    Some nutter skiing down Angel tube station escalator in London recently. Apparently it’s the longest one in Europe. Looks like Risky business to me but saves time after all…

    :weee: Class!!

    hahaha thats brilliant, brave guy!

    my friend Claire decided
    (when much much younger and hugely pissed)
    to do a similar thing at the Angel – but in the middle of the escelators on her bum
    (before they put those bumps on them)
    and smashed her face up, knocked out 3 front teeth, which were saved by a guy who picked them up and put them in his pint of milk bottle and gave to ambulance men, :crazy:
    I have trouble with just going down that escelator the ‘normal’ way as its so high!

    worst days of my life where spent going down verts on my bmx (she was stunning!) … you dont realise how steep it is until youve ‘dropped in’ for the first time … eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep :bigsmile:

      A man who skied nearly 200ft down the longest escalator on the London Underground has been condemned by police and transport officials.

      He launched himself down the 196ft (60m) escalator at Angel Tube station and filmed the stunt.
      The unidentified man then posted it on the YouTube video sharing website where it has received more than 100,000 hits.
      Transport for London (TfL) urged police to take the “strongest possible action” against any similar offenders.


      ‘Reckless’ stunt
      A TfL spokesman said: “This is a dangerous, stupid and irresponsible act that could have resulted in serious injury or death to not only the individual concerned, but other passengers.”
      A British Transport Police (BTP) spokesman described the skier’s antics as “naive and reckless”.
      They urged the man to contact them so they could discuss the potential dangers of his stunt.
      A BTP spokesman said the video was thought to have been recorded about a year ago.
      He said under by-laws they could not prosecute after six months had lapsed.
      If someone had been injured, they would still have powers to prosecute under criminal law, the spokesman said.
      The video, filmed from the skier’s head-mounted camera, shows him walking, going up the escalator, fitting his skis on and launching himself down at high speed.
      The escalator was clear at the time but passengers on opposite conveyors can be seen looking on, bemused.
      The film’s producer said other people were not in danger as friends of the stuntman, a Norwegian national, had warned passengers away.
