Red Bull Crashed Ice Sebastien Larose
If you aren't a skilled enough skater and crazy enough to participate in one of the Red Bull Crashed Ice adventure races that are literally carved into major cities, you can still enjoy the rush watching them. Every winter, Red Bull runs several races on venues set up in major cities around the world.

These races takes place on ice-tracks that not only snake through urban environments, but also include a series of high-speed hairpin turns, big-air jumps, drop-offs, and gaps. Consecutive heats narrowed the field down to the top 16 men qualifiers and the final four in the women's division. In addition to cash prizes, winners get unlimited bragging rights.
