Spread out over three square miles in St. Paul, Minnesota, hundreds of Harman Martin Professional fixtures were used to light the track and viewing area at Red Bull’s Crashed Ice event.
An after-dark competitive ice cross downhill skating event, Crashed Ice takes place four times a year on temporary 1,500-foot long ice tracks in different cities.
More than 100,000 people attended the event in St. Paul. Lighting designer Paul Guthrie of Toss Film + Design Inc. was brought in by Red Bull to lead the layout and design of all the lighting fixtures for the event.
108 of Martin’s new fixture, the MAC Quantum Wash, were used for their colour rendering, beam punch, and low weight, mounted on towers along the track.
MAC Viper Wash DX units were used in filling in dark sections of the tracks, making the high-speed races more photogenic. MAC 2000 WASH XBs were stationed at the base of the city’s cathedral, which provided the backdrop for the event, while Atomic 3000 strobes were deployed at the beginning and end of the tracks.
