      I’m nordic and I didn’t know either.

      But yes, we all do this every day all day, recreationally. I just didn’t know the name.

        It was such a culture shock visiting Nord for the first time, the little bell went off and everyone just dropped what was in their hands and started doing this, and looking at me.

          Holy shit, you didn’t do Nordic Curls in Nord? I’m surprised you made it out.

          The traditional way is to do it heading towards where Santa Claus lives which unlike what Americans think is not the north pole but Korvatunturi located in Finnish Lapland right on the border of Russia.
