Well when season 6 got released they also vaulted a lot of stuff so this kinda makes up for the bouncer trap

These are great for racing out of the storm. Also funny to see people skating about with ice blocks on their feet.

I've tried using these a few times and I just can't get it right anytime lmao, got a lot of work to do before I can skilfully use these lol

These are so hard to use lmao I just get myself every time

Spencer so it makes you slippery? I thought it was going to freeze people in position, but that's pretty cool and will make for some funny times with some friends.


It can actually be useful in the storm as well, getting out faster. But that's the only good thing I've found of them so far

I just wish they didnt do friendly team damage, its cool and all but it affects you too.
