Ted looked deep into Vladimir's eyes and... saw a friend.Ted and Vlad: Best of Friends!

Haha. I'll never forget the day George "dubya" Bush said that about Vladimir and lo and behold, it turned out Russian relations went down the tubes!

But, thanks to Ted, there couldn't be any smoother sailing between the USA and Russia. He even had the balls to hand Putin a Barack Obama bumper sticker and said: "here, put this on your car!"

That takes some serious serious guts. Good stuff!

On Friday January 2nd, 16 of the top men's alpine skiing athletes participated in a promotional event meant to create enthusiasm for the 2016 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Organizers estimated over 25,000 people attended the FIS alpine promotional event held on a specially constructed ramp towering 183 feet over the heart of the Russian capital.

Even though he had Vlad pulling for him, he managed to come in 4th, behind Bode (3rd), Grange (2nd) and Neureiter.

Wild stuff that event, and it made you think: imagine they pulled that off in Central Park in NYC? Or in Chicago? Or any major European city? Fun...

Whether you're in the Rockies, Alps, New Zealand, or Moscow: RIP IT UP!
