The dudesons movie
- •
The Dudesons are a group of men from Seinäjoki, Finland, with a Finnish television show now also being shown on Spike TV in the United States and channel V in Australia. They perform varyingly deranged and dangerous stunts on the show, much like the American show Jackass on MTV (which had not yet aired when the first set of Extreme Duudsonit episodes were recorded in 2000).
The group consists of childhood friends Jukka Hilden (born in 1980), Jarno "Jarppi"/"Jarno2" Leppälä (born in 1979), Hannu-Pekka "HP" Parviainen (born in 1981) and Jarno "Jarno1" Laasala (born in 1979). Laasala bought a video camera in 1993 and started shooting partying, extreme snowboarding and extreme downhill cycling videos. In 1999 he moved to Helsinki to study at the University of Helsinki where he stayed for a half year, then started working at the television station MoonTV as a cameraman and editor. It was while working at MoonTV that he got the idea to make his own television show, and Extreme Duudsonit was born.
The group's stunts have included human dartb

The Ultimate Jukka Hildén
Jukka Hildén has 4.6 million YouTube Red subscribers. That is more people than watch Love Island or Top Gear. However, despite his success, the ringleader of the renowned stunt team The Dudesons likes to keep his feet firmly on the ground — metaphorically speaking, of course.
Hildén has just launched his new hit online series Ultimate Expedition, in which eight celebrities with no previous climbing experience attempt to ascend Mount Tocllaraju in Peru. It is heart-stopping stuff — experienced climbers die every year trying to reach the peak. Fortunately, Hildén is a man who never backs away from a challenge.
The Finnish-born extreme sports star spent his early years “tipping over sleeping cows” in the small town of Seinäjoki. It was an idyllic childhood “with lots of love and attention”, but, he admits, “with no rules”. The result was a kid with “a good heart and lots of confidence”.
That devil-may-care attitude has served him well. “I always wanted to do something special — to test my limits, push myself and learn, even when I was younger,” he exp
