red bull crashed ice race - st. paul,mn - minnesota

            Red Bull Crashed Ice race in St. Paul, MN in front of the beautifully lit Cathedral of Saint Paul, Minnesota.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crashed Ice is a world touring downhill racing event sponsored by energy drink company Red Bull. This wintertime extreme sporting event is also called 'Ice Cross' and involves athletes skating down a 1,200 ft long frozen urban track with high vertical drops, steep turns and other bone jarring obstacles. It's kind of a mix between hockey, speed skating and rugby with competitors racing against the clock.

The course was setup in front of the beautiful Catholic Cathedral of Saint Paul in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. Over 100,000 people came to watch the action. Red Bull put on quite a light show with searchlights illuminating the sky that could be seen for miles. I spent this year shooting from a private parking ramp getting chased off, floor by floor, by security guards - I managed to get this shot by hiding behind a big pickup truck 😮
