Red Bull - Wingers
Last fall I got a chance to follow the Red Bull Wingers around town for a few days and shoot them at the MN Thunder home opener game against the LA Galaxy. The night before the game we all went to a private party held in David Beckham’s honor hosted in part by Metro Magazine. If you don’t know David Beckham then you don’t know soccer…. He’s the arguably the most famous soccer player in the world and signed one of the biggest contracts in MLS history. Oh, and some people say he’s got a hot wife… who also happens to be famous…
But, whatever, back to the Wingers - The boys made the rounds at a number of local bars to put on a show of their tricks - you could say they are like the Harlem Globetrotters of soccer. During the game they performed for the half-time show. These guys were lots of fun and we all had a good time meeting some new ladies in town…. right guys….
Here is a little video clip one of the guys uploaded to youtube from his phone before the game… do you see me? And Beckham.
