On My TV: Red Bull Crashed Ice
1 comments Posted by Andrew Kurjata Posted Thursday, February 05, 2009
So I have a TV on my work desk. This is what's on right now:
A battle to the bottom
Sharpen your blades, Red Bull Crashed Ice is back! A combination of hockey, downhill skiing and boardercross, Red Bull Crashed Ice will return to the historic district of Old Quebec on January 24, 2009. But this year, it's bigger and badder.
With its massive vertical drops, highway speeds, jumps, berms and gaps, the Red Bull Crashed Ice course has carved its place in frozen water history, settling right between the first pond hockey game and slushies. With the bar set so high, we've sent the country's top scientists and Zamboni revolutionists to the toughest region of Siberia, where they are currently training on a remote compound before going toe-to-toe with a superhuman boxer trained scientifically and ruthlessly by an evil regime. As a result they will return tougher, wiser and with a master blueprint on what is sure to be the most entertaining stretch of ice ever touched by a hockey blade.
I guess I'm late to the game since this a rerun, but still-- I'm kind of surprised this exists, yet at the same time I'm surprised it hasn't been around for longer, it just seems so obvious.

I am, however, interested in the politics of sport and have followed the attempts of Jim Balsillie to get another Canadian hockey team be thwarted by the evil NHL Commisioner Gary Bettman, and therefore enjoyed the following open letter very much.
