SNOWBOARDING WITH THE NYPD

Self-described 'YouTube filmmaker' Casey Neistat posted a video of himself snowboarding through the streets of Manhattan on Saturday night. 

While blasting some Frank Sinatra from the Jeep on which he was hooked, Neistat glides over snowbanks and through sharp turns as bundled-up pedestrians cheer him on. A second snowboarder joins in and their crisscrossing ballet through Times Square is a thing of beauty.

The video is entitled "Snowboarding with the NYPD" and the reason for the name doesn't become apparent until the end of the short video. An NYPD vehicle pulls the snowboarding crew over and a voice can be heard saying off-camera, "Someone complained about you so we're just going to pretend like we're talking to you." Neistat's driver replies, "You guys are awesome." 

This isn't the first time Neistat snowboarded through the streets. Check out his 2014 stunt here.
