MY MICHIGAN: Skiing Detroit

RUIN PORN WARNING
The video starts slow but if you stick with it, you will be amazed at what these young men have done to turn Detroit’s ruins into ski runs. Moms will have their hearts in their throats, but many of us still harbor a secret desire to be a daredevil.

This is an amazing video. The combination of ski jumps mixed with skateboarding moves and parkour make it a thrill to watch. All in the midst of urban decay-fascinating juxtaposition.
