    WOW. Those guys actually had some skills, though...the one move that the guy makes to avoid rear-ending the taxi cab was nice.

    A lot of balls and very little brains.

    meh road bike racing is pretty overrated, but some parts of that was pretty insane(no helmets..wtf :( ). notice how they didnt drive into the bad areas of NYC, cuz if they did, they probably would've gotten shot up or ran over by some thug in an escalade with uzzis and what not, GTA style. if you want some real insane biking footage, get New World Disorder 5,6, many ways to get it without paying ;)

    wow. i don't know how they managed to not hit the side-view mirrors on any of those cars, considering they barely had any room as it was. and their ability to go in between people was very nice.

    just an average day for a New York City bicycler...
    biking is so much faster than riding in a car, or even a subway for that matter...



    and what bad areas of NYC have you been through? they covered alot of manhattan and parts of Queens, I think they were up in Harlem for a minute...

    my friend's parents owns a place in parkchester, near the chinese super market there, that place is pretty rough IMO. i grew up in washington heights actually, west 171 st, near the 3 Columbia towers, and also the hospital. i dont believe harlem is that dangerous, at least not around 125th street at the A train station, i've been there a lot and its pretty nice. the bronx is pretty ghetto other than riverdale....

    Someone posted a link to some groups web site before that had all of their races up for download and that was one of them. There was another fun race where they had to drink a 40oz at all the check points. It was great.

    Does anyone remember that thread or what web site it is.

    I've never been one to advocate violence, but those guys kind of deserved to end up as roadkill.
