WHAT IS RED BULL SCHLITTENTAG?
Schlittentag is the German word for “sledding day”. Put simply, it translates as “daredevils willing to propel themselves down a snow-covered hill and over a jump on a sled they built themselves”.
This will be the most winter fun you’ve had sitting down. Three person teams will stretch their imagination to build the wildest, fastest sled this side of the Alps. One will be the pilot and the two others will help give their sled the push it needs to win the race and the fame and fortune that follows.
Rules: Teams will consist of 3 people and may have 1-3 people riding the sled down, however, one person must be designated as “pilot”.
No prefabricated sleds
No engines or batteries or external energy sources
No launching from your craft (intentionally) or launching any items from it
No throwing anything while coming down the hill
No fire
No pyro (firecrackers/torches/etc)
No use of power tools on site during build out
No smoke of any kind - especially using dry ice
Drivers must be at least 18 yrs old
Craft has to make it down the course to be considered in the competition
Helmets must be worn by all 3 teammates during launch
