it's not much different from f1 actually (in terms of getting into it) .. you need money to get started, experience and talent to become 'good at it' and then more money (read: millions) to get competitive on the top levels. Not to mention to have to be suuuuuper fit.

I done a bit of proper aerobatics in different airplanes over the years but nothing comes close to these guys. Even our fighter pilots do not get as much experience pulling that kind of G, because they only fly 100 hours a year give or take, and aren't always pulling G. These RedBull guys fly 100 hours a month and everything they do involves pulling G!

^ pulling 'G's sound so sexual.

holy crap = = these pilots are f*ing hardcore ...

I've seen this on TV sometimes, and when it's on, it just blows my mind how they can manuver.

i was watching this on tv last week, its crazy, they go sooo fast.

Man these guys are going really fast! i wish i can fly a plane like that haha.

First crash in Red Bull history.
That is crazy how fast the ERT was at the scene and in the water..

i watched a few of these events late at night.

pretty awesome stuff, the judges have like eyes like a hawk man

they can point out mistakes SO fast.

would like to try

^ you'd probably die in about 5s. ;)

I don't know what is tougher, the chicane or the quattro.

Everytime I watch these events this is the progression of feelings I get:

Curious

Amazed

Fucking amazed

Jealous

Bummed at the path my life has taken, meaing I'll never be able to do anything this cool

Drunk

these guys could of landed that plane that crashed couple days ago

Heres another feat with redbull pilots:

A fighter jet couldn't turn tight enough to maneouver through those courses. They also fly way too fast. Those planes are specially built for "stunt" flying. The G limits of Canadian F18's is around 7.33G, those guys are pulling 10G+. An F18 would overstress and come apart if it tried to pull that, pretty crazy.

The chicane would be my guess... They are most likely pulling almost the same G's as the Quattro but they gotta set up to go through the gate while doing that.. I'm not sure if they are G limited for the chicane either.. I know with the quattro they are limited to 12 g's.. some pilots get disqualified for going over :eek2:

You only live once :)

Holy shit.. Plane stalls... pilot manages to keep the plane flat as it hits the water... lands in water for a second and he takes off again..

imo F1 is harder to get into

i'm sure alot of Pilots who are not involved in this could jump into one of these planes and at least place in the standings

put a Nascar or Indy car driver in an F1 car and they cant even make it a couple laps competitively

just insane
