About this Video: The high-speed action of ice cross downhill -- with four aggressive skaters committed to plowing through every obstacle in their paths on their full-bore charge to the finish line -- attracts a rabid crowd, with spectator numbers rising exponentially over the last 10 years.

With venues now able to accommodate much bigger crowds with better views of the track, Red Bull Crashed Ice events are now attracting in excess of 100,000 spectators. As some of the sport's top skaters explain in this video, the buzz from the crowd drives the athletes to their best performances.
