Patched up: A short video by Joonas Eloranta

A surprise collection of Finnish snowboarding clips by the man himself

Cracking open our breakfast Easter eggs and discovering they were full of mini-eggs is about as surprising as opening a birthday card from your Grandma and pretending you didn’t see the cash inside while you read her best wishes.

No, you knew the little sugar coated chocolate goodies were there, you just needed to put up the false air of surprise to comfortably indulge in a chocolatey desert to follow your chocolate breakfast.

However, one thing that truly did surprise us this morning as we struggled to log into our emails with sticky, chocolate covered fingers, was to discover a fresh short video from Joonas Eloranta (AKA @Jopiwankenobi) sitting in our inbox.

 

Patched Up brings together a selection of his favourite clips filmed over 2 years in Finland. Some of which you may have seen, some of which you haven’t.

Soundtracked by one of Aphex Twins more delicate tunes the video sonically matches the energy one might need on a Bank Holiday Monday after a weekend of over-indulgence. But the snowboarding is anything but relaxing and features plenty of bangers to get the heart racing enough to feel like you’ve done some exercise.

It also runs for about as long as it takes to gobble down a 6 pack of Creme Eggs. So get stuck in.
