Time-lapse of Winning Barbie

The big finale of the Mithun Olympics at Pier 56 includes the much anticipated Barbie Ski Jump. Each nation must fashion a means by which Barbie can successfully slide down an 8′ ramp and launch into the air, preferably performing death-defying acrobatics. Nations are judged based on length of jump, acrobatic performance, and style overall. Sean Conner, our MA in mechanical engineering, creates a Barbie Ice Block and dons her in medical tape. We think we’ve got a good shot for the Gold.
