There was a doco about it on Discovery channel once. Racing bikes on ice in Sweden. The tyres have very sharp spikes on them which can go through your boots and grind your feet easily.

The gear they wear to prevent that from happening was pretty old school type though. All two stroke bikes. Very different riding style to keep them going, insane lines and cornering style aye. Looked good fun though. Some mad lean angles as well.
