[scatmando]

I like watching Danny Mcaskil do his thing, but this was the dugs bollocks and Im still in shock its Arthur seat......... Big up yi mate... I wanna shake your hand.

[scatmando]

That was bloody marvellous, that guy has just done more for Scotland (Edinburgh) than that dafty Alex Salmond ever did. Im at meadowbank I wish I had seen that. 11/10.

[orbea2380]

Im not not much into sking, but now all you need is a ski lift.

[aep2884]

There was an amazing flash mob on Arthur's Seat on Sunday at 3.. about 80 of us Skied off the top.. does anybody know if there is any video of it.. and what was the facebook page for it?

[scatmando]

@aep2884 Let me know mate, Im just at Meadowbank and thought this video was magic. Big Up the boy who did it. Absolutely fantastic, and will this be going on at the weekend ? Ta man .

[rabeps]

got yourself linked to from the bbc! nicely done. i miss edinburgh.

[Themyarhills]

Avalanche risk issued for that hill.Be warned.

[ijay22]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!

[nethyross]

Gar fair too say you are a lad. When I see you round I shall be congratulating you and top marks on actually going through and doing it! Hope too see the team get good success and see you at some of the races!

[y2james99]

good news! the skier is Gareth Trayner Head Coach of the British Children's Ski Team. And looks like he is going to get some sponsorship through this video which is fantastic and good luck!

[eggenberg4ever]

Nice one. That bend he came round initially: I once got a B.J. there!

[wonderbrawl]

@eggenberg4ever haha nice! Although I'd consider the risk to my reputation if I got my manhood out in those temperatures.

[Tokyoesque]

@eggenberg4ever Load that video up. Cheers.

[scatmando]

@eggenberg4ever Magic comment mate, fpsml.

[seasonAIRes]

that there is some solid skiing brother.

[NornIronLegends]

Do everest

[rpdb]

Excellent! Bravo son.

[hmfc2005]

What a total radge, that was superb!

[boguspurr]

There are avalanche alerts for Arthur's Seat as from last night - maybe not a good idea to try repeating that just now.

[rhonacorona67]

Lived here all my life. Never seen anything like it. What a lucky down city we are having something so beautiful in the heart of the city. When I was driving past I saw people ski-ing down - just amazing.

[jmorrison230582]

pedantry: isn't that the crags rather than the seat itself?

still, a bit weird though. I left Edinburgh this spring after 10 years and never snow anything like that in town.

[Sharkytt]

Absolute Legend !

[106yearsinarow]

holy shit, av gota come see this. im coming tomoro

[CRMHFC]

Wow, that's pretty brave.

[Norrie754]

I've watched it several times, fantastic. Thanks for posting. Isn't Edinburgh a great city to live in?

[NBjambo]

Great vid! He should do The Law in North Berwick next & put that up on here! Now that would take some balls ;)

[preti0random]

AMAZING! Went sledging on Arthur's Seat today!

[comanighttrain]

[Sakurayukii]

Oh my god that is brave! You're featured on the BBC website too! :D

[pegerteg]

Brilliant effort, so annoyed I'm stuck in the centre of London when I could be hitting freshies on Arthur's Seat

[eilidhwasmyname]

hahah!! best way to get down. i wanna go sledging down it... tomorrow!! :D

[cerfvolant11]

Now.... wheres the chair-lift?

[organologist]

See I was convinced this was fake until I walked past Arthur's seat and saw the track marks - not sure if it's brave or barmy - but definitely INCREDIBLE!

[mrsharpjoseph]

Nice.

[mrsharpjoseph]

Nice.

[Farlington]

You're on the BBC news website now as well, though in the manner of a safety warning about avalanches.

[rvh3]

Wow this is a truely beautiful part of Glasgow, just like the rest of Jockland.

[007conundrum]

@rvh3 It's Edinburgh ya fool, Glasgow is on the west side

[scatmando]

@rvh3 lol your at the wind up, but Jockland is beautiful.

How mant city's in the world have a big beautiful castle bang in the middle of it and an old volcano that you can ski, snowboard, or sledge down it ? Not Glasgow mate, but ive got nout against the weegies they (most of them) are the salt of the earth, its just the bigot brothers that tarnish it for the decent ones.

[mountainbikerXtreme]

I did this on a sledge going facefirst yesterday, that's madness lol

[scatmando]

@TheJediKebabShop Go and fuck off ya dafty and have a shite. There aint half some fucking plebs in the world, why would anyone want to watch someone having a shite at he side of the road ? I bet you are one of those kinky cunts who lies under the glass coffee table while your bird or bf take a shite and you wank off. lol. Whatever tickles your fancy ya tit.

[Kathryn003]

I love living here.

[JOZZ145]

I love living in Edinburgh :)

[scoutfletcher]

A lot of people commit suicide around there

[scottishlad1987]

what other city could you do this in?! love it.

[scatmando]

@scottishlad1987 Spot on mate, I love being an Edinburger and a Jock.

[Azureecosse]

@scatmando Thats a new one on me ive never heard a resident of Edinburgh call themselves an Edinburger only Weegies call us that dont know anyone in Scotland that would refer to themselve as a Jock either if someone called me that i would give the bastard a gid slap..

[scatmando]

@Azureecosse A gid slap ? Dinnae be silly ya prick........... Its cunts like you that made this world go all PC, I really don't mind being called a sweaty sock but if it bothers you then get a life ya fucking halfwit. I bet you are the type to call a pakistani shop the paki's or a chinese meal you describe as a chinky ? You can say all that but you get nipped when someone calls you a jock ? Away and get a ride ya daft prick.

[Azureecosse]

@scatmando what happened to you did you fall in a bucket of Scottishness even your banter is shite. You dont know me so not gonna argue , but will say my comment is nothing to do with being PC if you knew me which thank fuck you dont you would never have made that thick arsed comment. Away and chase your Jobbie round the U bend tosspot.

[scatmando]

@Azureecosse Chase my jobbie round the U bend ? Did you get that one from Lenny Henry ? I will look out for you on ''Live at the Apollo'' Fuck off ya clown, I would not want to know someone as fucking touchy as you. A bucket of Scottishness ? My banter is shite ? LOL  At least I do banter not like you ya torn faced fud.

[DarkHysteria]

[stamatisandriotis]

[stamatisandriotis]

Nice. During the rest of the months there... no one can even walk up that part of Arthur's Seat. Good work my son!

[schpleep]

Nice one! I've wanted to do that for years but there's never been enough snow.

[sibeliandrift]

Yay!

[yopizza]

Awesomo! You make William Wallace a pred Scotsman. Although he'd have done it screaming with no pants. Ye, you can't be him sorry but try that next time you shoot! Too bad it takes you one hour to get up there but..  Fek it! gea ferr it saun!

[davidbriro]

[colmcq]

[headsurfing]

Fantastic. It seems to be catching on - saw a guy skiing along the pavement on Ravelston Dykes this morning. Not as steep as this, though!

[AlanTsVids]

Nice one mate! Was that just yesterday?

[y2james99]

@AlanTsVids yeah mate... just about half way up..

[y2james99]

Thanks for all the comments, i was contacted by the Edinburgh Evening News, so hopefully there will be a mention in tomorrows paper!

[Tratonik]

Wow, great vid. Am based in Old Town and wimped out of a walk up Arthur's Seat earlier.

[y2james99]

@Tratonik worth the walk up there! some awesome views.... when its clear!

[Tratonik]

@y2james99 Cool - shared this vid on Facebook and people seem to be enjoying it - I might see if I can make it up later in the week !

[y2james99]

@Tratonik good man! there is a bit about it on the STV website too.

[Rekord1971]

great stuff!!!

p.s. "bennybedlam" great comment ;)

[Clara633]

Edinburqh is a very charning city.

 Rieves covered by the snow look like chocolates .

[jesusandmaryjane]

Watched you 3 guys heading up to Holyrood Park with your skis yesterday, wondered if you were going to try something like this. You are nutters.

[bennybedlam]

keep on looking at this!! i used to live in edinburgh and go running on arthurs seat three times a week. i've also been a skier since the age of 4 so know how steep and gnarly this slope is!! serious respect!!

[colingilchrist1]

Bravo!

[akrosa3000]

Getting back up without a chairlift must suck

[bennybedlam]

FUCK YEAH!!
