Just because they didn't actually hit people on camera when they did their very clear crosswalk violations does not mean this is remotely safe. And I'm pretty sure if anyone actually did get hit, it would've been edited out of any video.

Like I said before, these guys flow like explosive diarrhea, they're splattering all over the place. There's no skill there I can respect, I don't think evading obstacles at speed is very difficult. By not having brakes and putting this in a highly populated area with a bunch of foot traffic, they're just artificially putting themselves into a situation where they won't have a chance to correct their errors without actually injuring a bystander. You've got instances where one rider is passing a pedestrian right in front of her while one passes right behind her, the best those riders can do is guess how she's going to react in that situation. She's an involuntary meat pylon, put at risks she hasn't volunteered for, and they have no right to impose on her. If staging these events in this manner isn't criminal, it should be.

Staging an illegal no brakes competition in a dense urban area is disgusting. You can't condone this and pretend you give a rat's behind about pedestrian safety.

Quit posting these crap videos.
