Extremely Extreme Sport!

Is it hockey? Is it speedskating? Is it skiing? It's Ice Cross Downhill!

This is something a little crazy I came across. This is an extreme sport, and it's main event is called The RedBull Crushed Ice, which is held every year. This year it was held Quebec City.

The first race was held in Stockholm in 2000.Since then, there has been 14 races in eight countries. The terrain has varied from ski slopes in the mountains, or through urban cities and villages.

The race is a man vs. man battle down a 300 metre long ice track filled with gap jumps,ice steps, and razor sharp hairpin turns.
