TAG - bike messengers vs skater

[AustinRiba]

Ride down the stairs, wimp.

[cmanclan101]

for the people saying "bikes are faster than skates"...

bitch, have you worn hockey skates?

[kubekowskik]

Amazing video, v well done + good music, THANX

[kubekowskik]

Amazing video, v well done + good music, thanx



[SvalbardJanMayen1976]

at 3:24, it says "Bloomsbury Square" and "secured", as a former messenger in the states, what does that mean? Secure parking?

[raw0ats]

dude skates like a faggot

[xXSPOOKERxX]

dammmmm this shit owns

[NattySupertramp]

Skaters still aren't popular then!

[MiddLeSkoolChrisT1n]

The skayer should pick up free running.

[xman51000]

PLEASE excuse the language.........Fuck that shit was the coolest thing I have seen on Youtube! Who did this is a FUCKIN genius and both skater and bikers are the shit!!!! I will be watching this fuckin thing every day and just saying shit shit shit shit shit!!!!!

[RoubaixTalonLager]

Great vid!

[Shegal1535]

I think uphill, down hill and on open ground the biker wins every time, but an in liner can duck in a shop, turn on a dime, and go in suer high density areas....not to mention he's narrow...goe where a bike won't fit or isn't allowed (narrow alley or a shop/store) keep him downtown till you lose him, I think chicken little could escaepe!

[TheYouSphere]

Amazing shooting, great score, but sort of piontless? Or did I miss something? He is chased by the bikers and then what happens?  Why are they chasing him? Do they catch him? Where's the point of the film? It's too open ended.

[ecaroh]

Chicken little has got some sweet moves!

[superhank26]

fixies are the new rollerblades

[tommyogtigern]

@superhank26 i was about to type "fixies are the the new fruit boots"

[XxC411UMxX]

Not even sure why, But this video is amazing

[hoah]

makes me want to ride and skate. brilliant.

[HeyImKli4d]

So is it that Skates aren't as fast but are much more maneuverable?

[auzio]

this is so quality 

[Urhoboman5]

What's the background song?

[threevolts]

original score by gigamesh

[brapboys503]

That blader got some skill.

[1916251442899]

lets see him go to ny

[feilovevv]

cool~



[foxytr900]

i dont get it, cool, but not sure why theres a chase :S

[teenagerockstar303]

This somewhat reminds me of the game Mirrors Edge. Anyone play that game? It's pretty awesome :D Plus, me being a cyclist, I think this does show the true beauty of the sport :D

[lamax3eme]

woow! :)

[remo2009]

this is an intense chase. just think if it was all skates or vice versa.

[andperpag86]

the elusive skater... bravo

[RageBiker1]

Man the skater is fit!

[Jared543]

Im a former skater and now a full time cyclist and this video shows off both sports beautifully..loved the video!

[NardAhoy]

wat a vid

[MRift04]

I bloody love this film - definately a fave.

[why693]

sorry man didnt mean to hit the thumbs down, was supposed to be a thumbs up!

[dennisthemenace0WNS]

God man, imagine if the rollerblader slipped.

Ouch.

[Byolk]

i would totally eat shit if i were to do that on a fixie or blades

[RyuOtera]

I don't understand the skater vs rollerblader thing. After watching this video, I'm def a blade fan. Anyone doing anything athletic whether for thrills, fun competition, or for "therapy" gets respect from me. I love watching this guy do his thing. He hauls the fucking mail!

[darkvaderjr]

wow amazing. how did u learn to skate like that.

[USMC77777]

Not really a rollerblading fan but this awesome

[nepaaiskinamas]

Very cool video.Nice filming.:)

[badassmofo222]

what have also just added some ump to this is like a chase scene through like one of those mini mall thingys they got in london and then at about 2 10 ish is if the biker just straight hops the stair case , that would be sick as hell !!

[trantzmediadesign]

3:14 - real courier would've gone through the traffic

[badassmofo222]

whats a courier ?

[guitarristarob154]

a bike messenger

[Robot300]

a bike messenger,

[cocacola443]

Someone who delivers something. :)

[shaokem]

True!

[DrumKiddo13]

great video. didnt expect that

[lolsorelosers]

i enjoyed it, thanks

[carbonrrpilot]

kick ass vid... well done!!

btw... i woulda ran that skater down with the quickness!! lol

[uspattys]

Excellent film , pity it hadnt been 'set up' at the start with a motive for the chase which would have given the short a purpose. You need a script writer mate...

[carlosfarva]

Films aren't all about story. Some are for art or even beauty.

[uspattys]

famous last words. Its a nice vid but its style over content and as a director for the past twenty years I know that content rules unless youre happy to be a member of the audience all your life.

[carlosfarva]

You say that, but from your videos it looks like you are a director for corperations and company adverts. There's a world of difference between adverts, holly wood and short films.

[uspattys]

Its for that very reason I ended up making commercials which are all about style over content. I made the same mistake when I was a young cameraman It was all about 'beauty and art' for me unfortunately thats not enough if you want to get on in film. You have to dig deeper. The Courier vid would be so much greater if there was a story, its not a big deal its just a missed opportunity thats all. I know so many producers who would look at it and say "Yeah, looks pretty but means zip.."

[carlosfarva]

Okay yeah, I can see where you'fe coming from. This would actually look really good as an advert.

[uspattys]

errr,,, which is exactly what it is. Its a piece of 'Branded film-making' look at the sponsors at the end. Its what a lot of companies want now instead of old fashioned ads. And whats more they dont want a story as it detracts from the end sponsor or 'gets in the way'. Thats what separates it from being a proper short film with a narrative structure.

[bensbike]

I just wanna say that this is the most respectful banter I've ever read on youtube. Im very encouraged to see people not calling each other names. Being able to see it from another perspective. Kudos

[shaokem]

"Oh shut the fuck up!!!" HAHAHA!!! JUST KIDDING... KIDDING!!! I agree with ya... youtube seems to be the number 1 place for armchair elitist. It is nice to see actual comments on the subject matter and not name calling. latez

[DirtWorks2008]

HAHA! You wished...

[Spex530]

that was a sick video hella tight

[EmpiresBane]

Both require physical demands. Both are great cardio. Those who one is better than other... You try the other and then say it sucks, because you can't do it.

Anyway. Video was good.

[Kharmaireth]

How the hell did you guys plan your shots.

[deadwarlunck]

lol bikers vs roller skaters lol i was think skateboarders the sk8boarding rules!!!! ah and the skater boarding have more tricks than rollers and bikers

[Tedz59p]

@deadwarlunck I say Biking for the win. Simply because, more chance to to vary tricks, and a biek can go almost anywherem where as skateboarders need kinda smooth path

[717chris1]

@Tedz59p i agree

[Caseybat94]

@Tedz59p except hes using inline skates and not a skateboard? fail much?

[Tedz59p]

@Caseybat94 whoa I wrote that ages ago,I think Iw as gonig ona about skateboards and bikes in a totally differnt covnersation. So shush.

[xavked]

Amazing vid :)

[savether]

Wow the skater is amazing!!!!

[jinglemybells262]

what would have happened if the biker caught him?

[pietroplatania]

well done!

[andymx14]

i think this vid is great and bikers rule the road and skaters are crap i could of well caurt him im an xc racer and iv ran plenty of skaters off the road took over skateparks on the wirral uk

[Kharmaireth]

Aggro dude. How 'bout we all chill, we all have our preferences and differences. I'm sure some skaters could wipe some bikers off the wall and vice versa. Hell, it's all wheels, let's protest against something more useful like Popstars instead.

[KACHOWKEITH]

GREAT

TOTALLY AWESOME

[deadisvideo]

Bollocks! I was trying to heckle "emantle" and "EVER415" for their lame brain comments below, but I failed! Epically. Now my brain is lame. That's karma for me. I still like the movie though.

[spatiotemporal]

Too long. Bad pacing (monotonous). I'm left with the thought "what was all that about?"

[Catlicker101]

As a fellow biker AND rollerblader...5stars! Very well done! Hope to see more! Was on edge of my seat the whole time. Would love to see this produced in NYC. Props to you! Great job!

[dalirocks12]

excellent

[Mcl0vin11]

good job to everyone who made this video it's fucken awesome

[rooTinger]

great job ;o)

[andoflutuando]

this video is AWESOME!!!

:D

[djtektalus]

nice production!

[emantle]

Couriers stopping for traffic lights? Fail.

[EVER415]

EPIC fail. lol. im not a messenger and i dont even stop for lights but only at really big intersections, where if u go there no way ure not gettin hit.

[deadisvideo]

Um, what about the cars whizzing past? No wait, let me guess, you don't stop for lights 'cause traffic stops for you. It's a cool vid. Your brain is an epic fail.

[nicksaysits420]

that was sweet

[pulsar131180]

absolutely nice!

[drainslug]

very nice =]

[REDIREG]

The best film about roller and bike. Good job

[Toxin08]

awesome show

great job

[SkApIgLiAtoJuGgLe]

yeah.

[rash797]

Brilliant vid.

[batdoguk]

Brilliant stuff. Takes me back to my cycle courier days in London in the late 90's.

[cherogreen]

this is incredible stuff

[mecklera]

YEA!!

[Fatkaty]

nice vid!

[magnatom]

Excellent footage. With a couple of explosions and a few 'baddies' being flattened by buses you would have a Bond chase there! ;-)

[lsmike]

I think you probably mean the one posted under my username "Skaters vs Bike Courier", which was a rough edit?

I've linked to this video in the about as this is the final version. It's cool, I like this edit a lot too.

[onabulletride]

nevermind found it.

[onabulletride]

This is a fantastic video, but i remember seeing a black and white version with much more fitting music. Anyone know where i can get ahold of that version?it was deleted from youtube awhile ago.

[car1edb]

yeep, thats what am talking about!! :)
