Crashed Ice heads to its third destination of four, with a trip to the Swedish ski resort of Are. Sweden played host to the first ever Red Bull Crashed Ice event, so the extreme sport is returning to its excellent roots. With fast and furious heats, anything can happen in each and every race, and it always does. The course is challenging, the atmosphere cold but electric, and the championship is still up for grabs. Tune in as the action gets underway in this penultimate round of the 2012 Crashed Ice World Championship.

Woohoo! GBR guy in Heat 13 Adrian Jack
Ooh, I didn't notice! Excellent stuff!
Such a shame they don't broadcast these on TV
Streams to come hopefully
It'll be on Red Bull TV. http://live.redbull.tv/
Scotty is preparing well: Unreal pre game nap, batteries are re-charged and ready for tonight.... #laidbackluke oops.... I meant to say #crashedice
Video of the track http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Red-Bull-Crashed-Ice/001242785030624 Early hairpin looks awesome

Evening.
Woot! I have to sort out some food, but I will be back in time for Scott. He's last in the round of 64.
Yay, hey all
I've just scoffed some chilli sausages. Yum
Hello all. Never seen this sport before....
R2 through, it's snowing a lot there
We have to cheer on Arttu for Lukeh today, too.
hey ya. nearly with ya, we're just sorting out the predictions voicemails. #badtiming
Feed is a bit stuttery
I love that early hairpin, think we're going to see a lot of action there
Smooth for be. It's using a fair bit of bandwidth though.
Sorry, *me*
Is ok here too
Is it just skaters today or other events?
Hans Loof is an awesome name.
Don't know, last time they had cyclists and a guy on a motorbike
It'll just be skaters, although they might bring out some oddities for in between heats.
Cool, thanks
It's a long run to the finish, they look knackered getting to the line.
Looks very pretty with the snow.
Khariton VLASOV has a cool helmet so im glad he won.
Feels like there are fewer people than we have seen previously but it might just be the way the course is laid out
It does indeed. Much better to look at than to actually be in.
Someone is being disqualified?
Ooh, they all hugged at the top of the hairpin. Sort of hugging, anyways.
Sort of hugging gets you disqualified it would appear ;)
Joutselahti is out!
Oohh a name I remember from before L-P D
Backwards at the hairpin!
phew. crashed ice now has my undivided attention.
*catches up*
Adrian Jack from UK in next heat
Ooh, go Jack!
Mels won't be happy about that.
love crashed ice in the snow!
They say it's their fastest course ever. I see that!
Doesn't seem he's any good :) :)
I'm just impressed he got to the round of 64
Glad I don't do an F1Minute on this. Unterglantshnigg would take me a while.
manic race.
hehehe
that heat had more overtakes that some F1 races
evening all :)
have I missed anything interesting?
easy
yay! I love that they didn't show him much because he was too far ahead. He was the Vettel of the race.
well the feed is so high quality, it's kill my machine. can't complain though, looks amazing.
track doesn't look as good as the last one
you can't beat the last one :)
liking the tunnel thing though.
What, the MBP?
windows machine for flash streaming (full screen). it's okay on the mbp, the mini is a bit old now.
Ahhhh!
what we need is a mountain lion machine to stream it to the telly :)
There should be a Red Bull TV channel on Apple TV. Hopefully one day, soon :)
I considered a develop account to try it out but thought it was a bit frivolous
I can have a Scott hat? Interesting!
oh lord.
I love this guy, he screams his way round.
I can't blame for that really, I'd be screaming!
Looks real bumpy
I am recognising more and more names. Been watching this too long, clearly.
yay for R2!
The slow motion shots really show their grimacing. They make it look so easy I forget how hard it must be.
Pregnant snowflakes?
Fail!
He lost it at the infernal gap!
Alanis is back!
Great move by Muller on the inside.
Muller Ice :)
great photo finish!
that was nice from muller
don't know anyone here.
Surely you recognise The Stig?
heheheh
Vlasov in yellow has a cool helmet so im supporting him
i remember the stig-looking guy from last week, he lost then too!
stormtrooper! hey tim.
Points for pirhouetting, but that doesn't help.
3rd to 1st in one corner.
What's wrong with calling them extreme sports?
carnage!!
chaos!
pileup!
replay please :)
Is there a way to get Safari to scroll to the bottom automatically?
Injured man.
change options in sys prefs > general
Hey, Mr C, we know all of these ones.
supporting mader then :)
LPD.
LPD fail on the wall ride
OHh. I change my previous comment to LPD fail.
No autoscrolling there
Faceplant
"jump to the spot that's clicked" then click bottom of scrollbar.
pace is stunning.
That's the same as swiping the mouse really, I want it to scull on it's own as the comments come in. Guess it's not possible. Will Chrome do it?
ahh no. wait until dashboard is finished. that'll do what you need.
More Kudos points.
Thanks ♥
Chrome has notifications so you can see the comments anywhere. I heart Chrome
weird glass smashing sound fx?
Jouhkimainen is just as bad as the other long name.
needs 3-char f1 codes.
I wondered if it's supposed to be skates stopping on ice quickly
How do I activate notifications?
ooooooh! still weird :)
Did you think I was dropping stuff?
cracking ice?
repeatedly!
Tick Notifications at the top of the page
croc-all!
Of course, thanks
oooh, edit suite.
Bit cocky as he crossed the line, I must say.
Must be a really hard job with it being so fast
crazy hard.
in-car cam. cool.
Gooo R2.
They get to choose lanes? Interesting.
Ouch
OW!
oohh t-boned on the wall ride!
And Croxall out
woah!!!
massive.
YES!
Yey Tigh
Wow, big surprise. I bet he'll have a bruise in the morning.
Hooray for R2
That means the championship won't be over this week. Wooo!
this is a close one
nice move by muller on the wallride
4th to 1st is even better in one corner.
Janna was rght about the wall making a big difference.
That lady has a Red Bull cup. I want a Red Bull cup!
Muller's proving to be a good racer, some real nice moves
you read my mind!
A nice clean wall corner for a change.
love the overhead shot
supporting jouhkimainen in this one
great corner.
He's so cheeky at the end. Yay for Scott.
i missed the band name, who?
Heaven's Basement
sounds like an FOM race edit in the making :)
Actually, if Scott's merchandise is like this http://yfrog.com/nv39iiyj I might pass.
Muller & R2 from this I reckon
oh lordy... singing.
woooooooo. fun!
Good round
that looked like a painful shot
what?
Cameraman gets knocked!
cheap shot on the cameraman!
first time i've seen that happen.
Cameraman gets danger money?
heheh
snowmobiles :)
Which is a surprise as they do hang all over the barriers and stuff.
That man clearly has a hard head.
Aww, brotherly love.
hehehehe
no mini final, runner up thing?
Good point..
Bah.
doh
Croxall down! Go R2
R2 down!
what?!
OMG!!!
i cannot believe it.
ARRTU!!!
That was a lot closer than it appeared at the start!
stunned.
Brilliant final
Wow, Horst! Wins his first final! Arttu 2nd?
arttu just gave the championship away.
Great race.
Track's given some really entertaining action tonight
3rd place was really close
ooh full 5 min sky f1 ad's on... excuse me....
That rookie trophy was falling apart. Melting!
i want F1 to start now!
odd trophy.
Antlers rather than Bull's Horns
You could have someone's eye out with that.
that's up there with some of the NASCAR trophies/prizes
champagne fail
uber-fail!
two bottles stuck:)
Eight people still in with a shot at the title.
broken cork. couldn't make it up.
cheers for the company everyone. such fun!
Thank you, looking forward to Quebec
Thanks all. What's next? :)
Crashed Ice is stoopid, I've decided. Silly idea.
Nite all. Roll on Australia...
heheheheheheheheh
Good course, great final. :) When is Quebec, is it Sebring/Aussie GP weekend again though?
It is saturday of the Aus weekend, yup.
Thanks for the company all, that was fun. Looking forward to Quebec round now.
Track cycling for me now.
Later
Bah, I might be out that day.
Daytona 500 is next week if you can bear the ads
Hell yeah!
Maybe the last half hour but not the whole ad schedule
Standings http://sidepodcast.posterous.com/crashed-ice-standings-after-sweden
anyone fancy writing a paragraph or two?
And the Bud Shootout is at 1am tonight.. but that's not very good IMO.
And the Duels on Thursday, Friday's Truck race, Saturday's Nationwide race with Danica (and Pastrana?). I certainly won't be watching all of it..
Possibly, though it might be better coming from a NASCAR fan..
