Red Bull’s Crashed Ice event skates into Belfast this February

Kelly O’Brien loves ice hockey and isn’t adverse to hanging out at pop-up ice skating rinks in December so she couldn’t resist trying out Red Bull extreme ice skating.

You may have seen the ads on TV – an intimidating ice slope, thousands of people cheering, and a seemingly endless stream of daredevil skaters clad in pads, helmets and expressions of steely determination.

This is Red Bull’s Crashed Ice event, and you’ve never seen anything like it.
