Ice cross downhill

Ice cross downhill (or downhill ice cross), is a winter extreme sporting event which involves direct competitive downhill skating on a walled track featuring sharp turns and high vertical drops. It is similar to ski cross and snowboard cross, except with ice skates on an ice track, instead of skis or snowboards on a snow track.^[1]

Racers, typically ice hockey players, outfitted as such, speed down the course’s turns, berms, and jumps. Typically there are four racers starting each race.

Red Bull sponsor the world tour of the event under the title Crashed Ice.
