I appreciate people who live life on the edge like that. He's skilled and tries not to affect anyone else, that's cool in my book.
Steel Rain to go nuts in the middle of traffic is what I call "tries not to affect anyone else" too! It's 100% cool in everyone's book!
btw nice photo, man, you must be #1 hoolingan in your area, real baddie >:o
Thank you, I run block with my homies.
"My goal is to ride without being in anybody's way," my respect for you just went up another +10.
I've seen people drive like this guy rides in London all the time. Difference is he's not angry and swearing at you because you've slowed him down. He just cycles around you, job done.
And those who say 'if he crashes he deserves it' maybe but how many fatal we're caused by cars this year. A massive ton more.
Cars are on track to cause about 8 billion deaths with the climate change disaster
Not sure why every video about messengers on YT has angry people being aggressively negative. If you hate people who ride fast so much, why even click on the video? What else could you possibly expect to find?
TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
You are 100% correct. I've been cycling, fixed gear, for about 5 years now and people think the aggressive way of riding is actually unsafe. Making judgement and riding that aggressive is actually safer than riding casually in a city setting. City drivers are aggressive as well so you need to make yourself seen. This is 100% correct riding and I love how he also has respect for drivers saying that he doesn't want to be a disruption or bother anyone. This rules.
10 years later and this is the man behind the Omnium cargo bikes! 🔥
Hey, any brand in particular?
I'm 24, work as a full time engineer and still ride my bike everywhere. Best form of transport and believe me, it is much faster than any form of motorised vehicle during rush hour traffic. Plus a good workout too.
Finally a featured bike messenger who actually takes the other traffic into account as being people.
0:51 ...not really.
Total support!!
sick one handed wheelie around the turn !!
Adds colour to the city and as he said, if your not causing trouble then good luck to him. Is the fastest way to get important paperwork around town.
wow hes like the first messanger ive seen on yt who actually cares about other members of the traffic ...and hes still fast -very impressive
Did you even see the video? He doesnt care about anything or anyone in traffic. All avout the rush.
yep you can say that about all the messengers on youtube. I only find it refreshing that he's at least aware of his impact on traffic and somewhat tries to not cause heavy problems
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE ADRESSING COMMENTS DIRECTLY TO JUMBO: HE IS NOT THE ONE RECIEVING THEM, AND I DON'T THINK HE REALLY CARES WHAT YOU THINK ANYWAY... I AM A FILMMAKER LIVING IN NYC, SOON WITH MORE ASPHALT FLICS TO COME - LIKE IT OR NOT. I'M HAVING A BLAST! -THANKS FOR WATCHING AND DEBATING!
"Quiksilver" baby one of my favorite movies!!!
man bro..ur a great filmmaker!!!! keep up the dope work! Wilpower.
Awright!!! Super fast! Respect from México.
dont let them get you down!
you make some great videos.
Dope!
1:01 - 1:21 Wheelie Bonus $60 Distance: 538 feet Time: 20 seconds :DDD
He broke his own rules by making that truck driver panic.
is this the guy that designed the omnium cargo bike?
Cool guy, great rider. Reminds me of an old melbourne messenger named Dan Ash, best courier i ever saw.
The Black Keys, or Dan Auerbach's solo album, can't tell. LOVE THEM.
This is the same style and philosophy i have when it comes to bike riding in a city - cyclist find their way around 'objects', none moving and moving(humans are also objects for a cyclist). No one should care about the cyclist or move out of their way,that is unexpected move for us and actually makes everything harder.
Five years are gone but still... While I have the same goal and principles as you and this guy, I think one should care about pedestrian boundaries, is very natural to get freaked out/surprised/scared/annoyed if a guy pass just by your side/in front of you while you are walking on the crosswalk or the sidewalk, and whatever our skill level we are putting them in a non-asked, unnecesary and plain absurd dangerous situation while they are existing in a supposed shared safe area... there are enough 4ssh0l3s in cars sh1tt1ng on them already, let's be just little smarter and human than those. People are subjects, with their own inwardness, experiences, feelings etc, not objects.
Hey, hvornår er videoen fra? Jeg ledte efter den genvej han tager ved 2:28, men jeg kunne ikke rigtig finde den. Kender I andre gode genveje inde i/omkring byen?
jwawawa2 What the fuck, did you seriously go back in my comment history, JUST to say that? You're such a goddamn inbred shitkid that I am amazed that you can be such a fucking idiot. To even think you would spend time going a year back in my comment history to say that shit, and you didn't even spell I'm or wankstain right. You are obviously 10.
u think ur so hard but ur not and ur really dumb im 13 u dumb fuck
Den genvej i videoen er hvis du kommer fra niels hemmingsens gade og krydser amagertorv i en lille port lidt til højre. ellers er der en ved pilestræde posthuset 57, der går direkte ned til skindergade ved købmagergade gennem det juridiske fakultet.
That Rocked!!
0:52!!! ohhh shiiiit! ;-) nice riding skills!
This dude is awesome.
+Joachim Peiper he'll also be dead soon.
Cambaudio Maybe. Maybe not.
Victor Fath Well, there are goals and things I want do with my life rather than act like a careless Juvenile :)
To outsiders it does indeed look dangerous and probably ruthless.
The secret is to not be seen by other people before it's basically too late for them to react. If you pay attention, you may notice that in the "dangerous" situations he either approaches other people from behind or passes by very quickly - out of the nowhere (from their perspective). Of course this requires massive experience.
To get an idea about what distances messengers typically cover in few days, take a look at this nice time lapsed animation of GPS tracked rides: lab.bikecitizens.net/cycle-courier-rides/
Have ya thinked about mountain biking? Its so dam AWESOME
Awesome!
ohh..lovely
Great video.
Couldn't of picked a better song.
that's funny about the 3:00 p.m. deadline for court filing, because here on the other side of the world, we have same 3:00 p.m. deadline at some courts. they have a computer which generates your number to wait in line to get something filed. show up at 3:01 p.m., and you don't get no number, and can't file. you'd be a great court runner/process server lol
cool video, what he's saying at the end really makes sense, too bad I cant play sound coz i desperately want to hear the music now
That was quite fkn awesome really guys got great bike skill
DC messenger here. Jumbo's on point.
Cheers Asphalt, il try to reach him.
Best regards and keep making those great documentaries.
amazing video, thanks for sharing!
great vid
and even better soundtrack
always found that black sabbath intro kinda creepy, but nonetheless awesome song
oh man, this guy rules.
was this beginning footage shot with a VHS GoPro?
A bit optimistic on the numbers there aren't we? In NYC the rate is $4-$5 max per delivery. In London, England the rate is 2 GBP max per delivery. There is not a delivery every 10 minutes, couriers can deliver as little as 10 packages as many as 40 in a day. What this works out to is that beginning couriers average $8-$12 per hour for the hours they work. Experienced couriers average $11-$15/hr. Then there are the "stars" that are capable of $15-$21/hr. For this last group there are very few.
He's awesome
*WOW!*
very cool
chainring and cog combination of good that's how, so that feels light skid??
thank you
What's that thing over the back wheel for? For holding packages?
how often he needs to change reartire?
+Steve Warris Depends on his weight, how often he skids, and the quality of the tire. Companies like Panasonic make tires reinforced for skidding, like the Soma Super Everwear tire.
ok. i tried the "thick slick" but they doesn´t impress me. so i stick to german tires like schwalbe or continental sportcontact
+Steve Warris try continental gatorskin, supersport plus or vittoria randonneur
I use really cheap tires, have to replace them about in every 3 months
really cool!
cool video, what he said in subtitles at the end really makes sense, too bad I cant play sound coz i desperately want to hear the tune-Lovely stuff.
Sorry, English is my 2. language -I'm Danish like Jumbo, but Episodes from NYC coming up soon and then subs won't be necessary anymore...
Thanks alot, join on FB if you like -see link above. New Asphalt episodes from NYC coming up soon.
Am I right that this is a guy who won trackstands in Dublin 2007 Bike Messengers World Championship?
Awesome dude! It's always a rush to ride with speed and dodge traffic!
Man you are too cool on that fixed wheel. Stay safe bro!!
Best out of the four!
Er der nogen, der ved om denne cyklist er i live endnu? Måske kører han lige så vildt i kørestol?
This is one of the rare fixie videos on youtube where I can respect the guy. If someone beeps their horn, that means you're in their way. Tone the fuck down and try again :). Thanks for the nice video!
Dude!!!!! your freakin' fast :)
Har selv kørt mange år i Kbh, men sjældent har jeg set rådden kørsel.. Du bringer andres liv i fare ved at køre på den måde og det har jo intet at gøre med at være hurtig når du ikke overholder reglerne. Tænk lige hvis andre trafikanter ikke overholdte reglerne, så kommer der pludselig en fra siden der ikke burde være der og klipper dig.Tænk dig om.
Jeg har en ven der udformer og udsmykker miniature violiner, til en overkommelig pris (han sælger næsten udelukkende til pygmæer og kretinere). Jeg vil gerne spille på en for dig; hvor bor du, så kan jeg lige komme forbi?
51/17 = 3
48/16 = 3
therefore for every full rotation of the cranks the wheels rotate 3 times. starting and stopping at the same points.
therefore either ratio has the same number of skid patches
0:52 the fuck!? Mad fucking propers! This dudes a beast.
you are amazing rider
isn't there a movie like this coming out?
amazing.. im from southamerica, my boyfriend its a fixie rider, greetings, sorry for my english
What is the song at the end of the video?
I once rode through with Antonio Da Cruz in Sydney AFTER the Olympic Games RR in 2000. He was awesome through traffic, anyone who thinks Pros would struggle to match a messenger in traffic should be made aware this is probably not the case.
Thanks baws!
Jeg er meget interesseret i Cykler som JUMBO har der, nogen der ved hvor de kan handles?
cool video, what he's saying at the end really makes sense, too bad I cant play sound coz i desperately want to hear the tune
great stuff.
Lover
Что за город и страна?
so this is where the movie "Premium Rush" got all their ideas from...now i get it...
looool at 2'32!!!
nice vid
what kind of crank do you use ?
this dude is legit premium rush ;)
Now thats a fast cat!
well his job is to get his package to the client asap, so that means he has to go as far as he can to be time consuming, cause the job is based on commission, so the faster you get the package to the place, the more you get paid, its just the way the bike messenger concept works
Great! Welcome to Russia! We don't have bike tracks and we don't have tickets for bikers either! :-)
Was nice to see familiar places of Kobenhavn, thanks!
I've only been hit by a car once when somebody merged into me to make a right with no blinker. Thankfully I was aware, bumped into the car to bounce off and absorb the impact, didn't even have to put my foot down.
Great song choice Sabbath kicks so much ass man
That's just one of the best fun way to ride a bicycle
whats the world championship race he talks about?
Whoa, that's a little harsh. He's making a living based on runs, not hours. I'm sure it's an adrenaline rush, and he does break a few traffic laws, but I'd love to grab a coffee with this guy. Then again, that's your opinion, and I don't want a comment fight.
what is the first song of this video?
that's equivalent to 48x16
or the standard fixed gear out of the box setup
The crazy good!
Does anyone know what helmet he's wearing?
Wonderfull COPENHAGEN CITY, like in Asphalt CoPenHagen...
Jumbo can ride!
what gear ratio is that?
what bike is that
1/2 - He sounds intelligent and has some good ideas about how to behave in traffic. City drivers probably know that he's on the road w. them, so long as they drive and pay attention, all will be well. I like what he said about trucks and novice messengers: respect the one and learn your limits. The only thing that I don't like is how he passes on the right w. cars on the right side of the other moving bike and his. If JUmbo eats a door, the other rider will crash into him.
I am 20 years old and I always love riding bikes but recently I figure out that most of my friends have stop riding their bikes and are more focus on cars now. They say I need to grow up and get a car now bcuz girl dont want a boy in a bike. I kinda believe them but idk.. I still enjoy biking am even thinking of buying another bike but everyone tell me to save up for a car now. Am I just getting to old for this? Since I am the only one with a bike now. Or should I continue riding but now solo
at least hes wearing a helmet..
+Oni Ologeanu For his riding style i'm not sure it helps very much ;-)
cool
@Austin393 wats the song? thanks in advance
what frame he rides?
Juuuuummmmmmmbbbbbooooooo!!!!
