Fast Ice

The 'Fast Ice' audio recording is basically something that allows the listener to take a journey through the electrifying and rarely-seen ice skateboarding in fierce competition that is by the greatest skaters in the world and which hybridizes the cause and the overt competitiveness of the players. The skaters appearing star-like, stripy, and with a little dirt on their faces, some of them are dragging away their money to be converted in another part of the world while the others are unethical individuals who are ready to cross an unknown territory where no rules are established yet and become the non-identifiable person and surely have a power of Kings.
