Street Snowboarder Brings Winter Olympics To Wash Heights: VIDEO

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — Mumblings are getting louder across social media that the perfect snowboard run might have taken place in Washington Heights over the past couple of days.

From the friends slingshotting the snowboarder across the snow, to the footwork needed to get across the street and up the stairs, to grinding the rail, before catapulting himself over the final railing — the Winter Olympics have officially arrived in the Heights.

Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer posted the video to her Twitter account on Friday.

Didn’t know the Winter Olympics were uptown this year. Stay masked and be safe when playing outdoors!

It is hard to tell exactly where the skilled snowboarder tore across the snow, but it's clear from street signs in the video that the ride happened along Wadsworth Terrace, which stretches from West 190th Street to around West 193rd Street.

The comments on the video also didn't disappoint.

From the classic, "He's really on XGames mode," from one Twitter user, to "If Black kids got as many opportunities as white kids for winter sports and gymnastics, they'd do some amazing things," another commenter wrote.

So if you're walking through Washington Heights in the coming days, keep your eye out for some gnarly snowboarding talent.
