Air Racing
I’m not a big fan of Flash-based websites. Not at all. I think that too often Flash is used to make a site look cool, but when it comes down to it the site disappoints because there’s no solid content or information. But, this afternoon I was looking for some air race information and found the Red Bull Air Race site. Amazing. I’m not sure if those air race guys are good pilots, crazy pilots or just plain crazy, but the flying they do is amazing.
The Red Bull site is exactly what Flash should be used for. You can watch a race take place and you can choose the camera angle to watch from. Want to know what the pilot is thinking? No problem, just turn on the commentary. It’s like a DVD but all within your browser. Very slick.
