"I took this shot over a year ago. We were in Helsinki in January, and it was snowing like hell. Our photographer and cameraman Mikhail Enko Derujskiy lived a few years in Helsinki and he knows the city very well, so he showed us the spots on the map every evening and we decided where to go the next day. We had hit up this spot before, but there was already another crew there (I don't remember who it was). The next time we came, the spot was busy again. It was like every European crew was there at the same time! Third time was a charm though, nobody was there. The police paid us a visit at one point, but some incredibly drunk local man (who was definitely on our side) said something to them in their funny language and they disappeared. After that he helped us pull the bungee, still talking in Finnish even though we didn't understand a word, thanks dude!"
