www.youtube.com A Pylon is a Protoss structure needed to warp in most Protoss buildings. Protoss structures and units draw their energy from a great psionic energy matrix that emanates from their home world. While a Nexus provides a link to this matrix, Pylons are needed to actually tap into the energy required to provide psionic energy to new colonies. Each Pylon generates a short-ranged aura of energy, which can provide the power needed by structures. If a Protoss building loses its ...

London. The race with lots of pylon crashes. Everyone thought it's gonna be a 'walk in the park', given the straight race track. But everything turned out differently!

The other pilots had difficulties with the track and the heavy winds and sliced lots of pylons. Bad for them, good for Chambliss. And hey, without these pylon crashes this video wouldn't exist. www ...

Hannes Arch (2nd) after his major pylon hit in the Red Bull Air Race Rotterdam 2008 final: "I was just pushing too hard, you don't win if you don't push. It was just a little too much and I took too direct a line. I tried to fly the most direct line, the fastest possible line to win against Paul (Paul Bonhomme: "dead straight line"). We did nearly equal times in the semi finals and I'd expected Paul to go even faster in finals. So I had to risk it. It didn't work out but I tried it. That's ...
