check this report out:



A 70-second video showing a daredevil "free skiing" down the capital?s highest escalator at Angel tube station has proved a massive hit on YouTube, the Internet?s most popular video sharing website.

In the clip -- which has been watched nearly 300,000 times -- a station attendant can be heard shouting just before a young Norwegian called Arild hurtles down the 90-metre escalator at breakneck speed with a camera attached to his head. He safely completes the descent to the applause of other passengers.

The stunt is an example of a "free skiing" -- a cross between skiing, snowboarding and skateboarding -- a craze that is popular in Norway.

However, the extreme skiier's antics did not impress London Underground, who told the Guardian newspaper that the act was "dangerous, stupid and irresponsible".


A cross between skiing snowboarding and skateboarding, wow!!!!!!!!

Haha, in that news article:

"They urged the man to contact them so they could discuss the potential dangers of his stunt."



That'll be the day
