all i ever heard when i said i was going to the redbull air race was “are you serious? you want to see some stupid plane fly around?” or “its going to be cramped, you’re going to get burnt and you probably wont get to see any thing anyway” actually, come to think of it only my manager said that when she tried to convince me that the race would be a waste of my life and why don’t i work instead? well, you know what…it was awsome! the planes were great the atmosphere was incredible and the crowd was tremendous. we left like like nearly 3 hours before the race and it was already really packed. we ended up standing any way but we were still really close to the action.
apart from the slutty chick who was sitting in front of me that was practicaly wearing underwear, and the guy next to me who’s beard was making my mouth itchy just from looking at it and not to mention the european guys talking in a different languages behind me (probably about me, i swear they were making fun out of me) the crowd around me wasn’t that bad.there was a lovley display of familys and couples and al those nice things we aussies are stereotyped for (mateship ect.) there was no-one having sex, no-one excess drinking, no riots or anything. just families havn picnics with other families and playing a game of cricket or frisbee here and there and just out to have a good time.
i had a great time, seeing the planes and reading about the pilots. the race was great and i’d definetly go again (if they have it here again). well done to the pilots and the organisers and civillians who put their rubbish in the bin. i didn’t see that much rubbish at all!
