I spent most of the first half of my life in NYC and much of that on the subway. Mad props to everyone associated with this video, especially the videographer. I don't know if you all can appreciate that he had to be right there with every one of those skateboarders while keeping the shot composed and watching where he was going at the same time! I bet he cracked his head more than once. This is beautiful and everyone should see it.
WOW!!!! AWESOME!!!! This video is DOPE!!!! . . . WOW! Precise Timing indeed. This is just a kick ass bEAST coast video, tks for sharing. Graffiti Artists with skateboards as their paint, yeah man!
That's a seriously primitive subway system they have in NYC if the voltage from the rail can kill you... I'm from Vancouver and you won't die if you fall on the tracks, there's even been situations where people try to commit suicide by getting ran over by the Skytrain, but most of the time they get rescued before it happens, and the voltage does nothing to them...
I don't know, all I know is that i've actually seen with my eyes people in the tracks before, and have heard of it multiple times. (Last time i've actually seen someone in the tracks was years ago, but someone I know is a security guard and they've gotten calls from the police about people being in the tracks)
TheShayRetards I know a multitude of graffiti writers who paint subway systems and I can tell you that whilst touching the third rail can kill you it mostly leaves you with a fairly extensive burn.
In most subway systems made mid 20th century they operate by a third electric rail the silver shiny normal track is fine is the black unmarked real that's the killer, it's not primitive is the reason why monorails and other higher grade rail systems exist they just run on top of the electric rail instead of alongside it

Anybody else catch the "Fremont train transfer at Bayfair station" sound bite at the end of the clip. Pretty sure none of this was shot on BART platforms.
this was cool and all but i don't like what they did at the end when they were inside the conductors station and messing with knobs/levers. For all we know that could have been the door controls and someone could have been leaning on the doors (i always do that, until the train has stopped and i know its about to open).
Nice! Darwin award 2:29. At the end It's obvious they are in the last car, leaving the station. They should have filmed/edited in reverse. Would have been much cooler. Still awesome
that downhill cruise inbetween all those people walking was so fun to watch
yeah, had to play it over and over again
The skaters are good but the camera operator is outstanding.
davekingpt the camera operators of skating videos are like the smoothest camera operators i feel like

Dat platform transfer :-|
You kids are crazy as hell, but I love you for this.
This gets me beyond hyped for living in NYC next year.
This is sick,how come that cops didnt appear at some part of the video?
Either do it really late or know the patrol patterns of a given station
I can't believe it! *InstaPhamous. COM*
Josh Nyc is my favorite city to skate in bro i go there every year homie!
punk
Beautiful. I really needed that today. Thank you so much for being freedom.
That third rail jump gave you dudes a sick amount of publicity! All over my damn facebook about how "unsafe" it is.
Keep ridin fellas!
What the gap?
This looks so visually stunning. I don't know how you pulled it off without getting caught by the authorities.
Having waited for NYC subway trains for years, that ollie at the end absolutely blew my mind.
that gap at the end from platform to platform was gold , top stuff and some set of balls , 3rd rail dodging skills too .
I bought the dvd, it is so sick. Buy it! Support independent skate vids like this because they are brilliant.
I almost shed a tear.
Love the retro look and vibe. They make the tricks look so steezy and simple.
THIS VIDEO IS BEYOND AMAZING, the gyms that captured and edited MAD RESPECT!!!!
That ender was unbelievable, he could've died if he hit the 3rd rail
Legendary! Firs i thought this was old footage. Didn't think this possible to do in NYC after 9/11. Great clip!!
This is too good.
Man a lot of people have tried this.. but this unreal.. so much balls
I have the DVD and I have rewatched this section sooooooo many times! :D
That line from 1:20 to 1:30 done nicely. And that gap jump was sweet.
my god. this was amazing
Awesome stunts, very professional movements, added to our Talented People Channel 2.
So good. Nice to see some style for once.
This film is incredible on all levels. Well fucking done.
The pedestrians seemed pretty chill about what was going on
they've seen crazier shit..
Skate Invaders nyers have the ballingest day every day,
Who would 'dislike' this!? Absolutely great edit!! Sick!!!!
Maybe the mtainfo Channel XD
Good point haha
I love the echo-y sound of skateboard on smooth (and sometimes bumpy cus of the lines) concrete in the subway stations
Holy smokes, that ollie at the end
WOW!!!! AWESOME!!!! This video is DOPE!!!! . . . WOW! Precise Timing indeed. This is just a kick ass bEAST coast video, tks for sharing. Graffiti Artists with skateboards as their paint, yeah man!
Nice video guys. I really enjoyed the sound design!
yup. these guys win. NYC4LIFE
@Bill Strobeck 👀👀🍵🍵 THIS is how you film a subway gap ender
Great video guys! Love the style.
That was so fucking rad blew my head right off
Reminds me everytime I go into Boston
Sick, y'all. Nice Bay Area reference at the end @ 2:57
some one give this camera man an award
At least they were having fun on Go Skateboarding Day. I was (and still am) recovering from an ankle injury.
This is so street... rad ollie at the end !
Dayum! 2:32 had me gasping! Steer clear the 3rd rail!!!
I searched ollie over railroad crossing and this did not disappoint.
Big Up To You Tengu Great Skating Respect.
the most intense 3 minutes of my life
Omg I almost shat brix on 2:29 when he almost touched that third rail :ooo
Fire Edit bros!!! good stuff

It was built in the 1800s so yep, it's still got some primitive aspects.
I don't know, all I know is that i've actually seen with my eyes people in the tracks before, and have heard of it multiple times.

2:39 had me like whaaaaaaaat this kid crazzy.... I probably would eat dirt if I tried that
...I think i want to start skating again.
Love the look of this vid!
simply amazing!!!
looking foward on this..
I wanna see you skate on the 3rd rail if you're so good.
Masterpiece!
holy shit. so good.
2:30 damn so lucky nearly touch the third rail!!
OUT OF CONTROL!
Great vid men!
dat ollie tho.. what a nutter
Props to Cameraman
Thats so crazy, how did they not get in any trouble?
Nice edit
now i know how I'm getting to college tomorrow
amazing video
Colin how did you manage to get into the conductor's car to film that last clip?
Hacks
Only came here for the track gap. Shit was sick, came pretty close to third railin it though.
Anybody else catch the "Fremont train transfer at Bayfair station" sound bite at the end of the clip. Pretty sure none of this was shot on BART platforms.
In the full DVD, this section transitions into a San Francisco subway skating section at that point.
Colin Read nice.....comment was based solely on the clip here, might pick up the DVD to see the bart portion
Nice work :)
the vid is maaaad cool.
where can I buy a print of the railroad track Ollie????
You can buy one here: store.43magazine.com/product/koki-loaiza-ollie-pigment-print-225-425
Colin Read thx for the info.
woww this was fucking wild
The ollie is just so fucked...
I have a suspicion that Colin will be getting a visit from the NYPD very soon.

Skate everything except that 3rd Rail!
So sick
super sick
awesome
Nice!
Darwin award 2:29.
At the end It's obvious they are in the last car, leaving the station. They should have filmed/edited in reverse. Would have been much cooler.
Still awesome

I'm calling the cops on you subway hooligans.
Anyone know what those red and white new balances were?

my favourite was 2:09
How come the trains are so empty?
real skateboarding.
i won'na go NYC but my fear of tall builds don't help :( loved the video tho
no third rail? did I miss something
yes he was like one inch from it when he fell
the third rail kinda blends in with the floor
