Crazy kids in Finland ski in the city without snow.  What gives?

Several years ago, four Finnish teen boys played around with skiing without snow in their city of Jyvaskyla.  In parks, streets, and into rivers and ponds, they would skid, slide, crash and burn.  Since beginning in 2011, these lads have made 16 episodes showing their mischief and athleticism, and they’ve been viewed more than three million times around the world. Their site is called Real Skifi.  Check it out here.

Meanwhile, here’s the latest episode. Fun or foolish?
