A group of participants takes on their first Red Bull Soapbox event with a custom-built craft. Despite concerns over a lack of brakes, steering issues, and overheating in their wetsuits, the team successfully completes the run without wiping out, though the vehicle suffered some mechanical damage by the end.
I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm

Rough this will take your skin off real night. So our Mac good thing
We got a few millimeters of wetsuit, which is that was designed for and good thing. It's getting 95 degrees today
You're gonna catch this our craft doesn't turn
All of our motor sports background
That's our thumbnail
No, it has to be on our craft. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah good thing Ralph's is here. Yeah, we have markers
300 feet. Oh
My gosh, we got this we got this
We're gonna clear that circle I talked about oh, you know what like we got a little nerve
Maybe we'll use the brakes and as we've gotten closer to the event
We've just decided brakes are not gonna be used and have to get more excited. I'm pretty sure we're gonna max
Well, the mantra is now if we die we die
Yeah, we're willing
Here's our
You got it
Tail
That's so favorite one
Okay, based off what we've seen everyone's
Yeah
Everyone the most common thing is everyone's going to know right? Yeah, I thought we heard the whole way
No break, so I heard one guy say he put a Red Bull between it. So it's impossible to use. Really?
Yeah, he's like I can't use it even if I want it
And we're the last up so
First time
Yeah, we're gonna put Red Bull in there
We got the sickos in the house inspecting. I thought it could mousetrap, but it can't no it can rip off though
We got we got it secured by a one zip tie
Looking a little weak, man
Laughs I thought you guys were first Nathan
Zip tie should hold everything together
What are you gonna do Nathan?
Okay, we did it and we survived that's crazy somehow in one piece no wipeouts
It went way better than we thought the craft went fast. I you surfed the entire way
I had to grab rail backside a little bit, but we made the jump things were breaking
I think but we didn't they kept moving I could feel something start dragging after the last. Yeah, I think that's high
That's what it was
And then
Yeah, and also the steering it turned right but it did not turn left that last one
I had to turn all the way and sort of lean I was like, oh man
Yeah, and it was like did not help we were both in like five mils and it's a hundred degrees
So we were just like oh my god vision by time. We started. I know I was kind of like
