@embrace the suck 21 here's a little info about the International Birdman.. The International Birdman is a series of two English competitions held in the West Sussex towns of Bognor Regis and Worthing. The competition which involves human 'birdmen' attempting to fly off the end of a pier into the sea for prize money. The event began in 1971 and has always been held on piers in West Sussex, on the south coast of England. It is the oldest Birdman Rally in the world. We really hope you do a reaction vid to it.
Bog snorkeling, shin kicking, gurning or wife carrying are all good old school sports. Gurning is one you would never guess what it is if you have never heard of it.
It’s a shame that this is only one persons view from about halfway down the hill… I need to find some bits of footage that has the starting dance routine contest, and some of the other obstacles on the way. I’ll have a look once I finish watching this video. Because you guys are hilarious
Red Bull Soapbox races have been held in Texas and other places in America. The teams get points for design and performance as well as speed. Sadly all the performance bits were missing from this video. Kepp up the good work.
Scoring for the Red Bull Soapbox race is in three parts, marks are awarded for the design of the carts, the teams do a 30 second performance at the start line and then there are marks for the actual time to get down the course.
The Goodwood Festival Of Speed Hill Climb is a great one to watch. Kind of the opposite of this in that it's very fast and technically advanced vehicles going up hill quickly, rather than technically basic vehicles going downhill relatively slowly!
Also, for a similar kind of "people having disasters for our entertainment" kind of vibe, check out Takeshi's Castle. It's a Japanese gameshow that started (I think) in the 70's and ran until the early 00's (may still be on today for all I know) but there's also a version which has commentary by Craig Charles who is British so there's kind of a British link to it in that way as well.
I have watched this a few times, they do it in US cities as well so you may not have to travel as far as you first thought to have a go.. They go all over the World with this
Funny how you link this with the TT when TT legend Guy Martin holds the world record for the fastest gravity racer which is a hi-tech soapbox car basically. He reached something like 80+mph
Well done finding the Red Bull Soap Box Race. It is an excellent opportunity for folk to attempt to do a 'Jackass' event. Love the themes, the whole theatre antics prior to launch. Such a laugh, that is also stomach churning, as you watch them lose essential parts going down the course.
Decades a go our office used to take part in a ‘raft race’ on a local river. Such fun So funny watching them desperately get far as they could while slowly sinking or breaking apart🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@carolmillins9199 It was a local charity fund raiser arranged by Solent Lions. One was on the River Itchen and another on the River Test. Rowdy picnics on the river banks and soggy people ending up in local pubs😂🍻🍻
Soapbox derby used to be massive in the US in the 70s, but it was taken very seriously and lost favour due to high profile controversy and scandal regarding cheating, I'm sure there's a documentary here on the tube about it.
The Soap Box Derby is a youth soapbox car racing program which has been run in the United States since 1933. I know in 2015 redbull had their race in ohio.
These soapbox races organised/sponsored by red bull have been held in LA + other US cities, Rio De Janeiro, Buenos Aires and many other cities across Europe too.
They are all built far to well, they used to be far more crashes We used to something similar down our local river ( excessive beer had to be drunk ) it was carnage
There's a show in the Netherlands called 'Ter land, ter zee en in de lucht' (at land, at sea and in the air) that's been going on since the 70's. It goes from people jumping from a high platform in self build 'flying objects' to badtub races. It's worth taking a look.
I could be wrong but I think Red Bull have soap box races around the world so I'd imagine there's one somewhere not too far from you guys. I just looked and Cincinnati and Atlanta seem to be the nearest ones to you guys. I'm surprised that New York hasn't had one, but I guess there aren't too many steep enough hills there for it to work. When everything is back to normal I'd love to see you guys do this, that would be epic!!!
Red bull soap box race is done around most of the world so there may be a Usa version. You might want to check out Red bull Flug tag which is with people trying to fly in homemade airplanes with no engines and also Red bull X fighters which are moto cross High flying stunts.
Love the channel Lads, I would love you to do a reaction to the Kaiser Chiefs a English indie rock band from Leeds, - Everyday I love you Less and Less or I predict a Riot and of course Ruby, keep it going Lads.
Come to York lad. All the history of the UK in one small city. Plus we have these races every summer down our biggest cobbled Street! Come visit, we'd love to have you.

It's basically a fancy dress soap box derby with added jumps.....it also a world tour they have had tracks in America too. It would be cool if you entered for the channel. If so what theme would you be?
hey guys - this sort of soapbox race is fairly common around the uk. i've got some great footage of the Cromer, Norfolk race from a couple of years ago. i'll work out how to send over to you somehow.
The soapbox race is a global thing, they do them in US as well. The soapbox race from Netherlands is the best, you’ll be thoroughly entertained watching it
They do the same race in many countries including the USA. Your vehicle could be a motorbike and sidecar like in the Isle of man TT. Good luck with that one guys. 🏴👍
Anything with a way to move we in the UK will race it! But redbull soap box is world wide if you search it they do it everywhere and the track varies with, different obstacles and gradient of track
Probably more to do with health and safety the organizers nowadays probably give them a look over to check they are safe before letting them participate.
There are way more Red bull things. I have no idea what its called in english but there is one with makeshift flying contraptions. Red bull airtag in german.
I know i'm a year late looking at this content but surely your vehicle would be a wheelbarrow base and , i know Spencer is a guitarist but, a drum kit inside for comedic effect and a gorilla outfit to match the Phil Colins/gorilla UK Dairymilk advertisment :D
Cool video! Please please please react to “the Ricky Gervais show” sooo funny! An idiot abroad is great but this is better, Karl makes me laugh so much 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Take a look at the World's Custard Pie throwing competition, held at Coxheath Kent. Videos on TH-cam and Google. Go every year, oh the characters you meet there 🤣 The cross dressing grannies are one of my favourite teams.
Lads, you seem to like diving into british content, please check out the below: 1 Movie -Dead Man's shoes - a revenge slasher/horror, British film making at its ridiculous best (thank me later) 2 TV show - Red Dwarf - spoof sci-fi comedy show, very British but I think you'll like (start with S1) 3 Sport - watch some rugby league, not rugby Union, it's like your so called football but high paced and no protection 4 Music - as oasis fans I think you would like the libertines, a bit more art house but punky and raw with it
Kia ora dude's under pain of death you need to check out THE CITY NEWTON BOMBERS live at GALATOS song to check out is looking pretty good for the new year .. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
You now need to look at the Bognor Regis and Worthing bird man competitions, people trying to fly off the pier!
The best of British ingenuity!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I’ve been to one of these it’s bloody hilarious

@@sueflynn9886it originated in Belgium genius
There are soapbox races in the US too! You guys should definitely get a team together!
You should check out the international birdman competition, more crazy UK silliness
Yes do birdman!!!!!!
The red bull goes all around the world so your uk silliness not relevant..
Bog snorkeling, shin kicking, gurning or wife carrying are all good old school sports. Gurning is one you would never guess what it is if you have never heard of it.
I did bog snorkelling. In Wales. At least I can say I competed in a world championship
Knowing your love for British unusual sports, I think you should look at theWorld Gurning Championships. You never know you may be able to enter. :-)
Yes this is the silliest UK sport I know
It’s a shame that this is only one persons view from about halfway down the hill… I need to find some bits of footage that has the starting dance routine contest, and some of the other obstacles on the way. I’ll have a look once I finish watching this video. Because you guys are hilarious
This is actually how we test British engineering!!
I'm guessing you think this is a British invention

@@JD-eo7dr or the guy who pushed the contestants in the water when they fell short on Slipway 😂
Yes good wood festival of speed please watch its brilliant old cars racing and hill climbs please.
I have watched this a few times, they do it in US cities as well so you may not have to travel as far as you first thought to have a go.. They go all over the World with this
Face it guy's,----Nascar will never be the same after watching this !!

Did you ever hear Dueling Banjos being played before you set off?
Had missed this one! Thanks YT recommended!
Brilliant stuff and so much soul put into these carts!
I would pay GOOD MONEY to watch you guys in this!!! 😂😂😂
Soapbox derby used to be massive in the US in the 70s, but it was taken very seriously and lost favour due to high profile controversy and scandal regarding cheating, I'm sure there's a documentary here on the tube about it.
Yeah Theres documentary film it's rather good watching how insanely competitive it became
Then Redbull Came in & Said
Screw That Professional & Seriousness Junk
LETS GO WACKY & HILARIOUS
I still think the jumping off the pier and trying to fly are still the best.
The Soap Box Derby is a youth soapbox car racing program which has been run in the United States since 1933. I know in 2015 redbull had their race in ohio.
You guys should checkout the royal navy field gun competition from back in the day 👌
These soapbox races organised/sponsored by red bull have been held in LA + other US cities, Rio De Janeiro, Buenos Aires and many other cities across Europe too.
You need to see the Lewes Bonfire Night.
Thats a mad night
Do the cheese rolling first, then the wheelchairs will come!
They have have done it already
@@marccoote9106 I think the OP mean they should participate in the cheese rolling not just watch the video.
@@marccoote9106 I meant, actually do the cheese rolling,geat horribly injured and then claim the free wheelchair.
@@arsemcscratch6908 they are american. the wheel chair would probably cost them 100k
Lots of kids had bogeys when I was young (long time ago) we had one called bluebird. Bogey is either the old word or northern word for soapbox.
It's like wacky races in real life
They are all built far to well, they used to be far more crashes
We used to something similar down our local river ( excessive beer had to be drunk ) it was carnage
The smoking plane is based on the red arrows a British stunt flying team.and the red bull soap box races go round the world I watched loads on TV .
There's a show in the Netherlands called 'Ter land, ter zee en in de lucht' (at land, at sea and in the air) that's been going on since the 70's. It goes from people jumping from a high platform in self build 'flying objects' to badtub races. It's worth taking a look.
U guys gotta do this. You would love it. Think it's in London but probably have races all over the world.😁
Also check out The Purple Helmets Motorcycle Display Team from the TT week on the Isle of Man.
You should also do a good one from Red Bull Flugtag competition!
The crowd goes wild ha ha
You guys should do a reaction to Jinjer ( Pisces)
The New Zealand one has some sharp corners in it.. that's pretty gnarly

The hill at "Allie Pallie" (Alexandra Palace) is steeper than it looks. I used to live close to it.
Love the channel Lads, I would love you to do a reaction to the Kaiser Chiefs a English indie rock band from Leeds, - Everyday I love you Less and Less or I predict a Riot and of course Ruby, keep it going Lads.

Old video I know, but you should check out Rory and Paddy's Great British Adventure. The travel around the UK trying various traditional weird sports.
imagine chasing the cheese down Coopoers Hill in one of them, the "shitcart" would be epic
The red bull soap box race is global and you guys should build a ren & stimpy soapbox racer.✌🏾
They do the same race in many countries including the USA. Your vehicle could be a motorbike and sidecar like in the Isle of man TT. Good luck with that one guys. 🏴👍
9:41 ...its an arcade machine, space invaders i think
Hillbilly Barrbie car downhill racing , you have this in the US ,most entertaining.
Rhod Gilbert - Luggage on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow is worth a look.

Did you guys react to the Atherstone ball game?? That's mental
Nettle Eating Championships or Bog Snorkeling
I could have watched an hour of this
Ppl are making their soap boxes far to good these days. There was a time when literally half of them fall to pieces
Probably more to do with health and safety the organizers nowadays probably give them a look over to check they are safe before letting them participate.
You should watch soap box crashes 👌🏻👍🏻
Try Florentine Football, the kit is rennaisance costume and full on fighting is all legal, there is a ball but it seems like an afterthought 😎
You need to watch the Red Bull Flugtag London.
te land ter zee en in de lucht
it´s a dutch tv show from the 90s, super fun
Come to the UK and do it, take in a football game and the TT races while your over
There are way more Red bull things. I have no idea what its called in english but there is one with makeshift flying contraptions. Red bull airtag in german.

You guys should check out Ogmios school of zen motoring
