Near the Cathedral in St. Paul, there was a lot more going on than usual from the 12-14th of January. Red Bull cae to town with another one of it's extreme events. Attracting thousands of people to watch skaters go down a track of ice with jumps and other obstacles, it was fun to watch. I didn't see too many crazy wipeouts, but there certainly were a few.
The biggest surprise to me was just how big the ice track was. It stretched from the cathedral down a couple of blocks. It took them a couple of weeks to put up, and I know it took some serious generators to keep the track frozen. You could hear them humming the days before the event. They have since cleaned it all up, but it certainly created a lot of temporary jobs for the building ad take down.
I know the event was filmed, so I'm sure there are plenty of highlights on red bull's website. Check it out if you want to see an action packed sport that you doesn't take long to understand.
