City Rinks

The most famous City Rink in the world is at the Rockefeller Center in New York. The largest and certainly one of the most beautiful City Rinks is build every year in front of the Vienna City Hall (Wiener Rathaus). Well organized city rinks such as the “Vienna Ice Dream”, the “Munich Winter Magic” or the “Frankfurt Opernplatz on Ice” are attractions for every city and delight both natives and tourists alike. Journalists report on these events as well as the cities involved resulting in “good press” for those involved.

Red Bull Crashed Ice Racing Series

The Red Bull Crashed Ice Series is the Formula 1 of ice sport! Since 2010, World Champions have also been crowned in this sport which is sponsored by Red Bull. This sport is a combination of skicross and ice hockey. In ice canals riddled with sharp curves, jumps and obstacles, athletes compete one on one to be the first to cross the finish line. In Quebec, Canada 90000 spectators were present at this event and observed these breathtaking matches.

The canal course is only possible through the use of AST’s flexible EPDM ice mats.

Fairs

A real ice rink is something special and is often used to attract a great public. Hugo Boss, VW, Subaru, Continentale, Hilfiger Denim and Audi have already taken profit of a real ice rink form AST for putting the focus on their products on exhibitions and during presentations.

Branding and Sponsoring

How does a company procure a 100m2 large advertisement area at a superb location in a large city for a long pre-christmas time frame? Easy answer – by sponsoring a 20m x 30m ice rink!
The ice area borders (available in heights of 80, 100 and 120 cm) can provide companies with a one of a kind advertisement surface.

Ice Shows

Ice Shows are much loved by audiences and are therefore very often frequented. Should there not be an available ice arena around, city and concert auditoriums as well as sport arenas, which do not have their own ice making equipment, can rent the necessary professional ice rink units and machinery from AST.

TV Shows

AST genuine ice rinks are willing used for TV shows. The shows are mostly produced before live audiences. The best ice quality counts the most! In spite of the high studio temperatures (often much higher than 20° C), caused by the studio’s spot lights, AST’s ice quality remains top-notch!
“Stars of Ice” with Katarina Witt on PRO7 as well as ice shows in Denmark and France were produced on AST Genuine Ice Rinks.
