Red Bull Crashed Ice
www.redbullcrashedice.ca
Red Bull Crashed Ice is back. A combination of downhill skiing, hockey and boardercross, Red Bull Crashed Ice will return to the historic district of Old Quebec. Last year, over 75,000 screaming fans lined the cobblestone streets as they watched 100 participants soar down the 500m ice-track.
The one-of-a-kind 535m (with 56m vertical) urban ice track will wind and dive its way through the city's stunning landscape. The competitors will have to navigate the course's massive vertical drops, razor-sharp turns, jumps and steps, all while doing speeds of up to 50 km/hr.
The race will start under the imposing gaze of the Château Frontenac and overlooking the rushing currents of the Saint Lawrence River.
