Who Needs Sochi? Man Films Himself Snowboarding Across NYC Dragged By SUV

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - The 2014 winter games are happening half a world away in Sochi, but not for one New Yorker.

Casey Neistat took advantage of the recent storms to go snowboarding across the streets of New York City.

In a clip uploaded to YouTube, Neistat is seen being dragged behind an SUV, on a snowboard, across the slushy streets of New York. In traffic. Without a helmet.

Another shot shows Neistat snowboarding down the steps of one of the courts on Center Street, and down the steps of the Soldiers & Sailors Monument.
