Growing up I always thought how sweet it would be to go somewhere like Alaska and do some down hill ice skating on the frozen rivers. I never thought I would see something like this. Yes its old but man do I wish I could partake in this event! I grew up playing hockey from 4-18 yrs old and was on the ice before I was even a year old.

Edit: I know the title should read Drempt (always drempt of doing this.)
Should be a contact sport. I wanna see a lifeless body slide 200 feet down a frozen river.
I’m game, padded boards and you are all set. Hell if you fall you just slide down. If the walls are tall enough and padded… you have no reason to complain. haha count me in!
I almost signed up for the one in boston when it came around. They really didn’t have tough requirements to sign up but you need to wait for them to put on an event.

Keep an eye on this for 2012 http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Register-for-Red-Bull-Crashed-Ice-2011-/001242908284296
It’d be cool if we could do that in Buffalo. Maybe on Main somewhere by Swan and have it go under HSBC tower then past Exchange and down toward Canalside. I wonder if that would have enough elevation to make it interesting.
Contact the people at PowderKeg Festival. It seems as if that group is open to new ideas and anything to keep improving the event.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Here’s your chance yambag.
Definitely not what I expected. this != frozen river.
No.
yambag, do you even have a high school diploma? just wondering
Yep and College as well. I’m sorry I have a learning disability for spelling, reading, grammar, and comprehension. Joke all you want, I’ve got it a lot growing up.
travis’s new title is fucking hilarious.
that is all.
looks pretty damn fun
I can’t skate without a stick in hand though…weird
I do understand what you mean on that. Something like off balance or something just is not right. lol I could not stand going to open skate with friends and not being able to have a hockey stick with me.
You dont play roller with any of the guys on here do you?
nah, used to play ice hockey with a few guys on here, but have since moved out of state
Oh no shit. I’m hoping to get back into shape with the mountain biking so that I can do a bar league with my brother. His team ends up splitting up every year for the Labatt pond hockey tournament and make it to the finals each year. Last year the slit team played eachother for the cup. lol I miss playing so much and know that if I got back in to it, I’d have a great team to join.
