I was just invited to an official Red Bull / Jagermeister party in Halifax for this Saturday with 4 big screen TVs to watch this years Crashed Ice competition. I always love watching these guys give 'er. Apparently, up to 100,000 people will line the streets of Quebec City to take this in. To our international friends who don't know what this is (and I'm willing to bet some Canadians aren't aware of it either)... check out this video.

Absolutely insane.
that looks cool i think they should add it to the X-games
They should make them wear speed skates. Looks cool. I wonder if it's on PPV on BEV?

I think its just on TSN... but im not 100% sure.
Ya, TSN is right - the last 2 years events are on their broadband right now too.

There is a guy from sweden, who won the first 6 "crashed ice" world championships - until it was brought to canada, then a canadian won it - but this swedish guy altered his hockey skate blades so they were basically speed skates. Seemed to give him a crazy advantage.
That'd make for some hardcore slicing and dicing. Those things are like big chef's knives.
TSN ok, then I'll definitely check it out. Is it always in Quebec City? That's a beautiful place. Making a long hockey ramp would be cool. Who's got a long hose?
