Bike Messengers - Drag Race NYC. Music by ÜBERDOSE!

[Jay210071]

3:26 theres enough space??

[jcrow62]

I will say, that was amazing. It doesn't even make sense how many times I was surprised that one of those guys didn't eat shit. The speed and skill truly is amazing.

However, running red lights and making people stop for you is kinda bullshit. Also, flying by people on the crosswalk on both sides is kinda an a-hole maneuver. But that's just me. I've riden in critical masses before, but it's one thing to make a car wait at a red light and another to make them slam on their brakes.

[h0nn0h]

Makes me so nervous watching this.

[Alicejanette]

WONDERFUL SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[uberdose]

@Alicejanette Thanks :)

[bluemeate]

best song ever....

and yall should watch me riding my bmx thru traffic... just wish i could go as fast tho :(

[uberdose]

@bluemeate Thanks!

[grass4life]

i wish i can do a ride like this in ny oneday :)

[wdeboer0]

If I were a yellow cab driver, or any driver, or road user in NYC, I would get hella annoyed at these pissheads thinking they're above the law. Sorry.

[hngbones]

I was a msngr for 4yrs then i moved out of NYC... I used to b an experienced rider like these guys... This vid reminds me of my days... lol... AWSOMEEEEE VID!!!!!!!

[MrNatsky]

Czy zauważyliście, że przechodnie, którzy są już na pasach - zawsze patrzą się co się dzieje na drodze? Takiego rowerzystę zauważają jak jest od nich w odległości 50m.

Nasze święte krowy, dopiero jak słyszą pisk opon aut, hamulców rowerowych to dopiero obkręcają swoje łby żeby zobaczyć co się dzieje.

Patrzeć i orientować się na wszystkie strony jak włazicie na pasy !!

[350z350zify]

3:26 to 3:28

How the fuck?

[comedyman112]

you guys are freaking awesome. do u respect any circulation rule at all ? i love the feeling when you pass over cars that have to wait

[janstaats6]

fucking good!!!

[pansagittarius]

can i ask you sth? (if you're among those bikers too): does the police stops you if you do that? i mean,, is it illegal of some sort?

[hngbones]

@pansagittarius Yes it is illegal... U will get a ticket.... If they can catch u, witch is unlikely!!!! LOL

[pansagittarius]

fuckin kickass I love these ppl

[drabixy]

perfect ride with perfect track :)

greetings 4 this

[iguanarc]

I HTAE NY AND WALLSTREET

[yudiweb]

6:24 guy with blue tanktop WTF, LOL

[YamahaAeroxRider]

Die sind ja mal hart drauf, geiles Video.

[darthvaderny]

Does anyone know when the vid was made, Kinda looks old, Maybe within 10 years or so, I,m just curious.

[ninja6kid]

They cut out the beggining where the black guy smokes a rock of crack before the race.

find the real version

[uberdose]

@ninja6kid It wasn't crack. So, no, I didn't cut out anyone smoking crack. I have a link to the 'real' version prominently displayed.

[MrOatmealguy]

@uberdose hey your song is amazing.this the only vversion i could watch without creakin because of the song lol.

[uberdose]

@MrOatmealguy Thank you :)

[tacopatty]

if my bmx could go faster id be smashing on these dudes, hoppin over cars n shit

[TheNYCutube]

@tacopatty you wouldn't even make it pass the first truck go back to riding trick bikes on your cul de sac

[bluemountaindrivepae]

Bicycle messengers are weirdos. They wear tights and BDU shorts.I was a messenger 8 years in Pittsburgh and am not a dirty street punk. Who would hire a dirty street punk. We do stink because cycling makes you sweat.

[latuman]

They are basicly relying that EVERYONE ELSE EXCEPT THEM obeys the traffic laws and brakes and avoids them.

I might just open a door by accident if I saw one of those retards flying past.

[fathomthisss]

@latuman yeah, fuck them really. 'oh I'm on a bike so I'll just fucking fly through a red light into traffic moving perpendicular to me..'

[teklaterra]

twitter race

[rafal123jajo]

w polsce juz by kazdy miał przejebane za takie wyczyny.Ja dostałem za przekroczenie przedkosci o ledwie 15km/h 100zl beznadzieja

[holligan234]

EXELENTE VIDEO PARA LOS QUE AMAMOS LA ADRENALINA SOBRE RUEDAS Y PEDALES YO AKI EN CHICAGO PRACTICO PARA LLEGAR ASER TAN CABRON COMO ELLOS EXELENTE VIDEO FELICITACIONES

[Theitisme400]

Come near me on one of them things and you're going flying...

[BrunBalls]

3 things - firstly driving in NYC seems to be a pointless activity, secondly the life expectancy of cyclists cant be that long and thirdly , if you came past me on a pdestrian crossing I'd just have to drag your ass off that bike - just couldn't help myself :-)

[TheNYCutube]

@BrunBalls 3 things

1st. Much of the traffic that you see comes from the various suburban types who belive they drive like cab drivers

2nd Im still riding and living

3rdly Um well you could do that but just remember I have a big ass chain lock tied around me....Stop looking up at the buildings

[madrevangod]

lunatics haha

[madrevangod]

lunatics

[pooohz]

This is very bad. Disobeying all the rules of cycling in the city.

[pollatso]

thank you so much for this vid soo good respect to camera man...

[vaporkillz]

cool but just seems like a bitch to ride through

[CornyBum]

I love this video. I continue to watch it from time to time and get pumped up to get out and ride. I'm a beginner bicycle commuter and find bicycle messengers to be so cool and inspiring, though I don't support the apparent disregard for traffic laws. They just seem so badass to me though, and I look forward to getting a road bike as my next bike and moving quickly in traffic like these guys can. Thanks very much for a great video and sweet music to go along with it.

[SkrebasS]

full andrenalin. gosh, that's awesome

[Lebienvenu]

all this biker are not in brakeless ?

[evanrkg]

great video and great music!

[emothanz]

haha i ride like this in streets and yesterday i got an accident luckily i did not got any injury........but i really love biking.....it just fuked my front wheel......

[Minkey6]

And yet we complain that it's an unsafe to bike in the city? These bikers are insanely reckless and have no regard for even pedestrians.

With that said, this is some awesome shit.

[Dennissays]

This is not cool, these guys are asshole jackasses.

[DougFCKNSteele]

I like the song.

[Redoralive]

Looks like fun, a little bit of Vietnam traffic.

Can't condone it though.

[Wonton118]

@Redoralive haha yeah imagine road biking in Vietnamese traffic? Chaotic

[siddycool1]

I think these guys are some of the best cyclists in the world. Not only do they have freakin AWESOME skills, but they have the courage and mental abilities aswell.

A huge thumbs up to everyone who's a messenger, luck to you all, you've my respect. Well done messengers!

[JM111787]

that was pretty impressive but i looks like a very scary job

[Rensedeboer]

Love riding like this, love the tune aswell!

Great video, thanks :)

[FreedomIsPriced]

at 3:30 Holy Crap tat was i tight one :O

[patrshie]

wow all new yorkers wear black

[RoyalJackofSpades]

lols only in the winter man. Scientifically it makes sense =]

[patrshie]

sun doesnt reach them with all those skyskrapers.

A colorful outfit creates smiles, which warms the heart, and ultimatly warming the body.

So a warmer outfit would be a colorful one over a black one. New yorkers always look like they are attending a funeral.

[Abdelhak92izi]

i fuck all ,bitchs

[uberdose]

@ Abdelhak92izi: It's not often that one sees this level of eloquence stated in such brevity. You, sir, have a command of the English language that I can only aspire to, but will likely never reach. Keep making your parents proud. "i fuck all ,bitchs," indeed.

[Abdelhak92izi]

im not english ,and you like this offenders ???? ,im sure police is agree with me.

[MeningsMod]

@Abdelhak92izi

"Jeg vil i seng med de fleste, mænd og kvinder, heste grise køer og får"

Song by Det Brune Punktum

[uberdose]

@MeningsMod Ha! Pro tip: discretion is the better part of valor! :-)

[joeprice010]

why do i see this video all over youtube with different titles everytime?

[ShiyanVladimir93]

It is russia!!

[ShiyanVladimir93]

это очень круто , у нас в россии это не распространено

[Ursenfuns]

3:27 ...???

How he's done that? Was he flying?

[GeoffB123]

dude, wtf? seriously...

[jadedpeppers]

this one makes my heart race its a must see music is great is it a love story with the bikers?

[santosa360]

If ya got medical insurance ya might not wanna post this one on your Facebook! Cool video all around. Don't get smooshed out there.

[shorerydr10]

so crazy when the guy is holding onto the car...

[radicalevolutions]

i used to be a bike messenger in manhattan and i tell you something it's not an easy job. You have to be fast, and think fast. its non stop

[SANDYWHEAT]

It's a JUNGLE out there. I feel bad for the FedEx guys :(

Great Video and Music! We're sitting on your shoulders man!!!

[skexee]

This is cool

[19DeeKay76]

@ fmflores

In Hamburg (Germany) an average bike messenger earn about €120-150 a day (~7hours)

[JostStudios]

brutto (-;

[19DeeKay76]

yep

[Hals]

bullshit?

[fmflores2000]

I just wonder howmuch an average bike messenger gets paid. Anyone knows?

[OberonRacing]

Not much.

[FuRExX]

@fmflores2000 i saw in another video about 50$ on a bad day and 200$ on a good day. but the guy who said that was one of the best.

[datkoolbrutha]

Not as much as years passed.Average messenger can make anywhere from $150-$400.More if they're fast and depending on how much work they get.

[verofeny1]

@fmflores2000

if you do for the money i think you dont go messenger. partys, friends, alleycat....

in hungary netto 402 euro a month or less :-)

[fmflores2000]

Amazing riders

[funkeddown]

Hats of to the BMW dude!!!!!!!!!!!! The right balance of brass ones and skill.

[xMAZNYx]

I love NYC

[abcdrcill1]

Its NOT a crackpipe!

...It's a cannabis-pipe obviously.

and there's nothing wrong with that.

[socolax91]

That guy holding on to that BMW was sick!!!

[nirvanarock93]

this is crazzzyy

but i love it, always wanted to cycle through NYC

[datkoolbrutha]

You would definitely love it.Just watch the yellow cabs,lol!

[mtb416]

The joys of crystal meth. I guess?

[80miles]

@mtb416 ..So all the people that run the NY marathon are all meth addicts or crack heads? Man shut the hell up!! Have you ever rode a bike? It's called FUN. This is the best biking video I have ever seen! Those bikers must have balls of steel. Thanks for sharing this!!

[mtb416]

Calm down dude. Not to burst your bubble, but the dude at the very beginning takes a hit from a crackpipe and stuffs it into his pocket.

There are many versions of this exact video on YouTube, and obviously whoever posted this particular version decided to edit out the second before where you can clearly see a glass pipe.

As for me riding, I've been around.

take it easy

[MagicMan2444]

Good exercise :]

[TheRealMario46]

Woot Epic! Love these bike messengers! =]

[SteelkiltX]

'Word to my son....'

dig riding in the city with trafffic. u get in2 a kind of zone...u bcum very aware of yur environment.

Nice job LB and Chris.

[hateash101]

is that called fearless?!?!? i will stik a camera on MY road bike ... my standard cyclin iz mental compared 2 dis weak shit

[OberonRacing]

do it and make it a video response!

[80miles]

@hateash101 ...No shit!!! Make a video instead of bitchin'

[pocoyokun]

these guys are fearless!

[OberonRacing]

Woah. Skills.

[pboisei]

i found the website through stumbleupon....love this. too bad i can t do this in texas.

[CAZPERsayz]

fucking awesome dude

i just started being a messenger

probably the youngest heh -CAz ny

[wazztie16]

You lot are fucking mad-heads. But i love you for it :). I'm definetly gonna try and get this done sometime

[drmrdan]

before i biked in the city, i thought this was suicide. then i bought a bike and started commuting daily by bike. the more i bike in the city. the more i love it. knowing that im faster than cars is satisfying.

[collathrax]

hopefully i'll be forgiven for my ignorance but are alot of these bikes the ones that don't have any brakes?

[uberdose]

You're right. They're fixies.

[m0thersuperi0r76]

@uberdose You see like 9 guys coasting in this thing.

[IRactus]

awesome!

[dasilha]

um how not to cycle through a town, they don't hit anything, I would be stoked to do this

[Hanowair]

Dangerous and anti-social.

[mpshatesyou]

Wow it's just plain terrifying and exhilarating at the same watching this video !

[TimpBizkit]

How not to cycle through town

[RastaLippi]

Could anyone tell me what type of road bar has the guy at 3:00 on the right, in the blue jacket? thanks

[dudefromlondon]

i get so annoyed when guys on bike ride in the middle of the road, even got in to trouble with one,but you guys are really crazy:)!!!

[maddfurey]

i'm over 60 and ride most days and i think that you are much more likely to get run over if you obey the so called bicycling laws. you have to ride using common sense,usually developed thru riding experience, which means you have to break the law to improve your chances of survival.(and it's more fun too)

[souslesbombes]

Well you mean in the US. While in some civilised countries city planners and lawmakers do think about cyclists before making choices. I guess you will never attain that in the US if you alienate pedestrians and motorists with that kind of riding...

[fwynn]

Amen to that!

[m0thersuperi0r76]

3:27 was a tight squeeze for our camera man, I get nervous when it gets that tight

[Douger4u777]

Riding a bike is the best!!! Everyone should own some type of bike...Peace to all

[apm5060]

this is what gives cyclists a bad rep: riding like idiots

[Whutdafuh]

haha...was that sarinya's voice in the end?

[rr92890]

This is bad ass

[karoslif]

those are nice riding fast song's, i'm gonna get them on my mp3 and go out riding fast, i hope i don't kill myself

[sicknastystuff220]

thats some sick stuff that takes balls

[twinysix]

What happened to the Original Video with the Original music? and want was the name of the Original Song?

[Vulturer]

thankx so much for posting this!!!

[retardno002]

I just wish more people would ride bikes. Cars are starting to get a bit outdated and... too many! Imagine that you can fit 4 bikers at least on the surface of an average car. Now that's clear roads!

[HeavenLeighMe]

Yeah. I agree.

And I also wanna add in that horses would be pretty cool, too.

Everyone would just be galloping on a horse going to work in their suits and what not.

[dsan1]

It is amazing, how the same thing can be so dangerous, irresponsible and boring at the same time.

[alienmode]

LOL!

[0FauxPa0]

bitter at the world much? to fat to ride a bike? no one loves you?

GG

[dsan1]

Booooooring!

[dsan1]

boooooring

[Ishvires]

Very very very nice , AWESOME

[forgotyoured]

people think this is crazy on bicycles lol do it on a motorcycle where i used to live people did the same on motorcycles!

[jandroid66]

Haven't done anywhere near anything like this, but let myself be inspired by it, with sort of dangerous results. ;-)

The most intense video I've seen!

[Nosemeocurreunnick]

But... I LIKE IT! INSANE! :D

[Nosemeocurreunnick]

They're crazy...

[drexelur1]

Leave it to New Yorkers to turn bicycling-a quiet relaxing activity-into something crazy, fast, insane, and extreme. But that's NYC for you!

[SiloAivo]

what would happen if Nico Bellic would be there?

[saberhead13]

Skilled riders!

[djleodjleo]

mad sick i wanna ride like that one day im in westchester county

[crissssby]

were they using fixies? cos i was kinda unsure, but when he was going downhill, he took his feet of the pedals. was that the reason?

[MacedonianWarior]

Nice driving, insane!!!!!!!! 5*

[carbonrrpilot]

damn, them dudes were get'n it in!!! NICE!!

[amoglo67]

I´m cyclist, too...but not stupid...risk yourself in a closed track, not risk other people...you deserve a suddenly open gate!

[BeretCyclist]

While i agree in this isn't exactly the smartest way to ride, its damn fun. All about pushing it to the limit and doing what no one else can or has the balls to do.

[amoglo67]

All you do without putting others in risk, pushing your own limits, it´s great; but people crossing the street don´t seem very funny, what if someone get´s damage crashed by these? Your little son, your wife, you...so sure you don´t look exactly as "fun".

[BeretCyclist]

I agree with you completly..

But lets go into the technicality of it. People who want to ride in new york city KNOW how to ride. Someone who isn't comfortable on a bicycle does not think to themselves..."I want to go play in NYC traffic."

[Junr34]

that look soo much fun!!

[PINKYPORVIDA]

insane i love it

[DubKingTubby]

awesome!

[AntiRascist]

WTF? DRAG RACE? It's an alleycat?!

[uberdose]

Lucas Brunelle, the guy who filmed this, participated in this alleycat. "Drag race" is the name he gave his movie. I kept the name.

[benjipalmer3000]

These guys are the most hardcore urban street cyclists I have ever seen. You just have to love this stuff.

[tollerRanz]

amazing...inspiring...motivati­ng

[lilmobop]

As a sportbike rider.. i give these guys props!

[Jkub101]

fun!

[Filedll]

man.. 3:29 was tight..also lolz at the guy on the end XD

[RedNativeRose]

omg! this video was more frightening than the biggest rollercoaster ive ever ridden...you kidding me? thats nuts!

[shiftlessxl]

You know, these guys get pretty fucking far pretty fucking fast. Cities should be way more bike friendly.

[genericvideo1]

Crazy!

[TimZZR]

I almost died a million times on the road on my bike, roads are different in the uk, not all straight. You get crazy downhills and holes in the road then a stupid up hill. Then a fuckin chav who can't drive runs over you, i should put a video camera on my bike.

[motorruben]

what did he do to the bus, at 4:34?

[UNCLEDOOTY]

GREAT RIDING

[danizzeman]

NEVILE BLOODY BARTOSS

[ChameleonDave]

This is Jackass on bikes!

[boltonmerlin]

Lengends.... All of you...

[raneroc]

Do you remember the "happy messenger". The guy who rode around waving and smiling at everyone? He was ridiculous.

[boltonmerlin]

Ha.. no, I am from Manchester UK.. Only had the chance to see NY 3 times..

[dilipramadas]
