Red Bull USA - Sports & Entertainment News | Teams & Athletes

We've always known that America's Cup World Series racing isn't for the faint of heart, but this new teaser shows the sailing at a whole new level.

Catamarans careen over the water mere yards from each other -- sometimes flying over each other. It's pretty nuts, especially at 2:16.

The sailing series returns to San Francisco in a couple of weeks, from October 3-7, during Fleet Week, no less. Check out the America's Cup website for more details.
