I’ve talked before about how much I liked Crashed Ice, the sport is simple and pure - four guys on skates racing to the bottom of a tricky ice course. You have to have skill, but there’s enough luck involved to know that every single trip down the course is unpredictable and unmissable. This year, the sport is taking in four spots around the globe including Belfast, which is tantalisingly close.

This year, Crashed Ice was at its biggest and best, the Ice Cross Downhill World Championship featuring five different locations and some of the top skaters from across the globe. There were team competitions, and more women participating than ever, and it even pushed the boundaries in terms of indoor tracks and corkscrew delights. We’ve been watching the winter sport since 2010, after discovering that Red Bull TV showed each round live for free.
