Pure viewing pleasure

Thank you British Eurosport, for you have finally provided me with some justification for spunking £25 a month on a Sky subscription. Some aimless channel surfing this evening saw me land on BE2 - ordinarily the home of luge and modern pentathlon, but tonight playing host to the magnificence that is "Red Bull Crashed Ice".

The premise: build a cross between a bobsleigh track and a downhill ski slope through the middle of a Canadian City. Get some people kitted out in ice-hockey gear. Give them a shove. Sit back and watch as hilarity and carnage ensues.

It's much like the equally inspired downhill inline skating that used to be on the telly, but with added spectacular falls and general arse-over-tittedness.

Genius.
