Wild Thing…I think I love you
It’s over! The Wild Sushi was dunked into, devoured by and digested through False Creek on Saturday.
The Red Bull Flugtag Vancouver experience was fantastic – I’ll post photos, videos and thoughts when I get a chance.

The Wild Sushi: Beginnings
The Wild Sushi aircraft and skit have undergone some changes since the beginning of this process.
Back in May 2006, when The Wild Sushi was given the green light by Red Bull to participate in Canada’s first Flugtag event, the concept of the aircraft was completely different to what it is today. The original plan was to have the chopsticks act as a lever and drop sushi into the water.

In July, the skit for Team Sushi Gone Wild took another incarnation:
