Arctic skating outdoors
« on: December 16, 2020, 05:23:40 PM »
It might be outdoors in one of the most desolate, northern-most places, but there was quite a crew behind the making of this video. The figure skater is Emmi Peltonen.

Note the makeshift Zamboni in the video.

That's awesome - wish it wasn't for Red Bull, though.

Yeah, they did place prominent Red Bull "appearances" throughout the video. It seemed a little out of character for a figure skater to be drinking it somewhere in the arctic.

At least they footed the bill for the project.

Fortunately for Emmi, this demo did not happen at the same time and place:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9990wY1DEhk
