.
