Why are the Finnish so damn thug?

[TheDoughAbides]

It seems like a lot of random skiers out Finland have been putting out jaw dropping one hit wonders. Between that and niptwitz and real skifi and antii I think the Finns might be producing some of the best and most progressive content around.

I can't say I have a PhD in freeskiing history but it seems to me like Finnish skiing has always kind of been overshadowed by Norwegian and Swedish skiing. By that I mean that when I think of Scandinavian skiing my mind always goes straight to guys like henrik, andreas, jesper, and oystein to name a few...maybe its because those damn Finns have such ridiculous names.

Regardless I think that the Finns have been producing better content than their northern brethren (if not better then on par)...but maybe i'm just an ignorant little shit. /rant

Sorry if this topic has been covered I promise I searched for threads related to Finland.

They are right next to Russia. Russia is powerful but Finland can fend them off despite their size. The mandatory military service ensures that every citizen knows how to shoot some big guns. Don't fuck with Finland. Honey badger don't care.

Because of the lack of sun they dont get to much vitamin D , this can caus depression. Because of the depression they just can send everything since they dont fear death anymore.
