Just about everyone gets their 5 minutes of fame, and while going through some old files on the computer I found some pictures and videos of mine that I decided to share.
In 2003 I founded the team "Bevo Burger" at the Redbull Flugtag contest in Austin TX.
We built a 15' tall, 25' long replica of the University of Texas' mascot, Bevo, de-horned it, and rode it off of a 30' tall runway into Austin's Town Lake in front of a crown of 40,000+ booing people throwing beer bottles and the like at us. It was an incredible experience I made multiple local TV and radio appearances and interviews, and clips were shown on Good Morning America and Sports Center.
I will try and post a better video later with interviews, clips, and the whole "flight" if anyone wants it, but there is a brief clip at about 16 seconds in embeded in this video:

So everyone share your moment in the spotlight, pictures and video a must!
