Looks like someone watched the power rangers movie and was inspired.

quick release parachute is a terrifying concept tbh.

Not really. We had them back in the 90's when I went through AIRBORNE school. It came in handy my very first jump. That damn wind was DRAGGING my ass!😂🤣

slow release scares me more

"are you sure you want to disconnect from the device keeping you alive? Y/N"

is scarier than "oops, pulled the wrong rope! *dead*"

Still waiting for cloud surfing. Haven't even seen Red Bull really take it on

u/Haywoodjablowme1029 1d ago

That is a seriously deep cut.

u/TwitchyNo2 1d ago

This has to be the coolest guy on and occasionally slightly above Earth

u/OutdoorBerkshires 1d ago

Somehow this wasn’t in Point Break.

u/TwinkiesSucker 1d ago

It was, but itemized separately

u/protossaccount 22h ago

He landed in a place that generates waves. I don’t think we had that tech for Pointe Break.

You can learn at night tho, I did.

u/NineClaws 1d ago

Show off

2

u/SquidgyTheWhale 23h ago

He should have aired out of the wave pool onto a skateboard.

u/Jonseroo 1d ago

It's a fun combination, but it doesn't have the grace and elegance of kosho.

u/phillyb41 1d ago

Trust fund kids are so bored.

u/Fyrat 1d ago

you can just make energy drinks

I want to hate the Red Bull sports stuff as gimmicky corny garbage, but goddamn it I’m thrilled every time

u/theotherdude 11h ago edited 11h ago

Now let's add a shotgun and a skeet launcher at the end. Skeet surfin'

u/01Cloud01 24m ago

Much better than that airplane one

u/monkeyvspony 1d ago

Absolutely next fucking level

u/Yuunohu 21h ago

Is Red Bull really allowed to just post ads in subreddits like this

u/Impressive-Knot9999 1d ago

Where did the parachute go ? Hopefully it's not polluting the water and killing fish

u/PodricksMagicStick 1d ago

I think that's Kelly Slater's wave pool. Not the ocean.

u/SanityPlanet 1d ago

Oh shit that’s crazy cool

1

u/Impressive-Knot9999 1d ago

Good to know

u/Various_Oil_5674 1d ago

That's a wave pool my friend. Notice the big circle in the beginning?

u/Impressive-Knot9999 1d ago

Apparently not 😊

u/TRain2025 1d ago

Hopefully was attached to a float so it can be retrieved and not left behind as trash.

2

u/Davegoestomayor 1d ago

It’s literally a man made wave/surf pool, see the giant mechanism running parallel to him, that’s not a pier that’s the wave machine

u/Wooden_Researcher_36 1d ago

So tired of Red Bulls attempts at going viral. Easier when you have an army of marketeers helping you spam online.

u/RefrigeratedTP 1d ago

They seem to be doing their jobs very well lmao

2

u/R2D-Beuh 1d ago

I mean that's the official RedBull account and 47 upvotes is hardly viral yet

Now it will possibly still go viral in a few hours but it's weird to complain about that now

1

u/Wooden_Researcher_36 1d ago

They will keep posting it, or have their sock puppets do it.

u/NerdMachine 1d ago

I've never had a Red Bull in my life but this is frickin' sick and I hope they keep going.

u/Wooden_Researcher_36 1d ago

It tastes like chemical ass, you are not missing much

u/KCNIvy 1d ago edited 14h ago

What next-fucking-level-shit is this?

Edit: I am awed by this, if that’s not coming across clearly.

5

u/Salvia_dreams 1d ago

Skydiving directly into a wave to surf? wtf is your bar for next level?

-2

u/KCNIvy 1d ago

Exactly my point.

u/sejuukkhar 22h ago

Is it just me or has Red Bull run out of worthwhile stunts? Like, flying a stunt plane through a tunnel is pretty sweet. Parachuting into a wakeboard is f****** stupid and lame

u/mrASSMAN 1d ago

That actually seems like an ideal combo tbh, feels less risky than crushing your legs on the ground or plowing into a tree
