Like former women's ice hockey players Amanda Trunzo and Rush Zimmerman, Desforges has competed in the Red Bull Crashed Ice championships.[7] She has earned the nickname Fearless Fannie and competed at Red Bull Crashed Ice in Quebec City in 2011 and finished fifth overall.

She had the Gee-Gee logo emblazoned on her helmet[9]
