Red Bull Crashed Ice

Trunzo first competed in Red Bull Crashed Ice at a race in 2012 in Quebec City, where she finished 4th overall. [4] She was one of only five women (among 164 qualifiers) that participated in the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championships (downhill ice-track racing). [5] During the 2015-16 Crashed Ice season, Trunzo was a member of Team USA, finishing 8th overall in the world rankings.

To begin the 2016-17 Crashed Ice season, Trunzo finished in second place in the opening race, contested in Marseilles, France. [6] The second race, in Jyvaskyla-Laajis, Finland, saw Trunzo experienced a first-place finish for the first time in her Crashed Ice career. [7]

In 2017–18, Trunzo started off the season with a first-place finish in St Paul, MN and continued that momentum to the next race of the season where she earned another first-place finish in Jyväskylä, Finland. For the next stop in Marseille France she found herself on the podium for a second-place finish and finished out the year in Edmonton with a first-place finish. She was crowned the 2017-18 Red Bull Crashed Ice World Champion and became the first ever USA Woman to win it.

The 2018-19 Red Bull Crashed Ice season came and Trunzo once again started the season off strong winning the first race of the season in Yokohama, Japan. Her winning streak didn't stop there as she made it an undefeated season winning the next two stops in Jyväskylä Finland and Boston, Massachusetts. She was crowned the 2018-19 Red Bull Crashed Ice World Champion for the second year in a row.
