This is an annual sledging event for university students in Helsinki and Espoo. Besides casual sledding, there is a traditional creative sledge competition where teams make their own sledge to go down the Hill....!
From the official website.
"The most daring and ambitious take part in the legendary downhill race, where teams pilot their home-made sleds down the Ullanlinnanmäki hillside in hopes of winning the grand prize! They are judged not only on their run's distance, but creativity and showmanship as well... "
Proof that we made the sledge ourselves!
When its done!
Waiting for the tram to the hill. Could u imagine how many pple were watching us as we brought this huge poker out?
Laskianen is also known as pancake day. So there are quite a bit of food on the event itself where u can eat.. and its all for free!
Chinese and Malaysians who helped us by pushing us down the slope! See the video and u will understand!
