Ice Cross, one of the most exhilarating sports today, began as a Red Bull publicity stunt called Crashed Ice in 2001. The concept was simple yet thrilling: combine the speed of downhill racing with the physicality of ice hockey. The inaugural event in Stockholm, Sweden, was an instant hit, turning Crashed Ice into an annual tradition and global phenomenon.
As the sport gained popularity, the All Terrain Skate Cross (ATSX) federation was formed in 2010 to establish formal rules and standardized competitions. Red Bull’s marketing played a crucial role in Ice Cross’s success, attracting fans worldwide. The sport’s blend of speed, skill, and danger makes it a thrilling spectacle for participants and viewers alike.
Recently, Ice Cross has been elevated by athletes like Tim Cimmer, whose daring approach has brought new energy to the sport. Cimmer is currently working on a groundbreaking project—a 360 ramp that has never been seen before in ice sports. This innovative feature, debuting at his September event, is set to push Ice Cross to new levels of intensity and spectacle.
As Ice Cross continues to push the boundaries of extreme sports, it solidifies its place as a thrilling competition with a growing global fan base. With projects like Cimmer’s 360 ramp, the future of Ice Cross looks brighter than ever, promising even more heart-pounding action and unforgettable moments.
