The Poojer Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 it was more that MLB put the kibosh on it. They adapted and overcame though. That team put trashbags over their contraption to 'hide' the phanatic stuff...they changed their name to Philly Censored or something to that effect. It was a pretty good time. We stayed on the Penns Landing side of the river and watched it from big screens. There were tons of people both on our side and on the camden side. funny thing was that it was a breezy day and the wind delayed some of the 'flights'....trust me aerodynamics isn't an issue in these events...its all about gravity. it was a lot of fun seeing this in person. and hell, its free...can't beat that.

Nanker Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I'm going to try to make it next year. Looks like fun. Yes, it was more windy yesterday than when Hurricane Earl when wizzing by on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) I was there yesterday with 4 other people. We were on the Camden side and took a cab over the BF Bridge. It was a pretty big shiiteshow. The first couple were fun, but then it became pretty redundant and every competitor seemed to do the same exact thing, which was just push a manmade object into the Delaware River. The Red Bull Soap Box Race they had in Manayunk 2 years ago was way better. Even though it was pouring, the innovation factor was better, and the possibility to see someone do some real damage to themselves was higher. We had fun though. Met some really cool people and you couldn't ask for a better day weather wise. If they do it again next year, I'm viewing it from the Ben Franklin Bridge. Seems to be the most optimal place to see it. Edited September 5, 2010 by Touchdown Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
