And of course it's by Red Bull, like everything else in Europe.

I mean Red Bull is a big X Games sponsor, even here in the US. Same way Mt Dew has been.

But it's not everywhere like it is in Europe. At least we occasionally mix it up with Monster and various beers. Canada is basically just Euro-west.

And opportunities for betting beyond the winner and runner up.
Who will fall first, most often, and so on.

That’s basically how I felt boarding in purgatory last week.

This would be even cooler - no twists or turns just hurtle down the mountain and reach 220 miles per hour on skiis.

More like why was this sport invented in the first place?

It’s fun to watch but holy shite what a dangerous sport. There probably isn’t anything as unforgiving as ice. I don’t care full hockey pads or not, they make hills out of it? I can only imagine the amount of injuries that happen each time.

This could really be a winner!!

Speed, physicality, skill, toughness, violent collisions.

This has it ALL!!

I prefer this to other sissy winter sports like:
Luge
Curling
Ice Skating
Speed Skating

I appreciate an element of danger with my sports.
That's how I roll.

I kept waiting for a skate to roll over someone's arm or face

You'd think they would go one at a time, even if it's not as cool
