"On October 12, Red Bull Soaring Squirrel will be held for the first time ever over the unforgiving Salt Flats of Utah. This extreme event highlights omnivorous young daredevils from Red Bull's stable of athletes being dropped out of an airplane at 10,000 feet while wearing only Red Bull-style singlets and Zori brand flip-flops. Lift, if any, will be provided by standard Ping-Pong paddles, of which each contestant will be issued two. Of similar events being promoted, this one is the better, experts say. Judges will watch.

"On October 19, Red Bull's Helicopter Boxing Team takes to the skies for the Red Bull Punch, Climb and Kill Challenge. Teams of fanatical pugilists will dangle from razor-sharp tethers attached to Black Hawk choppers hovering over Ankar Wat. In what is widely regarded as the premier event of its kind, polytheistic contestants will compete to score points by knocking out their opponents, ascending the other team's tether and terminating with extreme prejudice the opposing extreme pilot. Judges and emergency medical technicians will assess the results on a first-come, first-served basis.

"On October 25, Colorado's Go Fast Sports and Beverage Company is willing to present the Go Fast Nunchakus Gauntlet. Staged at the foot of the remains of giant Buddha carvings in rural Afghanistan, this event, which aficionados claim is the apex of the energy-drink nunchakus tour, spotlights the most piquant of Go Fast's remaining athletes. Each sponsored participant will run through a narrow human passage while being beaten with Chinese combat fighting sticks. Wearing Go Fast's new line of ŒGauntlet Gear,' athletes will be evaluated based on foot speed and plasma retention.

"The final weekend of the month features the Red Bull Submersible Shark Dare. Showcasing the obsidian waters of Gdansk, on October 26, Red Bull's athletes will be pitted against each other and nature's most garrulous competitors. Our ebullient energy-drink-sponsored middle-schoolers, wearing little but their nose plugs and Red Bull loincloths, are hauled behind an aging Soviet nuclear submarine into a school of sharks while holding a recently executed goat. Judges will be looking for contestants to maintain homeostasis.

"Kick off November with Go Fast's first-of-its-kind event -- the post-Royal Gorge Bridge Extreme Interment! Watch as the country's sickest daredevils gather for a soaring-but-somber sendoff for one of their own, in a bucolic setting dotted with some of the area's most awesome headstones. They'll wear 'wing suits' designed to mimic the aerodynamic properties of a flying squirrel, which thirty-year-old Australian Dwain Weston donned last month when he executed a nearly perfect parachute freefall over the Royal Gorge Bridge. Phat pallbearers, stoked by Go Fast energy drink and clothed in Go Fast's very recently released Last Rites line of extreme formalwear, will help propel Weston to his final BASE jump. Our all-in-black judges will be looking for mourners to exhibit the tiniest degree of sanity.
"Go Fast provides a slight pick-me-up while bearing no legal responsibility for the actions of its consumers. Tune in for next month's Go Fast Sports' Ex-Games."
