As I mentioned yesterday, I went to the Red Bull Soapbox Derby in Vancouver to see Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles of Supernatural compete against each other in a celebrity race for charity. Jared won the race, as you can see in the video above, although Jensen almost decided to ram into him! After the race was over, I had a couple of minutes to interview the guys:
Arieanna: Was this your first soapbox derby?
Jensen: First soapbox derby. Yeah.
Jared: Yeah.
How do you think you did?
Jensen: Well, he obviously did a lot better…
Jared: I wanna go again!
Jensen: Yeah, I’d like to do it again. Maybe get some more muscle on my team.
Jared: No brakes whatsoever.
So, I’d like to ask you a couple of Vancouver questions. First off, where’s your favorite place to eat in Vancouver?
Jared: Ohhhh
Jensen: Favorite place to eat?
Jared: Steakhouse! Last night we went to Morton’s.
Jensen: Morton’s!
Jared: We go to Morton’s and Gotham lots.
Jensen: Yeah.
Jared: Two Texas boys gotta have their steak [cute smirk]
Do you hike a lot around Vancouver?
Jensen: Not a whole lot. We work a little too much, so our downtime is pretty much spent recuperating and learning our lines and stuff like that.
Jared: I’ve done Grouse a few times. I took my dogs to UBC and kinda run around…
What’s your time going up Grouse?
Jared: Oh, like 55 or something.
That’s pretty good!
Jared: I thought I was going to die! I did it in 55, and people were passing me up! Like “Hey, there! First time today?” And I was like, “Uh, yeah, only time.”
So, if you don’t hike much, what’s your favorite outdoor activity around here?
Jared: It’s nice to jog around here! I mean, UBC grounds and just around the blocks. It’s a really pretty city. [points] It’s gorgeous today. I used to do the seawall a lot when i lived downtown. So I think doing the seawall jog is kinda awesome.
Jensen: Stanley Park’s always nice.
And that was it! A quick little interview as Jared & Jensen came off their soapbox derby race in Vancouver! b5media’s SFUniverse writer Cynthia just interviewed the guys at ComicCon about the upcoming season of Supernatural. Click to read her interviews with Jared & Jensen.

Nice little piece! Jared’s quite the chatterer, isn’t he? Too much Red Bull, maybe?
And I agree with Jensen, from the video it seemed that his push off team didn’t have the same ‘oomph’ as Jared’s. Rematch!
