when it’s raining too hard, when you’re tired, when you’re stuck at school, when you want to get inspired… the list goes on
possibly the first fixed gear video i’ve seen that didn’t seem completely jackass, this despite the word “fixie”
the FIXIE from Sheldon Smart on Vimeo.
Call me old fashioned, but I am way more into race videos than videos of people skidding and doing tricks. Is there any point in posting the old lucas brunelle videos, or has everyone already seen them?
Yes, there’s a point.
[quote=blurbike]yes? no? maybe so?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TKNqhuqOYk[/quote]i really enjoyed this one. reminded me of that Mirrors Edge game on xbox360.
I think of mirrors edge a courier game
I think this is the first video I ever watched of messenger/city riding.

It was soon followed by this, which was the only race video he had on the site at the time.

Then came the stuff that really hit me hard. Drinking and racing came out right after I got my first bike. I would watch it right before my ride home from work to get me pumped up. I’m really lucky I didn’t kill myself at that point.

After that came the first Rumble Through the Bronx and the Drag Race.

I blame these videos for me riding like an asshole for several years before I calmed down.
Here’s all the rest of his stuff.

3:30-ish is comedy
i love those messenger race videos. watching people do tricks is horrible
lucas brunelle is a fucking badass.
Yea, watching people skid around really isn’t all that interesting, all be damned if I don’t love brunelle’s videos though.
dude skitched the moped for awhile. what an asshole.
I thought he was cool until the video where he hits someone’s sideview mirror and rides away while they chase after him.

That was a lame, but shit like that happens in a race. He’s no worse than the majority of the people he films. It’s still better than the mash and mash copycats who go fuck around in traffic for no reason whatsoever.
I’ve always had lots of problems with the way a lot of people ride. I make myself feel better by thinking that if these people were in cars or on motorcycles, they’d probably be doing the same level of idiotic stuff, but they’d be more likely to kill someone.
i would do the same thing…i mean, if i’m really in a rush somewhere, fuck everything else, i’ve got shit to do, places to go…i barely even notice anything other than that goal exists.
idk, I’m not a proponent of vehicular cycling or anything and I have no problem whatsoever with people riding like jackasses or disobeying the law because that’s what I do on a daily basis, but if I was liable for damage done to someone’s car I would definitely stop and make things right. be good to your fellow men/women!
