They did a nice job putting it together, and it was cool seeing them do this with a Pittsburgh backdrop. Mt. Washington is pretty impressive. But its stupidness is kind of contextual: these guys would be right at home in Northern New England. The only part that looked unusually dangerous to me was skiing close to those large concrete bridge supports. Concrete is harder and bigger than trees or trestles, and that poses an intimidating hazard. http://metachat.org/index.php/2010/02/24/urban_skiing#c526009 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:46:06 +0000 c526013@http://metachat.org That video is pretty cool. I just showed it to my Pittsburgh-native husband, who agreed that the skiing down Mt. Washington was pretty nutty. I was impressed by the production value. Great find, octothorpe! I would've been with you, holed up at home nursing a hot chocolate and cursing the snow. http://metachat.org/index.php/2010/02/24/urban_skiing#c526013 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:13:09 +0000 c526019@http://metachat.org After I posted that I found this interview with the filmmaker who created the video. this interview with the filmmaker who created the video.]]> http://metachat.org/index.php/2010/02/24/urban_skiing#c526019
