3) ACCESSIBLE RACES AND COMPETITION LEVELS
What is the ATSX? It stands for All Terrain Skate Cross and is the international federation/governing body of the sport of Ice Cross.
There are different competition levels: ATSX 250 (entry level), ATSX 500 (higher competition), and invitation-only ATSX 1000 (formerly Red Bull Crashed Ice).
ATSX 250 and ATSX 500 races
These levels are open to all individuals. These races are for new athletes and veteran riders. They are designed to introduce beginners to the sport and also hone the skills of seasoned athletes.
ATSX 1000 races
These are top level races. Athletes must qualify to compete at this level. Qualifying points are awarded by participating in the lower level 250 and 500 point races. These points determine a world ranking. The top athletes are then invited to participate at any ATSX 1000 races.
