Hal Johnson Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Its like downhill skiing for dudes on skates. Some guy in Quebec came up with it (go figure). You wear full hockey equipment and race a bunch of guys down an ice track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 it's called the Red Bull Crashed Ice. It's mayhem and completely awesome. I almost went this year but then two things came up that ruled it out. Lots of vids on youtube.Crashed Ice is a winter extreme sporting event, featuring head-to-head, urban, downhill speed ice hockey skating. Crashed Ice was created and is produced by Red Bull® Energy Drink.Competitors, having advanced from one of the tryouts in the prior months, race in heats of four skaters, with the top two advancing from each heat. Racers, typically hockey players, outfitted as such, speed down the course’s turns, berms, and jumps in a sport that fans describe as a mix among hockey, downhill skating and boardercross.Prize money is split among the top four finishers (the last heat), with Québec 2007’s total purse being $10,000, and the winner taking home $5,000.Kevin Olson of Lethbridge, Alberta won both of the 2007 events, reaching a top speed of 60 km/h in Quebec and 70 km/h in Helsinki. The crowd estimate for the Quebec race was upwards of 75,000 people, and 10,000 in Helsinki.Arttu Pihlainen won the January, 2008 event in Quebec City. In March of 2008 the race will return to Helsinki, Finland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Seriously, this celebration dance was wayyy too stoopid. I don't mind a bit of celebration, but this goes to cheesy NFL style bullshit in the endzone ridiculousness. Can't wait to see Cherry rip it apart tonight on Coach's Corner.

Kanada Kev Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) So what does my son do in his Timbit championship game today when he's announced?? Edited March 21, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Hey Kev, dont you remember Selanne's 50th goal celbration? He threw his gloves up in the air and used his stick as a rifle to shoot them down.Personally, Ovechkin does wayyyy, and I mean wayyyy too much for the game of hockey to start picking apart his celebrations. The last thing I'd want to see is a huge backlash against him for this stuff. Even more, I'd hate to see his demeaner eventually effected by it in any type of negative way. Just sayin. Let the man play and be happy - he's the best thing to happen to hockey in years. Edited March 21, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
