Red Bull Terminal Takeover Release Team Edits and Open Voting for 2023 Competition

Last month, the 303 Boards skate team traveled to New Orleans to skate and film in an airport-terminal-turned-epic-skate-park, an event called Red Bull Terminal Takeover. The team had their skate park dreams come true as they filmed throughout the terminal on a course that seemed straight out of a video game. Now, their final edit is being put to a public vote until Friday, June 2nd against 9 other teams from around the country and a chance to win $5,000 to a local charity of their choice. You can watch 303 Boards’ edit here.

Back in April, a record 10 teams of skaters from all over the country took over the abandoned terminal at Louis Armstrong Airport for the third iteration of Red Bull Terminal Takeover. The teams took turns hitting every feature imaginable in the old terminal while filming their sessions. After countless hours and edits, the teams have posted their video clips and the fan vote is open now through Friday, June 2.

Teams from New Orleans, Birmingham, Nashville, Pensacola, Tupelo, Philadelphia, Houston, Tarpon Springs, Denver, and defending champs Baton Rouge will compete for votes over the next two weeks. The winning crew will receive a $5,000 prize that they can put toward a local organization of their choice.

Star Wars And The Power of Costume Exhibit At The Denver Arts Museum Impresses In Many Ways

The Force is wide awake in Denver and will be until April 2, 2017. The Denver Art Museum is currently playing host to amazing exhibit Star Wars and The Power of Costume. The exhibition will give DAM visitors a look behind the scenes into the fantasy, marvel and delight of bringing characters in the Star Wars universe to life through a dramatic presentation of original costumes. Star Wars and the Power of Costume will closely examine the captivating process of costume conception and design for iconic outfits, from Princess Leia’s unforgettable bikini to Darth Vader’s imposing black uniform, featured in all seven films of the Star Wars series. We had a chance to check out the exhibit during press day earlier this week and were captivated by the extraordinary detail and craftsmanship each and every costume goes through. From the conceptual sketches to the costumes being brought to life. 

“The creative process behind crafting the world of Star Wars is part of a pop-culture phenomenon that we are thrilled to bring to the Rocky Mountain region,” said Christoph Heinrich, Frederick and Jan Mayer Director of the DAM. “A vivid exhibition display and behind-the-scenes look will delight creatives, designers and die- hard fans alike.”

The challenges and triumphs of bringing characters and their believable worlds to life will be revealed through thematic exhibition sections, including Jedi vs. Sith and the Galactic Senate.

More than 60 hand-crafted costumes from all seven blockbuster Star Wars films will uncover the connection between character and costume. Star Wars and the Power of Costume also will explore the imagination and artistry of the world’s most recognized cinematic costumes, taking a closer look at the iconic villain Darth Vader, Wookiee Chewbacca, X-Wing pilots and DroidsTM, including C-3PO and R2-D2.

“So many of us have warm memories and a fascination associated with the Star Wars films, and it’s really the characters that maintain this longstanding connection,” said Stefania Van Dyke, interpretive specialist at the DAM. “Characters like Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker have become inseparably associated with their costumes, and our unique presentation will give a look at the inspiration and nuanced creative processes of designers and artisans.”

Visitors will be able to tap into fantasy, quality craftsmanship and character development through immersive experiences that include powerful Star Wars royalty, military and senate imagery, as well as behind-the-scenes videos and testimonials from artists, designers and actors.

Star Wars and the Power of Costume will be on view in the Anschutz and Martin and McCormick galleries on level two of the Hamilton Building. Individual tickets for this specially ticketed exhibition will go on sale on May 4, 2016. Tickets for groups of 10 or more are available now by emailing groupsales@denvertmuseum.org or calling 720-913-0088. The museum is now taking reservations for private gallery rentals and events, including holiday parties. Spaces book early, call for rates and more information.
