Red Bull Pond Skimming competition in St Petersburg, Russia

More than 1000 spectators gathered on the hill on April 16th near Russia, to watch skiers and snowboarders pond skimming. 124 daring contestants dressed in wild costumes launched into the icy pool after hitting a kicker at the end of the run in slope; making this pond skimming event very unique. Some of the costumes included the likes of Spounge Bob, a Cactus, Divers, and Futurama heroes to name a few. In the end the competition was won by the Cactus, who managed to pull a double backflip into the pond. Check out more at
