Video Shout-Out from Luke Webb

I am Australia's Number 1 Red Bull Crashed Ice athlete! Competing against skaters from around the world, I skate down custom built ice tracks (think bmx track, down a hill, made of ice) at speeds up to 80km/hr with 4 racers at a time. Fastest skaters to the end win!

Ice Cross downhill is a winter sport taking the world by storm. 4 skaters compete, side by side, down purpose-built Ice Cross tracks. The tracks features drops, turns, jumps, bumps and have the unique ability to be located in the middle of major cities or on ski slopes. The thrill is not only for the athletes, as spectators are positioned close to the action, lining boards of the track as athletes fly past at speeds of up to 80km/hr. The top two racers advance from each round until the electric final event where athletes put it all on the line to be the first one to cross the finish line.
