using red bull cans as currency

after i went around europe a week before the event to get b-roll and to make the first video in the series-- the actual event started on friday october 24..

SUMMARY OF EVENT: 150 teams of college students from all around europe tried to make their way to paris using only red bull cans as currency!

MY JOB (i effing love red bull): is to follow different teams that i run into and document their travels-- camera guy buck and i had a driver follow us cuz we had camera gear to haul around, and we had to edit at night so sometimes we would follow a team until 2 am and be sleeping in a train station and then pack up and be like see you guys later cuz we gotta get a hotel room and edit!! they understood though and its so fun traveling with them,

and after meeting teams and hearing a lot of their crazy stories i have to share some of my favorites:... one team said they were allowed to sleep in a hotel free but couldnt mess the beds so they slept around the bed on the floor! one guy traded red bull for a brand-new snowboard. one team wore chicken suits the ENTIRE time. one team got a gondola ride in venice a a carriage ride somewhere for red bull. one guy went skydiving with red bull, one team wore flipflops the whole time even though it snowed once, the girls team from hawaii went out partying in every country and found guys (between ages of 21-30) to take them out for steak dinners and to stay at his house or buy them a hotel for red bull haha they worked the girl angle. 3 teams met up one night and slept under a bridge and a homeless man came and gave them pizza! one team brought sleds (zitpher-bobs) the whole way and went down anything they could with them. some teams sold red bull and rented a car, a few even got plane tickets for red bull. one team made it from hungary to paris the first night of the race and then back-tracked to hit all the checkpoints and earn points!
