Going downhill in skates sure gets the adrenaline pumping.

Looked like fun!

 

[Wyndru]

That looks like serious injuries waiting to happen. I love how they have random half-walls jutting out into the track. It reminds me of a video game.

 

[OutHouse]

damn that should be an olypmpic sport.

 

[destrekor]

I had never heard of this sport before.

I don't know how I missed it, but now I'm pissed.


New season is starting up at Niagara Falls this weekend.

Now, to figure out how to watch it live, or hell, even a full replay. The live streaming will be geoblocked in the US.

One of those things I never think about, but when I randomly stumble upon it on TSN, I can't tear myself away from it. Crazy stuff.

I was there! It was awesome!

 

[kag]

Yeah, it's awesome. I used to live in Quebec City, I went a few times.

One of the reason rest of Canada think Quebecois are crazy

What a terrible name for an event. I watched the video, waiting to see how a red bull crashed ice into a flag parade. :|

Well, the title of the OP is one thing - but it's not really a name of the event.

The "flag parade" was part of the final round of the season, the championship round. However, I'm not sure if they do that every race, if it's just part of the championship round, or if it's a one-off thing they did.

Red Bull Crashed Ice is the name of the sport series (Ice Cross Downhill World Championship).
