Don't get too caught up in the fact that they cut off some cars, broke some laws, just enjoy the helmet cam footage of these crazy bastards zipping around New York City. This is how these folks are able to earn a living delivering stuff in NYC. They really make using a car in the city look slow!
I'd like to see a high quality version.

Keep riding. I was thinking a similer thing but more along the lines of, that would suck to have one of those dicks go by and scrape your car. I am sure it is not a what if but a when.

That video was awesome, Parrot! Ha!

The original video - saw that once before. Yeah, those guys are nuts.

I went to college with a guy who used to be a bike messenger in Seattle. Probably not as insane as these guys, but still pretty nuts none the less...

The only thing missing from the video is all the yelling that those guys are doing while they are riding through traffic/pedestrians.

And forget seeing it in HD, just come to NY and watch the insanity live. I cant even recall how many times ive almost been hit by one of those guys, but in each case the rider was very apologetic about the near incident.

That was cool, some of those near-misses were intense, guess you gotta have good reflexes.

As far as parrot's vid goes, anytime sparks fly when riding anything motorized on a street, it can't be good. And the flip at the end seemed very... gay. Nothing is sadder than watching a man ride his spark-flying scooter with a dismount that would make a male-gymnast proud.

Looks like so much fun. Who wants to go do it with me?
