Holy mother of god!!! 1. ripping by the cops at the cross walks 2. coming inches from smoking people doing 40km/h on your road bike 3. coming inches from getting run over by cars... And I thought downhill racing was intense lol looks like I need to try this!

When riding in the city, you have to worry mostly about yellow cabs, cause they drive like maniacs and they don't care about anyone else. I like hanging onto buses and get speed like that. Manholes and bumps are not really a problem, it's those big metal plates and the white paint on crosswalk, because when they're a little bit wet, they get really slippery.

yes.. because the people to watch out for in this situation is the cabbies because "they drive like maniacs and they don't care about anyone else"...
It's real difficult for me to see the irony in that...!

pff a downhill bike would be shit for this...but..I think a XC bike could be better for this with slicks or semi-slick tires and a rigid or 80mm fork.. because the seating possition gives u more control( but if ur not human like the guys in the video it doesnt matter) and if u fit disk brakes or even good V-brakes it will brake so much better and its easier to get to the brake levers and to stop more quickly.

Seriously this has to be VOD.LIke about 5 times they were inches away from being crushed between cars, they were dodging people and other bikers, and at full speed.That was so intense.

Thats so neat, Drivers in my city would just run you over if you made them slow down.
I bet they saved $50 in gas in that 10 min bike ride.

i love my city, seriously though. NYC is the best place to do human slalom races and traffic slalom races. Biking fast in between cars is the shit. I mannualed through times square once, shit was scary haha.

This is really insane, im tryin to ride through The Hague but the problem here is that most of the drivers bought their licence for a bottle of whiskey, they dont look around and just throw their cars from side to side.
Even when tryin to get to work i may die , i might make a movie also but dont expect anyhing like this. The cars in this movie respect the bikers and they ride different then in this country.
But i love this kind of crazyness

no i'm in agreement with tiny2, this is what gives bikers a bad name, and what makes cops so twitchy when it comes to cyclists (an incident on a pinkbike video where there was like a fixie rally and one got knocked off his bike by the police! I felt sorry for the dude but if he rides anything like this, he deserves what he gets!) I know i'm going to get mad negative propped for this but this is the WORST type of riding, it endangers others, not just yourself, and it requires a certain amount of luck: it's not all skill. Most of all it is all TOTALLY illegal! NOT COOL.
Hehe Sweet Video Guyss!
