Red Bull X Fighters: Giza Pyramids
Last week we went to see the Red Bull X fighters (motocross) compete alongside the Giza pyramids. I had always wanted to see the pyramids at night,and this opportunity came along to see them in the horizon line of a fascinating sporting event. We were able to see the sun set behind the pyramids, and then watch them light up again when the sun went down completely. So awesome.
I also had never been to a motocross event, it's a pretty fun sport to watch.
Our professor Rob somehow got a "media pass" (yellow wristband) which allowed him to be able to photograph right inside the action. We all thought this was bullshit since we wanted to get closer, so a handful of us approached the "media only" security men and made up fake newspapers that we "worked for." This was pretty fun. And it also helped that we had cameras around our necks.
