Balloon Festival and YouTube Update

Yeah pretty beastly.

I have a whole 4 part video on just one of the events there. It was a motorcycle show, and let me tell you guys. These motorcyclists used those motorcycles as if they were little toy bikes. They had perfect controll over the machine and it was just awe inspiring.

One of their best demonstrations of their controll was when they got one of the volunteers out and put them in front of the track. They would charge at her at full speed and when they touched her shoes they would stop or turn.

There was also a competition that I couldn't record because my iPod ran out of batteries. It was a target competition where from hot air balloons the contestants would have to drop a marker as close as possible to the X. Korea lost to Japan sadly. But on the good note, Korea got runner up. Anyways, the rule is, you can go as low as you want with out touching the ground to drop your marker. Japan got pretty dang close to the ground that it looked like it was gliding on the ground.

Some of the contestants I thought were retarded or something. Because they would go about 200 feet off target before they'd drop their marker. Some would not even get CLOSE to where they were supposed to drop their markers. Some even started sailing into the city, which I thought was hilarious. Out of the 100 contestants, I think only 24 got on to the target field. Out of the 24 that got on the target field, I think that only 7 got moderately close (1 from America got really close, 1 from Korea and Japan got the bull's eye).

The most hilarious team probably was the Australians. They had an advertisement on their hot air balloon and they were on the field and it seemed like they purposely turned into the crowd and dropped their marker into the crowd. I thought it was hilarious.
