Red Bull Wake of Fame - Fort Lauderdale, FL

Sporting events are usually pretty similar, but whenever Red Bull takes over things usually take an out of the box thought process in building.  They once again didn't let down with a pretty unique wakeboarding and wakeskating event taking place at night at an Olympic training pool complex.  A cable runs the entire length of the pool whipping riders into their runs down to one end and then back. You probably missed it!
