Today was the first annual Vancouver Red Bull Soapbox
Race and I was sent by the
Ubyssey newspaper to take some shots of the event. The clear skies and the heat prompted thousands of Vancouverites to swarm 4th Avenue in their beach attire, taking advantage of the last remnants of summer. It was a day for inventiveness and imagination, as 50 teams of soapbox racers displayed their creations on the pit lane, and then raced them downhill on a course with some fun obstacles.
Star Wars?
Batman
Team Steam
BC's Premier Gordon Campbell.
Here is the online
slideshow! . Thanks to the Ubyssey's Photo Editor
Goh Iromoto for making it possible!
Funny fact: the painfully 80s band
Whitesnake participated with their own soapbox and finished in third place!
