Red Bull Crashed Ice is making history by bringing the first stop in the U.S. World Championship Series to St. Paul, Minnesota. The extreme sport of ice cross downhill will change the way you look at hockey skates and a slab of ice. Competitors from around the globe duel it out over the course of 4 events worldwide. Sal Masekela hosts and Mayleen Ramey serves as sideline reporter for this gravity-defying, bone-chilling series. Travis Pastrana and friends from Nitro Circus also stop by to join in on the action, even making an attempt down the ice track on a trike! Red Bull Crashed Ice airs on Jan. 21st on NBC, as part of the Red Bull Signature Series. Tune in!
