Red Bull Schlitten-who!?!??0
Posted In Cinematography
Just got word that I’m filming the upcoming Red Bull Schlittentag event at Alpine Meadows in Lake Tahoe, CA on March 13. What in the world is “Schlittentag”? Good question because I was thinking the same thing..
Schlittentag is the German word for “sledding day”. Put simply, it translates as “daredevils willing to propel themselves down a snow-covered hill and over a jump on a sled they built themselves”. This will be the most winter fun you’ve had sitting down. Three person teams will stretch their imagination to build the wildest, fastest sled this side of the Alps. One will be the pilot and the two others will help give their sled the push it needs to win the race and the fame and fortune that follows.
Sounds like a good time and a good opportunity to get some carnage on film. Time to get the GoPro HERO cam ready!
In the meantime here’s a video from Red Bull’s 2008 Snow Warz
