Red Bull’s Flugtag takes flight in Austin, Texas this Saturday. Leading up to the event, Terralever updated the Flugtag Game to include the Austin skyline. At this weekend’s event “The Interactive Landing Zone,” a hub for all things interactive, will feature:

If you’re in Nashville on Saturday (23rd of June) stop by—it’s free! Directions and entry information is on the Flugtag USA site, on the page for the Nashville event.
The team has also updated the wildly popular Flugtag Game. It now features:
If you have previously installed the game on your MySpace page, it will be updated automatically to the new version. If you haven’t put it on your MySpace page, but are curious how to do so, just go to the game page—there is a button to install it right below the game.

If you haven’t here’s some information about Flugtag from the site:
1991 - The First Flugtag
The first Red Bull Flugtag took place in Vienna, Austria, in 1991. Since then, more than 35 Flugtags have been held around the world — from Ireland to San Francisco — attracting up to 300,000 spectators. The record for the farthest flight-to-date currently stands at 195 feet set in 2000 at Flugtag Austria. The U.S. record stands at 78 feet set in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2004.Teams are judged on three criteria: distance, creativity and showmanship. What constitutes a craft is purely up to the imagination of the participating teams. Past Red Bull Flugtag entries have included a pregnant cow, a diaper-delivering stork, a pimped-out Cadillac, a giant Oompa Loompa, and yes folks — a lobster named Larry.
As far as the game goes, it is Flash-based, and when inserted onto a MySpace page, that individual posting of the game has its own high score tracking for that MySpace page.
Disclaimer: The game was created by Terralever (my employer) in conjunction with The Barbarian Group out of New York.
