Red Bull Crashed Ice

In "Red Bull Crashed Ice", skaters descend a steep ice canal filled with bumps, jumps, rollers and obstacles four-at-a-time, jostling for position as they reach speeds of up to 70kph. With only the top two riders going through to the next round, competition is fierce. The event is held in a classic knockout format, and the field of 64 riders starting the main event is whittled down to just four athletes competing in the final.

"Red Bull Crashed Ice" is back in 2014 with a return to Finland and Russia along with annual stops in the United States and Canada. Switzerland's Derek Wedge will be looking to defend his Ice Cross Downhill World Championship title against a pack of hard-charging athletes, including Kyle Croxall, of Canada, and American Cameron Naasz, who finished second and third last year.
