Russia: Watch snowboarders in crazy costumes plunge into icy water
More than 70 snowboarders and skiers dressed in weird costumes shredded powder and wiped out at the Red Bull Jump and Freeze contest in Yekaterinburg Saturday at the Uktus alpine ski complex. Participants slid down a slope on snowboards or skis, performing their best stunts as they plunged into a pool of icy water.
Judges evaluated participants based on the technical skill of their stunts and creativity of their costumes, and were elected by organisers among the audience who had come to witness the spectacle. There were three categories: best costumes, best trick and best group jump. A group dressed as the rock band KISS took home the Audience Choice Award.
The Red Bull Jump and Freeze is held in many countries around the world, and this year was the fifth year in a row it has been held in Russia. It was previously held in St. Petersburg.
