#IceRacing

Recently, I logged more than 1000 miles on a Ural Gear Up. Many of those miles were spent on pavement, however, some of the most fun I had was riding it off-road. Bouncing the big three-wheeled machine through dirt trails and over rocky stream crossings was a blast. Something I didn’t have a chance to try while on the Ural, though, was riding on a frozen lake, or frozen anything for that matter.

Red Bull is known for creating insane and off-the-wall stunts for its athletes, and while this one isn’t overly dangerous, it certainly scores high in the unique category. Watch as trials rider Dougie Lampkin turns an igloo and a few ice sculptures into his own personal trials bike course.

Every other year dozens of countries attempt to set aside geopolitical, ethnic, religious, and cultural differences in order to gather in one host nation so that a select few citizens from each nation may participate in that spectacle of sport known as the Olympics.
