Bio
Like many of the athletes taking part in Red Bull Crashed Ice, skating comes as naturally as breathing for Tigh Issac. From the early days of skating around in his parents' backyard to finishing sixth in Sweden's ice cross downhill event in 2012, the intensity and thrill have kept him hooked. The best part is being able to travel to foreign countries to do what he loves most – skate. Still, Saint Paul remains a favorite stop of his. "The crowd there is always crazy fun," says Issac, "and tracks are always very well balanced and fun to skate."
