Red Bull Crashed Ice

Some projects are more epic than others and as projects go they don’t get much bigger than this.

When Belfast staged, the Red Bull Crashed Ice, the Ice Cross Downhill World Championship 2015, on the grounds of Stormont Estate on 20th and 21st of February 2015, this was one of the most epic builds and events that we were ever had the pleasure of heading up the event production on.

140 competitors in the action-packed race on a heart-pumping assault course that took 5 weeks to build and take down by a crew of over 300 crew and was specifically designed for Belfast. The track was positioned in front of the iconic Parliament Buildings and enjoyed by 50,000 spectators over the two days in February.

Red Bull Crashed Ice is a world series in the winter extreme sporting event of ice cross downhill. It is a four man full-contact, high-speed, downhill ice skating race along a 440 metre track, with steep turns and vertical drops, reaching speeds of up to 60 km/h in a timed battle, where the first to the bottom wins. The energy and competitive spirit of Red Bull Crashed Ice makes for a breath-taking spectacle and a hugely entertaining event for all.

Previous host countries have included Canada, USA, Russia, and Finland, countries where sub-zero temperatures and winter-long snowdrifts are norm! The Red Bull Crashed Ice 2015 season will kicked off in ice-cold Saint Paul, Minnesota (US) in January before moving on to Helsinki (Finland). Belfast will welcome the third stop before the series moved to Edmonton (Canada).

A true International event.
