Hey FP. I've been here a while now and I don't usually ask for such huge favours, but I'll give you the DL: Red Bull currently have a "Can You Make It" competition going, and I'd love it if you guys would vote for us. Or if you don't like our video then vote for the other's I guess? I'm happy to share our quest on here when the event happens (and if we get in) and hell, I could probably find a way to get Facepunch onto Red Bull's Instagram... maybe. Here's some information on the competition: If selected, Red Bull fly every team out to 1 of 5 random locations in Europe, your wallets, phones and anything else you might use to cheat are taken from you. You're then given 7 days and 24 cans of Red Bull to try and make it to a checkpoint. Each checkpoint you're given a refresh of cans, and you're sent back on your way. They major catch is the only way you can travel, eat, sleep and so on is by using the cans as currency. Bartering using the cans to get anything you need. From a warm meal and a train ticket, to bungee jumping off a bridge or anything else you can think of. Here's our video: [video]https://youtu.be/JLm6FPBItnQ[/video] And you can vote for us here: [url]https://www.redbullcanyoumakeit.com/en/applications/5538/[/url] I know the mods don't usually allow this stuff but I want to make this thread more than just a "vote for pedro" campaign. As I said before I'll update you guys along the way with everything, and blog our progress. :fp::dogcited::fp:
That's actually a really good video, though. I liked those cans for percussion.
Done.
Done. Good luck lads!
Oh shit I didn't see these responses, I thought we'd floated off to the second page. Thanks for the likes guys. We're just under 300 at the minute, the sad thing is we're 100 off overtaking the team above us. I'm going to pour some salt on this thread for a second, and question why [URL="https://youtu.be/CcFQlN4iSHk"]this[/URL] got in, or is even allowed.
That was awesome. Voted.
Such a good video. Lame that you have to have a facebook to vote, though.

If you don't win, you should totally do more of these.
[QUOTE=Xonax;49762775]If you don't win, you should totally do more of these.[/QUOTE] The two friends I'm doing this with actually run the channel this was uploaded to, they have some stuff on it you can check out. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67dPrG3pCbA[/media]
[quote]At the end of the voting period, the top 37 entries with the most votes from United Kingdom will be eligible for final team selection. A panel of judges will then select 10 teams from these 37 highest-voted entries from United Kingdom to participate in Red Bull Can You Make It?[/quote] Just re-read this with our team, turns out we're in the running to be selected at the end, we're currently 14th in the United Kingdom category! This took a huge amount of pressure off of us. Thanks for everyone that voted - we still appreciate more though.
We hit 400, thank you to everyone that voted. Next Thursday is when the voting ends, so expect the results around that time. Fingers crossed.

Bear doesn't eat Bacon? 0/10 I voted. Best of luck!
This is wonderful. I thought you guys were gonna do a "Bear Grylls drinks piss reference" about Bear tho. Sick raps, best of luck, voted for you guys. Godspeed!
So??? Did you guys make it?
[QUOTE=J$ Psychotic;49802455]So??? Did you guys make it?[/QUOTE] We're currently finalists for the voting phase. And expect results a week on Monday.

We spoke with a Red Bull Representative today and alongside receiving a complimentary pack of Red Bull we got our starting location! We begin in Berlin on the 11th of April, and over the course of the week have to make our way to various checkpoints; hopefully ending up in Paris by the 19th! Thank you everyone who voted.
Wow, this seems like an awesome opportunity, free travel and shit. Good luck!
