Dude, you broth the quality of these videos to the max. I have no idea how you are doing it, i wish i did, but at the end it doesn't matter. The point is it look so cinematic and beautiful and the good sound is just a cherry on top of the cake. You truly put some special editing sauce to make this experience complete. Thank you for the amazing work @Terry !
Petru B. Ohhh trust me it's not that easy, i know what he uses to record all of this. There is a bit of editing that brings it all together. I have the very same gimbal but i have Hero 3+ Black (no on camera digital IS) so it's still not as smooth as his shots. Also i feel like there is just more of motion blur then what i get. I'm not sure does he have like an ND filter on or is it done in post but it looks different. Non the less it's great work and it's not easy do make this :)
Petru B. You don't understand what i'm talking about. I know exactly what and how he does it and what he uses, except camera settings and how he edits all of it. Capturing all of this is not what confuses me. Helmet, gimbal, GoPro, Audio recorder and most importantly out of this world biking skills. The rest is what i'm wondering about, all the work that happens off the bike :)
Petru B. Cool bro, you just came to the same conclusion i wrote in the original comment. At the end it doesn't matter how he does it, the point is that it's beautiful and very well done.
@@BogiSP Yeah, his videos have the perfect amount of motion blur. He probably shoots ONLY at 24fps and with shutterspeed of 1/50th... and probably does this with an ND filter by PolarPro (Shutter Series) which allows him to shoot at slower shutterspeeds in broad daylight while getting that elusive motion blur... which would normally be missing. :)
Riding in NYC a mere 3 years later is a totally different experience. There are thousands more scooters, mopeds, and e-bikes on the streets competing for limited bike space.
This video is beautiful. I felt the rush that I get from actually riding. And the sound. The sound of simplicity. You've captured riding fixed gear so wonderfully. Thank you.
"I don't need no stinking E bike". Them there is riding skills. I still like riding my bikes in NYC as a tourist but at 68 I can't make those hard sustained climbs like you guys did on the bridge. Absolutely super!🚲🚲🚲
pretty incredible.....totally focused....I rode my dirt bike to work in NYC in the late 70's, and I thought I was doing something.....this is 10 levels above that in pure concentration.....
I love NY and I love riding bikes, awesome content. We used to ride like this here in Buenos Aires but not anymore, we grew old. Thanks for the uploads
I can no longer skateboard or walk anywhere because of my bike lol. I live in Colorado so less traffic but there's still people yelling and honking at me.
Nothing can touch the feeling of no gears & no brakes, when riding a bike. I was a courier in San Diego and some days I rode with a front brake & some days I was brake less. My brake less days were my best. When I wasn't working, I was brake less. I still ride fixed & brake less - Flow'n'
Hey man! I just love you videos - They look amazing and cinematic! I don't even ride bikes but I can't stop watching your vids. It would be nice if you could do like a short video and explain your settings on your camera and also the editing work. Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work!
Starts at at Brooklin Museum and ends at Union Square, 5.4 miles in 15 minutes and 30 seconds, that's over 20 miles an hour, almost 21... (33 km/h) non stop
Find the time and area of his starting point, deduct it from his finishing time.To establish the distance he travelled, find the starting point and finishing point of his journey. You can do this using google maps. The rest is easy, good luck.
I used to do a fraction of this in DTLA about 6 years ago. It was a good rush really gets you pumped and makes you want to go even faster! Death doesnt even occur in your mind tbo its all about being in the moment and for this type of biking you must be aware of everything around you.
That GoPro makes your movements seem so smooth and fluid while Cooper is jetting through traffic all over the place. I know the cammer is too, it's so deceiving lol Thanks for takin us for a ride!
Cooper till this day is the smoothest track bike rider in traffic you ever recorded, he truly knows his own flow and it’s beautiful to seem him dance in traffic like that ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🫀🫀🫀💸💸💨💨🌶🌶
we need to see this camera rig on your head man. I don't know if this is all stabilized in post or what but this is sooooo smooth. and no one in the comments ever talks about that you never look to the sides or down at your bike the camera is always pointed at Cooper and you never even see your fucking bike.
Isn't it funny how different they do it in other countries ? One of my Navy friends lives in Thailand. I encouraged him to bike with me when he came to visit me here in Chicago, but he was afraid to go against the traffic. After living in Thailand for 11 years, driving on the left side of the road, anyone could make a fatal mistake. He refused and I understood.
I hope you find someone that film better... I thinks the people who like your channel will enjoy to see you riding on traffic from a different perspective ... Sorry for my bad english, keep up the good work
@@TerryB Terry you already have tons of Hot lines... It's called biking with best riders not knowing their lines and still staying right with them the whole way..Your a freaking amazing Rider and I think one of the best
Kevin Schart sweet! I ended up buying a real old steel frame with a fixed gear set up a few days after commenting and I do love it. Going to stick with it for a year while I save for something a bit nicer!
@@reeceholden7564 lol That's the exact same thing I told myself. 1 year then I'm upgrading. Got a used steel frame for now. So much more comfortable than aluminum. Gonna try to check in on you a year from now! Cheers!
I'm from the Philippines and watching this it feels like I'm inside the movie and I really appreciate this video because it's my dream to have a fixed gear bike and go ride around the city of Manila to explore. and I'm working really hard to make my dream come true. it is pleasure for me to watch your video cause it's giving me an eagerness to pursue my dream. (don't mind the grammar cause I'm not good at English)
He should be as he's been racing since he was 16 (currently 23 at the time of this video). He's also a former NYC bike messenger, so he knows exactly what he's doing.
Hi! How do you make sure you won't get injured by a car when you cross the roads and the light is red. What's the trick? Do you pray and close your eyes?

My favorite part is when he says "Why risk your life?" and he's being completely un-ironic about it... and I totally get it.
not just his life but others life too, look how he passes on pedestrian lanes
This video is beautiful. I felt the rush that I get from actually riding. And the sound. The sound of simplicity. You've captured riding fixed gear so wonderfully. Thank you.
This is so relaxing and stressful at the same time! New fan here!
we need a cameraman for the cameraman!

the production quality is getting out of this world, this is fantastic, Terry!
That was beautiful! Please keep yourselves alive so I can watch more of these videos, man!
I love the fact that he doesn't worship his bike. It's mostly a tool to his freedom.
Seemed pretty pretentious to me...
@@milkweedreflections because you don't know shitt, little brother. How do you think your comment sounds ? Let's see your video, whenever it's ready.
@Fau Q that's how pretentious know-it-alls comment. Where's your video ? Get back to work.
$2500 hand build frame lol, he worships it
It is to him what an axe is to a lumberjack
Terry this looks like a movie! Extremely cinematic. I wanna see you ride with Massan! He needs to be featured!
Go tell Massan on his IG that he needs to film with me.
That bridge stretch was brutal 😱
pretty incredible.....totally focused....I rode my dirt bike to work in NYC in the late 70's, and I thought I was doing something.....this is 10 levels above that in pure concentration.....
17:15 - 17:25 the cleanest transition I have ever seen.
Someone commented on another of your vids that you should make a movielength video. I agree. I would def watch that!
One day I’ll put these new wide screens in a full film.
I love NY and I love riding bikes, awesome content. We used to ride like this here in Buenos Aires but not anymore, we grew old. Thanks for the uploads
Qué tan viejo?
This is freedom! I thank you cause this is what i am like on foot all out and love the city thanks for treadmill material!
I can no longer skateboard or walk anywhere because of my bike lol. I live in Colorado so less traffic but there's still people yelling and honking at me.
This is so bad ass! My new favorite videos to watch. N dag I love these speeds there getting. I thought my Diamondback haanjo metro was fast lol
You guys are crazy birds. Your element is speed, your goal is movement. Watching this video I flew with you. I wish you good luck, you need it.
always a pleasure to watch.

new york is such a dreamy place to ride a bike so thrilling and dynamic
👱🏻♂️ U MUST BE DRUNK
THese look unreal...great cinematics as always
The commitment in all the decisions and being highly aware of all movement + anticipating is incredible!
It’s more amazing how he only got injured twice that year 😂
Hell yeah Terry, love these...
Idc what anyone says I love watching this dude ride. Keep on riding... N great vidiography...
Loving the 80’s intro A E S T H E T I C

Me too, does anyone knows the name of the song? I cant find it with the Lyrics...

I love cycling along with Copper Ray and Terry.
I could be watching this on loop all night long ^_^

Especially in Panovision. Just Beautiful.
I enjoy watching your videos!

20 is the magic number in a place like new York all the traffic just slows down at that speed
It would be awesome if you could add a speedometer somewhere
No, please don't...

@@Harvardfacebook yeah I ended up doing this as I was curious... he's going about 46km/h on average
@@dexedr1ne He's doing around 90rpm for most of the video with 50-18 gear ratio, Thats 32kmh.

UK drivers get the right arse if you touch their cars. Especially the white van man!
Good to see Mr Ray wearing a helmet.
4:30 I love that view in the background
Love the intro!

Great bike check!
Beautiful - I SO want to ride NYC
Cooper is the definition of assertive yet defensive
Do a Terry Barentsen hot line , you ride as hell too
Terry doesn't want it to be called a HotLine.
Got him!

This whole video is FIRE!!! Love it! Rule number 1 is to #COMMIT
Qq
i am addicted to this series.. I started riding few months back and I am love with it. What's the cycling speed?
How fast you guys are cycling?
On 7th avenue they were basically at a 38km/h average speed (saw it on Cooper's Strava)
Usually between 18-25mph
I don't have a track bike but this gets me 10x more hyped to ride in seattle
roule terry roule! no speedo! if you ting you go fast then you go fast!!
Most fun rider on this channel lol I dunno why
this dudes voice is relaxing
great sound quality
“It has no breaks & that's all you need to know."
back pedal brake.
@@NihilistGhost no, fixie with no brakes. He can pedal backwards. He hops off if he wants to stop
12:08
He peddled backwards there to break for an example.
@@42luke93 on a fixed gear bike, pedaling back essentially locks the back wheel by just stopping the gears in place - as fixed gear already says
NYC is awesome
Works just like it's supposed to 😊
Amazing ride, to me from Paris It is funny to trace this on google Maps ;)
It looks like the most dangerous participant in the traffic are other bikes (12:54)
that's right because exactly they don't obey rules
3am here in the philippines watching this while eating!
1 gear! No breaks! A Mans Man!
I have a MTB and touring bike, but this series makes me want a fixie just for that feeling of being a kid again. It looks pure freedom

5:26min whats that spining move about ? Strech Or staying inkognito to The SUV Guy ? Interesting timing
he's flexing on that car
