Shootouts: Time Trials for individuals
Crashed Ice Photo Essay
RedBull has created a truly thrilling sporting event with “Crashed Ice“. Serious ice skating, rough ice, hairline turn, steep slopes, crowds and historic buildings, what more could you ask for!
For the first time ever, it’s in the US, and no other than St. Paul, MN- the perfect way to start off our Winter Carnival season!
The Track:
I’m not sure of the length of the track, but I am sure that I would not want to be on it.
Jumps, Steep Slopes, Sharp turns, Hairline Steep Turns on the side of buildings and so much more…

My favorite part of the set up though was the cameras. They had them on pulleys and wires, with weights and remote controls as well as standard methods to track the skater from start to finish- amazing.
Camera and system operated on a remote control, to rotate the camera to follow the skater
