The sport, which features six skiers sharing two 20-plus-foot skis, racing in unison, has become a huge hit every Birkie Thursday in downtown Hayward.
And the Nimrods, six guys who work together in town, have taken the sport by storm. Northern News Now’s Dan Wolfe tagged along with the guys as they trained for their 5th Birkie Giant Ski championship, and debuted a new movie...about themselves.
