Sliding On Things Down The Snow

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

There wasn't even that much snow! You guys made me want to go sledding. . . might have to do that tomorrow!

[@bookwormandpoet]

I love how Hank and Katherine are just casually having a snowball fight in the background...their adorableness is just too much sometimes

[@BeeElleBee2281]

I love how when Hank and Catherine are having a snowball fight, Matthew is just like, "Oh. They're being cute."

[@filll5571]

I'll never get tired of Hank swearing ...

[@raxacoon]

Haha suddenly sliding on things down the snow seems super dramatic and exciting and awesome :D I think it's the music, the camera angles and the fact that so many Greens were present.

[@ShutUpKristen]

#ItHurtsToNod

[@mjc-12]

First time I think I heard Hank swear.

[@angelcollina]

SNOW! I've never ever seen so much of it! I have in fact made a snowball before because once when I was very young it snowed in Georgia and everyone closed down and the state stopped. But I'm 29 and never been sledding. I want to sled. It looks so much fun! :D

[@EnriCherry]

I miss snow sooo badly!! for last few years we didn't have snow longer than for few days.. I just can't imagine Christmas without it.

[@sdufrane31]

Sledding is my favorite childhood pastime. It's so much fun!!

[@gelingeling]

Well, I don't care how long it takes to be honest. It's just nice to see your stuff. I've been very jealous at the beginning of the video, because there is no snow in Germany yet and I love sledding so much. But since it was your first time I guess it was well deserved.

[@JamesOrCook]

So glad to see you making videos, Michael. I love your work!

[@ChrisWachtman]

+1 For the DFTBA riff

[@fieldsofdandelions]

After seeing the tweets about this adventure I was kind of afraid to watch this. I'm glad you're alive and mostly well Matthew.

[@lady0mandy]

I moved to a new state recently and it's really depressing because it's 50 degrees outside. Awesome video, though. That song is my jam.

[@skoox11]

simultaneously hilarious and beautiful.

[@littlenewitt]

This just makes me happy!

[@samhump]

seeing Hank sledge is the best thing

[@TheDeliciousTacos]

Oh my gosh! I grew up in Missoula and I used to go sledding on that hill all the time!!

[@parsniplatte]

I love Mathews hoodie! Fall out boy is my favorite band ever!

[@snikkt]

that slo mo shot was amazing

[@mirkivi3931]

The slow motion was so cool!!!! Great video!

[@tricialamb3197]

sledding videos: so much more badass than snowboarding videos.

[@briemiracle]

"Technically!" lol Michael you're so sassy! haha loved the vid! Nice editing :)

[@ysharpe41]

That looked like so much fun!

[@Allydo15]

This really made me want to go sledding, something I haven't done in over 15 years. Also it looks really pretty there.

[@Fralmunk]

27 years without sledding? Crazy! Now DFTBA will be stuck in my head for another 5 years XD

[@61550LizziE]

I like the slo-mo action shots. Nice effect!

[@hhopper92]

"Look it up. It's on Wikipedia." The answer to everything.

[@purekatherine]

I'm older than you Michael and I've never gone sledding, nor have I really made a snowball. One of those things I can do in Chicago, another no so much.

[@KatieAerene]

That settles it. Next time we get together I'm launching snow balls! You've been warned! Also, you can totally go sledding in Chicago, too! There's a few good hills, though nothing like this gorgeous mountainside, sorry. :]

[@purekatherine]

I've bitten through my lip before and needed stitches, so I think I'm ok sticking to hills that are NOT that one, but maybe we should go sledding one weekend!

[@MatthewGaydos]

there's a sledding hill by Soldier Field

[@KatieAerene]

I've already packed my sleds in the car to bring back to the city. This is happening. Matthew, you should teleport back to Chicago and join us!

[@MatthewGaydos]

You figure out the teleportation and I'll be on my way

[@StardustScribe]

You guys need to get on a toboggan. The fastest sled you will ever ride on; it is an absolute blast.

[@insomnicolors]

Snowballs are essential for a happy and healthy life.

[@RazorSharpClaws]

That looks like so much fun!

[@HerGraceLadyTeacup]

Never too old to have a new life experience! :)

[@saltypond]

Love the editing on this video Michael! :)

[@michaelaranda]

Thanks!

[@rolfthewolf42]

Omg I wanna go sledding

[@michaelaranda]

Do it.

[@mattyloz1]

The bailing is the best part

[@ErickaJanes]

i like the way you talk, Michael :)

[@osmia]

Awesome! Everything about this video is sweeet!

[@kayisfish]

Being Canadian, the fact that these were your "firsts" is very odd to me! lol, I hope you enjoyed!

[@DestBassoonist]

I was 16 before I ever did snowballs. I've never been sledding. I understand, Michael!

[@astra_music]

Being from Canada and hearing that that was your first sledding experience surprised me seeing as I can literally walk 10 feet from my property and get to my second favourite sledding hill

[@astra_music]

About a quarter of a mile. Still not very far at all though.

[@astra_music]

Oh :) I live in a farming community, but everyone's used to it

[@CrisDec]

I had already forgotten you were doing this

[@MichaelBracewell]

This almost makes me want to live somewhere with snow. Almost. But it's 75 degrees here in sunny central Florida, and I'm not really ready to give that up.

[@ThousandTimesBefore]

You know, for someone who grew up in Switzerland, not going sledding as a kid is a very strange thought... xD

[@thehappyplate]

"One shoooeee!" Lol. Hope Matthew is okay!

[@MollyBlueDawn]

Extreeeeeeeeme sledding!!!

[@FireUpTheToaster]

Gosh, I enjoy your videos so much. There needs to be more KZbinrs like you. Except maybe ones that post more frequently....

[@MendocinoDragon]

Missoula looks so dark and bitter and frozen. I want to go there.

[@KaraFielding]

This was beautiful. Letting off some steam after the project for awesome I suppose?

[@nbbismine]

WOah! Sledding for the first time in your life?

[@katz86]

heheh sleding is awesome! when I was a kid it was just a thing that when my family went sledding we would go to the chiropractor afterward because my dad always always threw his back out sledding over a bump.

[@romantheflash]

That was awesome, we can't really sled in Australia where I am, but I really want to. Also I hope Matt is feeling bettwr.

[@zaw408]

Christmas here in the east is on the 6th of January so you got that.

[@nerdyballerina7877]

1. you're not old! 2. extend the holiday season as long as you'd like. PLEASE. We don't see get to see these types of videos much. So extend the holiday season into, I don't know, December 2014? And then start anew!

[@Sayuri.Falconer]

i like how in the tree it just says davis in the middle

[@CassieO42]

I wanna go sledding now! Haven't gone yet this year

[@blessedbyacurse]

I want to go sledding when I'm 30.

[@owenmontgomery5960]

1:38 should be a first person game

[@silkenleather]

Thanks, Michael. Now I have to go watch the DFTBA Rap again.

[@Iexapro]

What is this snow you speak of?

[@JillH1995]

Thought number one: Now I want to go sledding. #2: I've always said the holidays last until my birthday, which is on January 8th.

[@zeedar412]

DFTB-DFTB-DFTBA!

[@29jgirl92]

"Look it up, it's on Wikipedia" Ah, I see we share a motto.

[@eevee1156]

God. That looks amazingly fun but dangerous! xD! Enjoy

[@LaurenMorley]

Okay. This settles it. I need to go tobogganing sometime in the next 12-48 hours.

[@kanklbot1466]

It isn't even snowing in England! I am so jealous!

[@KatieAerene]

WUT. Next time you're in Chicago we'll have a Brain Scoop snow ball tournament. You have some serious catching up to do.

[@michaelaranda]

As long as I can film it.

[@KatieAerene]

I wouldn't expect anything otherwise from you.

[@strgrlcrwy]

hmm...in 2009 when I lived at my old house it snowed a TON and my brothers and I went sledding down the crazy steep hill in our backyard on clothes bucket tops. I don't enjoy having snow all over me.

[@TheOneRebornElyrize]

awww.. I miss sledding as a kid Q_Q tho grew up and friends 'dont have time'.. no fun alone.. Better make my bf do it with me xD he also has never done it...

[@quelltarum]

This looks like so much fun. Pity England doesn't get much proper snow. :(

[@BadWolfAndTimelords]

Am I the only one who thought during the sledding bit "yeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhh... I've done *that* before..." XD

[@kstormgeistgem461]

Heh. And did you also go, in your best Crocodile Dundee accent, "That's not a hill, mate... THIS is a Hill!" while pointing to something that would scare the snow suit off a luger? As a kid, I went hills affectionately named things like "Spine Twister", "The Decapitator Busted" and my fave, "The Kidney Jostler". The Decapitator Busted had a rusty old barbed wire fence at the bottom that you either better be good at limbo or you better have a ton of layers on around your neck and throat. Or just don't go on that one. Not even my cousins would have faulted a person for skipping that one actually. I almost got scalped from the wire one year. As it was, I wore some pretty impressive scars for a while where the barbs scored my forehead, through my hair and mangled my hat. Ah those were the days. [le sigh]

[@shainajoseph5040]

It took me a while to figure out that the thing at the end was not a complicated algorithm.

[@Mad.E]

wait .... you ? not ? snow ? ever ? what ?

[@michaelaranda]

I grew up in Southern California!

[@Mad.E]

***** Oh .... oh ..... then you're basicly like the people in Egypt where it snowed recently for the first time in 112 years or so.

[@ragnkja]

***** But you lived in Missoula a year ago, so you've experienced at least one Montana winter before. Why didn't you do any of this last winter?

[@Adharaaa]

+Michael Aranda You need to come to Canada in the middle of winter. But bring a lot of really warm clothes. And go sledding. And have a huge snowball fight with friends. And idk why, but playing tag in the snow is really fun!

[@dave83201]

Next time you go out you should use inflatable inner-tubes. It's seriously more fun than sledding.

[@nataliemaria5945]

1:07 hank...

[@kit4250]

Growing up in MA, I can't even imagine never sledding/making snowballs. It Michael from the south?

[@CecilyBug]

Yay for DFTBA beat in the background. :)

[@blahcahslavves]

There isn't enough snow there to do very much of anything. In Canada we'd call that a bad hill because of all the grass sticking up.

[@VenemiesTech]

I live in Finland and theres no snow D:

[@inutrasha94]

Action/crotch shot. Gotta love the holidays!

[@RaeenosaurusRex]

SNOW!

[@orfeasliossatos]

i'm so jelly :( we haven't had snow all year

[@keltermoo]

Well, I still haven't even seen snow yet, let alone thrown a snowball or gone sledding. I will not let myself get to 80 without having done these things, however. And hopefully not 27 either.

[@technoboylovers]

Is your watch also a calendar?

[@michaelaranda]

Sorta. It displays the date.

[@JJtheJesika]

you don't go sledding on your stomach until you've cleared a good path, so that you're sure there are no bumps or rocks. but there wasn't enough snow for that anyway, i guess.

[@rchlhnt15]

'Very hurry'

[@Lostbetweenthepages]

What camera did you use?

[@hellosaera]

i've never been sledding well... not on snow... sand though we got lots of sand

[@djsqaired6644]

I bruised my tailbone sledding but this video makes me wanna go sledding again. I just dont want to get hurt again.

[@TJ4kicks]

Poor Matthew.

[@Albinojackrussel]

Why is there no snow here! I wanna sled!

[@Fatfatfat94]

Music?

[@laboheme8]

Where are you from?

[@FullElectronOrbital]

I live in Florida. It never snows here :(

[@degeriskender5783]

We had eaten ıce-cream for you from snows and jams, marmalade with catarina wit at winter! Could lisa buyer, buy them, their similers in PR. if she was my childhood friend?

[@ViridisArborem]

I've been sand tobogganing before. A face full of sand doesn't taste good.

[@broshmosh]

You really want the snow to be deeper before you sled, at least another three inches. Generally recommended that you only do winter activities on eight inches of snow, since then it's higher than the majority of bumps and ridges so you don't have as many bails or bumps.

[@Zalied]

unfortunatly that doesnt always happen so you take what you get

[@broshmosh]

And end up in lots of pain! :3

[@Zalied]

worth it tho lol id do it

[@KBaldiga93]

I have a feeling if you were 80 and hadn't made a snowball, and u said that to some kids in the year 2066, global warming will have progressed to the point where the kids would be like "what's snow?" amirite?

[@An19941]

I wish there was snow outside..
