Giant Rabbit vs Giant Fly Flying Machines

The last two weeks? Absolute madness. The best kind, of course. We’ve been busy crafting not one but two giant flying machines—a giant fly and a giant bunny rabbit—for Red Bull Rivals, a brand-new show from Tiger Aspect for T4.

The premise? Two ex-Hollyoaks actors going head-to-head across five jaw-dropping Red Bull challenges: cliff diving, motocross, freerunning, downhill mountain biking, and the legendary Flugtag in Marseille. Each challenge comes with a dedicated ‘guru’ to help them prepare. When Red Bull asked around for a Flugtag expert, there was only one name they were given—Tim Simpson from Plunge (yep, that’s us). After all, we did win London’s Red Bull Flugtag in 2003.

The Flying Machines

The show’s presenters, Matt and Darren, dreamt up the ideas, and we brought them to life—because if there’s one thing we love, it’s making wild ideas actually happen.

🔹 Fly School Musical – a giant fly that took centre stage in a high-flying performance.
🔹 Matt and His Magic Hat – a giant top hat that, with a touch of magic (and a lot of engineering), produced an oversized white rabbit right on the take-off ramp.

Our team carved the flying machines mainly from polystyrene, reinforced with a tough outer shell. The giant hat? That was made from Plastazote—because we don’t mess around when it comes to bringing bold ideas to life.

Did They Fly?

Ah, the million-dollar question! To find out if these masterpieces soared or splashed in Marseille, you’ll have to watch Red Bull Rivals on 4oD. Trust us—it’s worth it.

Who’s got the next big, bonkers flying machine idea? We’re all ears. 🚀🛩️🐇
