Riders will rocket from 0–60 mph in under three seconds, carving into corners and fighting elbow-to-elbow on a track built inside a hockey rink — all for one reason: To claim the most coveted title in the sport — World Champion. And the madness doesn’t stop racing.
The halftime spectacle that broke the internet is back — the Motorcycle ICE® Limbo. Watch riders defy physics, grind their bikes lower and lower, and push the limits of balance, bravery, and ice traction for the chance to be crowned the night’s Limbo Legend. It’s wild.
Go VIP with early access to the Pre-Race Pit Party. Pit Passes available for only $5, giving fans the rare chance to meet the racers up close, grab photos, and feel the energy before the gates even open.
The World Championship ICE Racing Series delivers a night packed with high-stakes racing, bone-chilling crashes, and jaw-dropping athleticism — wrapped in an atmosphere that keeps every fan on their feet.
