Joost Wichman and friends gate crashed the recent icy Red Bull skate event in The Netherlands.

Could this be the start of a new event?

Four pro riders, one spectacular track made of ice… Joost Wichman (4X, RoseVaujany), Nico Vink (downhill, RoseVaujany), Rick Koekoek (trail, Ricco Bikes) and Martijn Jaspers (BMX, GT Bicycles) added a whole new dimension to the term gravity mountainbiking last saturday. They rode from top till bottom during Red Bull Crashed Ice, in Valkenburg, The Netherlands.

The crowd (25.000+) did not know what hit them. Right before the big final was about to start, they saw four men on bikes flying by. The riders were only a fraction slower than the skaters. Although the track was not entirely suitable, it was clear that this side-event is worth further development.

The performance has impressed the audience and the organisation. The chances are high that the concept will be repeated. The idea comes from Joost’s company Thirty7even, specialized in sports promotion, and was developed in cooperation with Red Bull Netherlands.

  10. Stacy, are you a girl or a boy with a girl’s name? Have you played ice hockey? Winter = snowsports, how’s that ‘gay’? redbull = rampage, urban DH and this season live WC coverage, not ‘gay’ either.

    Don’t be a hater, it’s gay.
