Kirby Chambliss Enters Into Partnership With GoPro!
During Spring Training, three-time All-Star third baseman Evan Longoria officially earned his wings by joining Kirby for an aerobatic ride over Tampa, Florida in Kirby’s two seat Edge 540. Longoria saw local landmarks, including his home field from high above the skyline. A video of his flight is available at www.redbullusa.com/EvanLongoria.
Longoria experienced snap rolls, upright spins, felt the airplane go end over end several times and nearly 100 miles per hour backwards. After cartwheeling end-over-end and living through it, Evan said, “I thought we were going down. It went black there for a second. I’m a bit light headed, but I didn’t throw up.”
One of baseball’s superstars, the 26-year old Longoria has energized the city of Tampa starting with a Rookie of the Year campaign in 2008 through last season’s fireworks when he hit a walk-off homerun in extra innings of the final game of the season to propel his team into the playoffs.
This marks Longoria’s first endeavor as a Red Bull athlete.

The Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona has always been interested in preserving history, but last Wednesday they were making history! The massive 25×45 foot paper airplane was dropped from a helicopter at “The Flying Crown Ranch”! The gigantic plane flew half a mile and reached 98mph!
All this started out as a dream! The Museum wanted to get kids interested in science and engineering, and what a great way, build a paper airplane! To see the delight in a child the first time they build and fly a paper airplane is nothing short of priceless!
