In 2013, Cimmer, founder of WICL, faced a pivotal moment when he qualified for a Red Bull Crashed Ice competition in Europe, becoming one of the first North Americans to do so. His destination was Lausanne, Switzerland.

In 2013, he embarked on an innovative business venture, consulting with fellow athletes and business associates to develop strategies for promoting Ice Cross. His efforts culminated in 2014 when he secured an opportunity to compete in a Red Bull contest in Jyvascula, Finland. Leveraging the resources of the nearby Laajis Laajavuori ski hill, Cimmer and his team revolutionized track engineering, carving a rollercoaster-like course with remarkable efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
As a key figure in the production of WICL events, Cimmer played a crucial role in elevating Ice Cross to new heights of popularity and excitement.
