I have a hard time thinking this is legit, but anyway....

looked pretty convincing to me.

Apparently the camera man was convinced too.:haha:

the skiier realized, all he had to do was be faster than the camera man!

I was in Oslo in December for work and our hosts took us to see that ski jump and nordic center!

It's not exactly a remote spot and that leaves me a little dubious too. But the bear does look real...

Not buying it...

We've just heard of still another result of Global Warming. Torists in Hollmenkollen are now being pestered by polar bears panhandling for spare ice.

Yep, fake. I confirmed with my colleagues in Norway; they don't come down anywhere near that far south. Well done trick video though.
