Russell is a lovely town just down the road from Bill and Toni's place. Each July they hold a Birdman contest off the local dock.
What amazes me about these things is how very few of the contestants really try to fly. how difficult can it be? Just fit a gyrocopter onto a bike and away you go. the guy who tried to take off backwards was the only one trying and he nearly made it. His wings filled with air and he nearly caught a big gust which would have lifted him, however, he overbalanced and didn't quite take off.
