Red Bull gives you thiiings!

March 10, 2009

…well they do if you are a top athlete!

Red Bull, with some assistance from Oakley, has just built a secret half-pipe on the backside of Silverton Mountain in Colorado for snowboarder Shaun White’s training purposes. The area can only be accessed by snowmobile or helicopter and is said to be closed off to the public. The price tag was $500,000, and it looks like it was worth every penny.

I love what Red Bull are doing here. Really creating something aspirational for boarders. Well done.
