6 Red Bull Athletes on Our “Hot” Watchlist
Danger is their middle name, they live for adrenaline-filled adventures, they travel the world to showcase their talents and they are not hard on the eyes either. Below are some male Red Bull athletes that make our heads turn:
Abdo Feghali Aka Dado
It’s all about the eyes! We fell in love with Dado as soon as we saw him taking celebrities on drifting turns on the popular TV show, “Driven”. Dado is a Lebanese rally driver and triple national champion who began his career in 1998. He broke the Guinness World Record for the longest drift and he supervises Red Bull Car Park Drift.
Jason Paul
He is funny, charming and will probably take you on a date on top of a skyscraper.
Born in 1991 in Frankfurt, Germany, Paul spends his time travelling the world, turning cities into playgrounds - a frontflip in Frankfurt, a Moon Kick in Moscow and a Tic Tac in Tokyo.
Daniel Ricciardo
Formula One’s fun-loving honey badger! His smile says it all, born on 1 July 1989 in Perth, Western Australia. This chap from down under started his career in the Red Bull Junior Team, and later got his F1 break when he became Toro Rosso's third driver for the 2011 season. Dan finished the 2016 World Championship in third overall for the second time in his career.
Now, wouldn’t you want to be in the passenger seat?
Blake Griffin
To start with, he’s tall, like… really tall.
Blake Griffin was born on 16 March 1989 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA and he sure is one hell of a slam-dunk.
Blake has showcased his outstanding talent on-and-off the court throughout his decorated career as a professional basketball player. From Rookie of the Year to perennial All-Star to TV personality, he's proven himself as a player to watch. In 2012, Griffin signed a five-year contract to play for the Clippers and he's earned All-Star status every year he's been in the NBA.
Orlando Duque
Motorsports, football or B.A.S.E. jumping, every discipline has its hero. For cliff diving, Orlando Duque is that man!
Duque was born on 11 September 1974 in Cali, Colombia. Yeah, we can hear the sexy accent already.
Orlando has won eleven world titles in total. A six times World Cup winner, three times World Champions WHDF champion, winner of the Barcelona FINA World Championships and champion of Red Bull Cliff Diving.
Julian Wilson
A surfer dude! Julian Wilson was born on 8 December 1988 in Queensland, Australia. Growing up in a family of surfers on the Sunshine Coast and, ever since he can remember, he's ridden waves, so it should come as no shock that he quickly scooped national titles in both longboarding and shortboarding. May we add that he’s also perfectly tanned.
