The Kitsilano Soapbox Derby gets underway this year on Sunday September 7th at 1pm with pits open at 11am. The race runs from Vine to Burrard and features the best of the best in their greenest of gravity machines. Pictured here is our own Premiere Gordon Campbell who did not require a license to take part in this event.
Ah, the soapbox derby. Hilarity and calamity guaranteed, especially since Red Bull is now the sponsor.
So grab some old skateboards, discarded wood, fibreglass, tin cans, maybe the kitchen sink and some duct tape and get to work on your own racer. As Red Bull says: Fast is good, Outrageous is even better!
