I was credentialed for a few years to shoot the RedBull Crashed Ice races up in Minnesota. Man what a fun time it was, the racers are all hockey players, tough as hell (you HAVE to be in this sport, people left the course in ambulances with broken bones and pelvises!) and a great/high action sport to shoot! I made a lot of friends while spending multiple days shooting the various practices and actual races, and even behind the scenes. Hopefully I'll be posting more shots from these awesome races.
This shot was taken on the course they set up on an actual ski hill which was iced down to make a hard surface on top of huge snow jumps. These guys are crazy!
