Storm Jonas: NYPD Car Pulls Over Epic Snowboarder, Then Drives Alongside Him

Daring Jonas Snowboarder Didn't Receive Expected Response From NYPD

A snowboarder on an amazing drift across New York received an unexpected response from beady-eyed cops, when they joined in by driving alongside.

Captivating drone footage chronicles the daring journey across the city's apocalyptic landscape, showing the boarder effortlessly gliding across the compacted snow.

While there are more than a few stumbles on the way, the boarder seems well schooled in the art form, soon attracting the attention of a passing NYPD squad car.

Towards the end of the clip, the squad car is seen passing the boarder with its lights flashing.

YouTuber Casey Neistat posted the video, with help from fellow videographer Jesse Welle.
