RE: 📸 - RedBull Ice Cross Downhill - Original sportsphotography
I've always wanted to go to one of these race events, they look awesome! Do you know how they get the ice to freeze sloped like that? These guys are absurd
If one is ever near you, GO!!! Its totally worth the experience, there are crazy amounts of people all there to have a good time. For the main tracks, they use refrigerated lines under the track and add water on top. For this ski-hill track, they just spray water, let it freeze, and repeat many, many times until the snow itself is a hard (and bumpy compared to a man made track) surface. And yes, these guys are insane, I wouldn't even go down these tracks on a sled.
