This race obstacle could only have come from Aditotoro and Paul Frege

Aditotoro: It was great that creators were brought into the planning stage of an event like this, which is new. It was a cool change to talk directly to the people who build the obstacles, rather than just getting to an event and making content from what is already there. And it was really cool to meet the other creators from around the world.

Paul Frege: We really loved how open-minded the engineers were. They really tried to take in our thoughts. When we had different opinions, we just talked it out, with us explaining why we wanted it like this from the entertainment perspective, while they were looking at it from the technical perspective, and in the end we came together really well.

Aditotoro: Paul and I do sports content that’s more on the entertainment side. So we decided to create an obstacle which is entertaining. There are a lot of obstacles that will be somewhat technical, where you need certain skills, but we wanted to make our part of the racecourse a little bit more funny.

Paul Frege: Our approach was to use the same fun, entertaining effects we create in our videos: it’s a lot about sports, but it’s not always about succeeding. It’s about the experience. It’s OK to look funny while you’re trying, it’s OK to fall down.

Aditotoro: I think this is what Red Bull Ibiza Royale is about. People will be trying to get the best time, but it’s not like they are pros who have been training for years. It’s more like they want to have fun.

Paul Frege: Adi and I are part of the obstacle ourselves, and there are three stages. First, you must cross over a thick pipe or log, or you can take a wobbling bridge, which might seem like a safer bet. But either way, one of us will shoot balls at you with a ball cannon. The wobbly bridge is closer to us, so you have a better chance of being hit by balls; where if you take the log, you're not as likely to get hit by balls, but there’s more of a risk of putting a foot wrong.

Then you arrive at the second stage, where we’re going to ask you a silly, general-knowledge quiz question – but you have just three seconds to answer. If you get it right, proceed. If not… there’s a penalty that may or may not be slime.

In the third stage, you have to jump over a small gap into one of three doors. Two of the doors are locked, so you’ll bounce down into a foam pit. Just one of the doors opens so you can go straight through, which will save a lot of time. And you have no idea which is which.

Aditotoro: So the obstacle is a mixture of a bit of skill, a bit of knowledge, but also a lot of luck. If someone manages to do all three things correctly, it’ll be insane, and we will hype them up and shoot off confetti cannons.

Paul Frege: And we’re going to be live-streaming on Twitch!

Paul Frege: I vacation there at least twice a year. I really love the people, the vibe, the great nature.

Aditotoro: I’ve never been there, but it’s amazing that an event like this is happening in Ibiza. I’ve heard that the old town where the race is happening is beautiful. It’s nice because a lot of people know about Ibiza, they want to go there, the weather is good and it’s going to be good vibes.
