The image above is the result of an ongoing evolution that finally came to fruition one snowy night in Minnesota. Over the past four years I have been covering Red Bull Crashed Ice in my home state. It’s an event deemed “The Fastest Sport on Skates,” in which four athletes race down a track made of ice with features similar to what you would see on a boarder cross track. It’s an intense week of shooting and one that I look forward to every year.
