Ain't no way. This is the crossover of the year.
Ongggggg this is what i dont know i needed
EXACTLY
Y'all keep this shit on da low. Feds r listening.
Right? There's always taxis in the way
Experience experience experience you cannot upload years months decades of driving experience
This is crazy never thought wheres981 would ever do an interview
Yo Word!! Dudes Assetto Corsa Setup is Fucking Crazy Lmaoo!!! His Graphics Rendering is out of this world!!
@@wolfboy20 the new update he came out makes it look like cgi bro
fr Love getting to know the driver more without him going into his personal life
Same
@@wolfboy20how do I join his server bro?
I was 16 in 2004 when I got my license in NYC. This shit was going on at that time as much as it is now. Now its just that there's social media and dash cams so its all over IG. Nothings changed. I stopped doing it as much now that I'm older.
You still young tho
Yeah we been doing this since 90s
Nothing changed? They have cameras every intersection in the city. Tf you talking about.
@@baseballhunter42 why would a camera matter?
@@baseballhunter42 Ppl been using fake plates way before camera's so what's that supposed to do?
Yo briq50, you gotta put back up the video of you doing a donut around a cop while he was giving a traffic ticket to someone. That was epic man.
facts was literally looking to rewatch it a few mins ago but couldn’t find it lmao
UA-cam deleted it. Violated terms apparently
Same send link here if found
damn thats wack it got deleted
Think it’s on IG
I’m in my 30’ and can attest that what he’s saying is 1000% true. Most car guys in Brooklyn/NY start driving like this from their teens. My friends and I been cutting up since ~2008. Like he said, only difference is he makes the videos and edits them. But best believe this type of driving has been going on for decades especially on the belt. I used to work for a doctor who told me stories of him having a girlfriend In like Babylon and he used to tear up the belt in his 911 back in the day. I gotta say it was a lot less cops back then.
Genuinely would like to cut up in traffic more, got a little 135i staggered setup, but im more worried about the drivers around me, than me actually doing something stupid, like fr if you come to cali you better remember that defensive driving shit 🤣 people over here drive as if they got 9 lives (pullin out into oncoming traffic goin like 15, no blinker, straight up run you off the road, dont check mirrors ong), and don't even get me started on the Tesla drivers 😪
Bro I was driving an Altima SR and 3 bmws and a VW golf get behind me. That’s code for start it up in nyc. Next thing ik we’re on the grand central going 110 in and out of cars like it’s a convoy😅
@@siphious2911same thing in nyc bro we just anticipate having to go around them before we even get there
@@siphious2911 u can still cut up without doing what these guys do. The way they cut up is stupid but tuff at the same time cuz they have rlly good driving skills
Young bro..we used to catch rec in the 90s when racing was racing..the streets were clear on the belt parkway to the southern state at night..nowadays its alot harder to speed because it's way too many cars on the road..we didnt do all this weaving in and out of traffic..we had clear roads at 2am..the roads would start to clear out around 10pm..people actually went to sleep..lol..back in 1995 I had the Acura legend coupe with the type 2 engine and the 1993 lexus SC400..my boy had the 1992 Q45 infiniti(the Q45 was a problem back then).you had to be there to see it young bro..also back in the late 70s 80s and 90s they used to race on fountain Ave in Brooklyn East NY..all of it was kept quiet and underground..lol..we didn't want to advertise or tell on ourselves like the newer generation when they post stuff on social media..to this day I still love speed so I stay with my Scat packs & my hellcat challenger..im older and respect the roads now..plus I don't want to crash my car or cause a major accident weaving in and out of traffic for just likes..
I don't think you understand how iconic of an interview this is. This is going to blow up and gain millions of views in the coming months/years. It's truly a pleasure to finally be able to hear a little bit of these guys' background. I've been watching 981 for a couple years now and I have always been curious to know more about him. With that being said, please everyone remember that life is not a game. There are heavy consequences to clout chasing and trying to become a 981 copycat. You heard from him yourself, they acknowledge that they're putting people's lives in danger. Consume his content for entertainment purposes and take it at face value. There is no need to ruin your life and the lives of other innocent people for the little bit of adrenaline that you get. Stay safe swimmers 💯
Sooner or later theyll get into an accident or jail . Its not worth it lol
@@kingfreddy5268 Unfortunately that's how it usually goes. 981 seems smart enough to recognize that tho. Hopefully he gives it up before it's too late.
@@kingfreddy5268 To be fair they can live life how ever they want, it may not be worth it for you but to them it is
years? as in the two years he’s been uploading… real fans been there since his instagram days
i guess it's time to hit up the good ol' assetto corsa then
I was in shock/awe when he said that he waits sometimes almost/up to a year to post them because that’s so smart and makes so much sense (38)
Yes and no, statue of limitations is 5 years
@Syncopia for reckless driving in NYC? Do you know if it's the same for Nassau?
Does not matter… they cannot prove who is driving from a dashcam video. Just because you upload the footage does not imply guilt
@@horenzodipartendo8225 don’t forget this is CGI Blender Forza Horizon in Mexico 😂
Every video we see is a year old 😅😂😂😂
I've been watching wheres981 since he uploaded his first "Every time I ran from the cops" compilation. The guy gets me on the edge of my seat yipping and giggling like a little girl with some of the things he does.
I also love how he redefined the word "swimming" or "swim." He really makes it look as easy as having fun in a pool. I've started using that word in that context myself.
The yipping and giggling like a little girl is so accurate 😂😂😂
“I love how he redefined the word swim” lmfao can you suck his dick any harder lmfaooo that shit is just the nyc lingo go outside and touch grass bro
Both of you giggle like little girls ? 😳 wtf ? 😂
Reading this is mad cringe. Yikes
@@azca. ok.
15:00 "people camping in the left lane" had me rolling🤣
It's so fuckin' true though, I'll never understand why idiots do this.
@@josh1234567892 fr the only reason i ever "cut up" is to just get back into the left lane cuz people sit in it
@@josh1234567892 the other day i spotted a corolla doing 40 in a 60-70 zone in the second to left lane and everyone were just going around it. I had to process that situation for a bit
@Samuel Rodriguez it's crazy just how many unaware drivers there is. 5 car can go around them and they will still go 40 mph or stay in the lane like they're not watching all these cars coming close behind and going around. If you know you're just cruising , stay on the right side. I speed but when I'm not , I always let the faster traffic flow by.
Not that funny
At this point, they've been running from cops for so long they can't stop. Its all gas no brakes, or jail. Props to yall for telling your backstory.
They'll stop when they end up in prison for decades. Just know all these crimes can be stacked onto each other.
@@r.d.9399 can’t prove it lol
@@r.d.9399 im pretty sure that’s the point of his comment buddy.. read it again
@@r.d.9399 there’s really no way to prove it. Even if he gets caught running from the police, all his videos won’t harm him much. Especially with a good lawyer, that won’t really stick. It’s very hard to prove a case like that from a dashcam, unless you’ve got proof at that specific time he was driving. They have to do that for each video and time
@@Augie- Everyone parroting stuff like this is the comments is putting too much faith in the american legal system, yes plea deals & money can lower sentences &/or get people off the hook, and even often police don't want to do their jobs & don't try to dig up evidence, but when you're a special case like 981 they can make an example, like what they've been trying to do with whistlindiesel & on the other side of the coin if you're a nobody then nobody will care if you disappear into the prison system. So basically on both ends of the spectrum 1% & 99% you can be fucked easily with the wave of a gavel, to say that oh it's fine, because the system works as it should is about as naive as applying logic to swimming, ofc you can logistically lower your chances of smacking or getting the book, but even 981/Float (seem to) recognize that, how much they suspend their disbelief on that fact idk, but especially that last bit of the interview it seems with the popularity of the channel they've definitely been taking the legal & life-risk implications at least more into consideration.
THIS IS GOING TO BE HISTORIC
I'm sayingggg. This is a legendary interview
Daily Street Racing was so fun to watch back then, learning from his little miata and seeing the growth was insane.
bro omg facts when he said that a wave of nostalgia hit. I remember watching all his videos and seeing him grow he became a beast in the Miata. that thing was handling crazy. he would keep up with crazy sports cars in the curves in it.
@@xletzyy i think bro had a cammed miata pushin bout 210hp or something, 2020 chillin in my room watching him was so nostalgic fr
@@isaac368 damn makes me feel old 2017 is nostalgic to me
I tend to swim on the highways I have for years. When you started talking about it really coming from left lane campers it’s true everywhere in the USA except roads like i-70 where it’s 2 lanes, people don’t even know what lanes are for passing or traveling. They just drive where and how fast they feel
People are very observant of passing etiquette on interstates. Once you get into even slightly congested areas, everybody seems to forget how to drive.
@@eclipse1201 for the most part I agree but there are still idiots on these interstates. When I did road trip from Boston to Chicago, some people really just sat in the left of a two lane road and didn’t move over
Here in Canada it's sort of bizarre, national and provincial highways are the only places most people follow lane etiquette, and yet a three lane highway is usually treated like a two lane, one passing and two cruising, for some inane reason. Cop presence here is also insane, but unlike deep in the city, if you get caught out there, you'd better be cooking good cause they'll run you down in a few minutes no problem.
I've been told they don't bother chasing you and simply radio ahead at a certain speed, the exact number being enigma to idiots like myself, it seems to change all the time, but sometimes it's down to luck whether you get away cause it's nothing but small towns and countryside out there and it's a fair six miles to the next exit.
@eclipse1201 Here in the Northeast, very few people have traffic etiquette.
@@nicolasa.3192 Not sure what part of Canada you're talking about but I can attest that lower mainland area is goddamn terrible, so many drivers with literally 0 awareness
This man made some valid points. At the end of the day if people actually used the road properly we wouldn't need to be weaving, we would just stay in the left lane out of everyone's way
*in the right lane and using the left to overtake only
Lol no man, that's not how it works
@Karl with how people tend to drive that's not really possible
@@TheCastedonethats actually exactly how it works. look at europe for example
Right, but they don't use the road properly, so what's your point?
Honestly, it's true. It's pretty lawless in cities right now. NYPD aren't really the best trained. And NYC has much bigger problems.
And 5-0 in most cities isn't pursuing anymore as well as de prioritizing traffic stops like this
In Miami they don’t play around or anything in Florida. If you don’t stop within a minute they will no doubt charge you with reckless driving
@@Skunkhunt_42nah deadass, theirs literally just more important shit to do😂
I like how he’s trying to get us to believe that corolla is a porsche 🏊♂️
I hope 981 and 8x, and the whole swim team, know that they've started and influenced the new generation of the American street scene and that swimming is gonna be something in the scene for decades to come
Literally, got the whole gang swimming like we some sharks.
Started? We were doing this in the 90s … just didn’t upload it for UA-cam / IG fame
You're retarded, this been a thing for years now before these guys existed LOL.
@@esbekay cutting up was always a niche thing until it went big online
It used to be called cat and mouse racing since way back when
Critical, you demonstrated great patience throughout this interview. It is sometimes very easy to interrupt if you are curious about something the interviewees said. You did an excellent job listening for relatively long periods of time. Not always easy to find this patience and great deal of listening skills among other interviewers, great job!
This was incredible to watch especially since there is a level of mystery removed just hearing their perspective and how they handle things was awesome to hear thank you for giving us an insight in to what you do!
I used to do this up until I missed hitting a 7 year old girl that ran out in the road with her bicycle by a few feet. I was going about 70 down a town street and ended up crashing into a tree head on at 50. The cop that was chasing me called off the chase minutes ago but I was routing back to the highway.
Changed my life this accident & Ive been in contact with that girl since 2016 and have a good friendship with her & her mother who near her that day.
when I see people do this I don’t hate on it because I did it too. I just know that my time has ran out in this activity and now I’ve just got to spectate it 😂
If you don't condemn this then you clearly didn't learn your lesson bro, you could have just as easily killed that girl for no reason other than selfish self-preservation. These people are doing the exact same thing and putting other people's lives at risk in the exact same way
Realistically, driving that fast down a town or neighborhood street is the problem. These two don’t really do that much, but they’re used to hella traffic.
@@Augie- uhhhh nah, REALISTICALLY it's still very dangerous on a busy highway
@@joeballz25 You can def swim through traffic at reasonable speeds, that’s how most people are. Even Where’s is fairly relaxed in the cuts he’s taking, you don’t have to endanger lives to swim through traffic. It’s a higher chance that somebody else does something stupid and hits you anyways, so they’re endangering lives just by driving
@@Augie- no brother you're just incorrect. crashing at 60+ mph ALWAYS has a chance of being fatal. When you fly by people doing 60+ at 100+ mph you are putting them at a massive risk because you could very easily side swipe them or just bump them off course causing them to crash. there's no disagreeing with this, this is just fact. I don't care how great of drivers you think they are, it doesn't mean there is a very low chance of hitting anybody else, you can literally go see their near misses with people that could've ended in a fatal crash.
that feeling he’s talking abt is almost like a flow of water, being able to weave through traffic, spot openings close and reopen, the pace of traffic around you, looking a mile ahead of you then immediately checking your blind spots to move, its a zone few people are able to get into even with 20 years of driving experience, the body of the car becomes the drivers body, imagine being able to feel a front fender crunch as if it was your knee getting hit, it’s just you flowing through traffic processing a thousand thoughts a second feeling the most alive while being the closest to dying 😏
No
^^ @@RealAntek someone who doesn’t drive fast cars 😂
@@SemiAmateur no I just mean ur trying too hard to seem deep like shut up
Worded this beautiful bro
ok buddy
Wow they're all so young, I remember driving like that when I was in my early 20s and now in 30s I'm like I'll wait for traffic to clear and be a little late. Young and invincible for sure
I hope we don't all gather back here in a year or two to watch this video from a different perspective- these dudes will either retire from this, or die.
I'm saying that as a fan- even got the swim merch lol 💜
I know dudes that ride like this for years, usually 20s and early 30s. Given the swim teams, rational, calm, calculated cuts, and mostly non-criminal activities (traffic tickets aren't criminal acts).
They are far more likely to get caught and probably face jail time than die. They are skilled drivers, and I'm not saying that they will never make a slight miscalculation while swimming and get caught with bad luck, but as it stands, with how they measure the risks and pick which situation to run from and driving skill, they are far more likely to get caught then die in a fiery blaze.
NA traffic laws need real reformation regardless, Street swimming is largely a byproduct of the shitty NA transportation regime, with laws feuled by fear rather than sensibility. As 981 said, our highways are designed to safely go much faster than 60 (permitting traffic and line of sight). If we had the sensibility of the Germans, things would be much different.
It doesn't make sense to penalize more competent and skilled drivers that aren't causing egregious risks to public safety, I'n a continent ruled by the automobile.
Either way, all love for 981, for the longest time, I thought I was alone. I do hope he retires one day, or takes a lower profile. Lucks gotta run dry or NYPD might look to make an example. Would rather see him live on as a legend among the community and example of why the road rules in NA are broken, rather than anything else.
@@musaddiqueh6248 It isn't skill until it's proven on the track.
There was a famous Russian driver that did this and he fucked up one day and died. Can’t remember his name.
@@Cardiakk Track racing and street racing is not the same, and this isnt even street racing tbh, its swimming/cutting which is another thing entirely than normal racing imo..
@@80PercentAshamedOfU Giorgi Tevzadze, and his friend was driving when they crashed, not Giorgi himself.
16:00
I'm always saying the same thing. If people used the left lane as it should be used there would be no need for cutting up.
Then you use the shoulder 😅
If people are spedding though there still would be cutting up cause even passing regularly and at a normal speed will slow someone speeding down. Depending on how fast you’re coming they can’t stay out of the lane and you can’t expect them to brake or heavily accelerate just to get out of the way
@@wed3k Left lane is for passing ONLY.
@@MrNorotic not just left lane. middle lane too. I watched all the dashcam compilations. Cammers be camping in the middle lane complaining about people cutting up. Its so aggravating because what they are complaining about is a symptom of their lack of lane discipline.
Keep right except to pass and then they wouldn't be able to do that.
@@traceyoung9876 camping in the left lane is when there is literally someone behind the person for an extended amount of time and the person thinks nothing of it. Someone being in the left lane and moving right as they see someone pop up behind them is what they should be doing. Its not like people are going to just ram into the person, theyll brake and wait 5-10 seconds for the person to move
when float8x started talking i was rolling on the floor 🤣💀
Bruh same
The craziest thing is that 981 is a fairly new driver from 2020 yet ye became so skilled just by sheer passion and talent
It doesn’t take skill driving fast in a straight line or to weave in and out of traffic in an automatic. He has lots of balls though but that’s it
@@ak740_and running from cops? that’s not skill?
@@ak740_it definetly takes skill see what the average driver can do
I really don’t like street racers & takeover clowns but these two specifically, represent a more mature & well thought out division of street racers. From the break down of the swim team to thought process of when & where to pull over vs run this was super fun to watch.
True drivers are gentlmen
i wonder what keiichi tsuchiya would have to say about this bullshit@@fernandosoriasanchez3250
someone else finally gets what ive been trying to say, theres a difference between clowning around and speeding and taking precise movements to get away from law enforcement and controlling your car on the limit of grip.
I knew these two were super smart. You can just tell by how they talk that they've got IQ on their side. The part at 45:08 about not letting your Ego drive is so intelligent and wise, mad respect.
i thought so too, because how else would they get these expensive ass cars in a city like that?
@@RafaVitor well if you buy used on credit it's not that difficult to afford with a decent job. These aren't lambos or ferraris
Number 1 thing real drivers who do this do, you gotta establish rules. You gotta establish some kind of code of conduct.
My rules,
1. Always think before you move, GOOD JUDGEMENT is KING. If you're not confident in a move, DON'T.
2. NEVER drive with your Ego. Don't do things you don't normally do, don't break your rules. It's not a race, it's not a contest. Know when to quit.
3. NEVER TAKE THE SHOULDER. All manner of things are in the shoulder, it's a hazard, NEVER DO IT.
4. Know your car, should go without saying, but know what you're working with.
@@RafaVitor honestly I fully thought they're just drug dealers xDDD
@F F You can tell they aren't drug dealing criminals by the way they drive. They dont get desperate, and despite cutting up traffic, they still display restraint, like slowing down before running reds in the city.
Love how he first brings up just driving every night. When I got my z for the first time I would literally earn money working just to spend it driving around. God how I miss my car. And what I’d do for the chance to drive a vehicle like a Porsche cayman. Loved the video!
It's an expensive lifestyle more you drive more you pay
I work in Manhattan and watch these guys all the time this was cool to listen to their story and thought process about it all.

I don't think 981 or float take unnecessary risks, but Bri and 929cuts definitely do, those dudes do some sketchy shit sometimes and I hope they don't end up ruining it for everyone else. I do love some Bri and 981 runs tho, he's just gotta chill sometimes lol.
bri said it himself, he is allergic to driving like a normal person
929cuts aint it tbf. He gonna crash
@@pavito9997 He takes some real risky cuts, if he doesn't crash then he's gonna cause someone else to crash and they'll just be fucked. It seems like he's not as good at predicting other people's movements and speed, he gives off more of a clout chasing vibe than a chill swimming vibe like the rest of the team.

It's impressive how well spoken 981 is. I at least thought he'd be someone who wasn't very educated, but he clearly is aware and reflective, and that's probably the reason he hasn't gotten caught yet

There are several of these guys. They go by " SWIM" I just found the channels a couple of days ago and can't stop watching. The level of sophistication with scrabbling their voices among other things is something else. Makes you wonder
this introduced me to float but ive been watching 981 since like 10k subs and hes never uploaded anything worse than half the stuff u see from the police chases all over the internet but from the pov of the cops. these guys can drive. the cops get a little "training" on defensive and attack driving. but these boys, DRIVE
How can you watch 981 and not check out float. Man you crazy
Great interview. Crazy that 981 only been driving 3 years. New sub….
Been subscribed a long time and never once did I think I’d see this country on this page. It’s a good day
NO WAY YOU MANAGED TO GET A HOLD OF THESE GUYS 🙌🙌
what i liked about those 2 is their resilience, modesty and the team mentality. hope u stay safe.

Daily Street Racing was sooooo good to watch. Barely uploads but when he does its a must watch
Been here since the "HIGHWAY" series and I never thought I'd see this collab 🔥
I remember when 981 had 7k subscribers and goddamn hes grown so much...
I subbed when he was at like 14k
People need to understand that this art has been passed down through NYC trenches for generations. These are merely the latest practiononers.
I am familiar with the daily street racing channel that wheres981 mentioned. I have watched that channel for years , used to be called safe racer. Now he is not uploading. Just this week I have subscribed to wheres981 and a few other channels.. great interview , I watched the entire thing. Very valid point on the left lanes being for passing and thats it. We wouldnt have to drive the way that we do using all of the lanes if the left was open for passing the slower traffic.
nah floats voice caught me so off guard LMAOOOOOO
Wow these guys have come a long way truly, shout to the legends man.
The @Float8x lore is legenday, I wish he'd upload more again.
I cant believe they've grown this much bro
@@yankeefan1ist BRO RIGHT?
Dis is wild, never thought I'd ever seen an interview from yall.
I couldn’t imagine running in New York, you got a 4 way intersection like every 20 feet and all it takes is one car to make you slam the brakes and get caught or cause a crash. I’m in the Deep South, you just hit a back road and floor it and take a few turns and your safe.
Crashing is the last thing a driver thinks about
it's no doubt much easier running in the south with more open roadways, and literal backroads that are pretty much deserted 98 percent of the time..to actually run in New York with 100% success rates countless times take some serious skill...where981 and Float in my honest opinion would have no problem in Arkansas either although may people think otherwise..unless they pull out the helicopters, or even the scatpack pursuits, they'd still be successful..New York is a highly compact city, and being able to evade in such a tight knit environment in insane..states like Arkansas, Texas, and Nevada take less skill but more power..power won't even matter in NY if you're unable to wiggle your way out of traffic, and that's non-debatable..
Got to make it to the highway lol.‘it’s not like youre running away in Times Square
*Arkansas has entered the chat*
@@3-65.0Arkansas state troopers will kill themselves to kill the driver running. Southern cops do not relent
Bro i remember when 981 had like 4k subs. It was so cool seeings his channel grow and seeing other channels popping up swimming too
Love this crew💪🏾 stay safe fellas🏁🏁🏁
This is legendary
Very right thoughts regarding unnecessary risk and ego causing trouble. Its so true
I'm from the south. This kind of driving is done here, but radar detectors are a must. Avoiding starting a chase is winning the chase every time. You can't really get away most places in the south outside of maybe dead in the middle of town and it's not really worth the risk because they will pit you or spike tires.
On a bike though, it's a whole other story. Most southern states don't pit bikes but may still try to spike which is easily avoided usually. Sometimes you can literally just go where they can't, like supermoto on trails, sidewalks, alleys, hell even stairs on smaller bikes lol.
A bike is better to outrun cop than car but it has to have some power
Southern cops are out for blood. Arkansas state troopers will literally kill themselves just to kill whoever's trying to run
I'd imagine you'd live in a large city to see driving like this. Where I am in the South, it can only be defined as redneck country, with most of the cops in the town not even caring about stuff like this once they meet their ticket quota for the months. The State Troopers though, they don't play and will chase you as far as they can see you.
Heard it from the man himself, and I said it as well. The biggest skill in cutting up is being able to back off and not force a cut
Wow dude, what a massive reference drop for Daily Street Racing. That dude is awesome to watch. This kind of racing, much like most kinds of racing, are not for the faint of heart. This is really interesting video.
The collab we always needed.
I never looked at this driving being because of road laws not being followed but that makes a lot of sense. If people followed the lane laws, it would make things a lot better flow wise. Great vid!
Did not expect for this collab 🔥
981s stuff is so relaxing at bedtime during meditation
Unless they stop today, one of them is 100% going to get caught, and the police will make him talk. They will throw the book at all of you and that means prison for a long time, and permanent suspensions on licenses. Once they get you out of the car, yall will never get behind the wheel legally for the rest of your lives even when you get out. Worth thinking about, no point in being rich if you have no freedom.
It's much different than driving on track or any race scenario, it takes real balls and a bit of something that you can't quite describe in words. Only certain people of a certain mind set can do this well. Me and a couple guys used to have subies that we'd do this around Salt Lake in back in 2005 to 2012 era
Yeah track is way different than what this guy does. He wouldn't be able to hang with people on tracks, him or float.
too bad he has a video of him at the track @@Riskbreaker_Riot
NO FUCKEN WAY BRO. I LOVE WHERES981. we have been asking for this collab for so long
Bro I been following 981 since 1100 subscribers and now dudes an actual niche celebrity 😭 This makes me so happy
Interesting seeing a generation behind me doing this. I wish I could share some of my stories. I will say though, he is totally right when it comes to people not respecting what each lane is used for. He is also right about different states. I found out the hard way, not all cop cars are restricted to 130-135. Sometimes it's not realistic out running a cop with speed. This is when you really need to be a top notch driver. If I could ask for one thing...people, don't try "blocking" this from happening cause you will then be the ultimate risk.
My Guy DID A INTERVIEW !! FINALLY Lol love these guys . Wish the best of luck and the best escapes
All the justifications I see for driving like this are ripe with logical fallacies.
"everyone else is doing it!" (bandwagon) "you could die while driving normally too!" (false equivalence) "people don't follow traffic laws!" (hypocrisy)
That being said, it's still entertaining to watch.
That's my opinion too.
I've been driving in NYC for over 14 years and I can say that most people in NYC do NOT drive like how they do and do NOT run from the police all the time. Are there lots of them that do? Sure, but not Most. That is some gross exaggeration.
It's crazy for me to read the comment section and see how these guys are almost being idolized as being intelligent and iconic. There is nothing intelligent about driving the way they do in such traffic. Some may hate me for saying this but the things they do puts so many other people's lives in danger.
I own a modified 520whp STI, rode a 600cc supersport and I have cut up, weaved, gone 135mph+ on NYC highways before. So it's tough for me to criticize anyone, but to make a living out of doing such thing is nothing to worship.
You can say oh I weigh the consequences but weighing the true consequence is understanding how your choice of actions can cause harm to not only yourself but to those around you as well.
This guy has been driving for 3 years now, meaning he learned to drive during COVID times where roads were empty and he is just learning to really drive in the city. I hope he takes his "skills" to the tracks and not juggle the lives of dozens of those that he is cutting up.
One thing he is 100% accurate on is the horrible lane discipline in USA. People hog the passing lane which ultimately causes faster moving vehicle to pass on the right. However, this doesn't apply to his situation because he clearly said that he goes out every night to simply speed and cut up in traffic. So it's not out of the necessity of getting to his destination quickly, but he is cutting up for the sake of cutting up.
Amazing video. Love the conversation. Every state is different when it comes to traffic laws.
All for 981 and all but one thing you gotta always keep in mind too is that a lot of these new upcoming po’s dont have much experience, be careful out there because even if you know for a fact by law they can’t hit your vehicle for just “speeding”, they always will find an excuse to justify anything to save their own ass and play hero
All it will take is one pig under cover or in a personal vehicle to purposely cut in front of them and cause an accident to end this man’s life..The longer you live the more you realize that cops do not follow the law, this guy is sorely mistaken..
@@NewEdgeDesigns agreed 💯
@@aintnohypebeast737but even then if they do that it'll still be easier to drop the speeding charges to save their ass
Legenday video. I remember the video of the black car running from the cops and doing burnouts. Fell in love with cars same way.
Best interview ever 💯💯 NYC CHECK IN 🗽
this is much needed! i love taking skill passes im my camry every time i drive it
chicago swimmers
you guys take the time to actual learn the car test the car
I started doing this 8 years ago before the UA-cam/tiktok boom, No egos, no doing it for attention, just pure friendly competitive driving. It was small groups, everyone kept a safe distance, life was good. The moment nohesi and these youngins started doing it to get views, the bullshit drivers came out. I only cut up from time to time now only with close friends and at night, because nowadays it’s 17 year old kids who watch these guys think they know what they’re doing but in reality they have no experience and blind confidence. Trying to whiteline and cut into super tight spaces comes at a cost, with accidents happening every few minutes. No much we can do about it since UA-cam/TikTok has taken over this generation. Drive safe fellow swimmers
I’m real sorry you couldn’t sell merch to kids.
cry more lmao.
Lol you are no better than the 17 year old kids you fuckhead. When you do inevitably crash and there are causalities, I hope its only you.
I pray to God you end up in jail and the rest of you.
wheres981 had 20k subcribers when i was watching his compilation videos. Amazing how the internet works man great video!
i love the fact that he brings up that he wouldnt cut up nearly as much if people just drove like they were supposed to. left lane for passing, not for going above the speed limit.
The irony is that in that scenario, he would be using the left lane for going above the speed rather than passing. Seems like hypocrisy to me.
Wheres981 is interesting, but his comment about being able to 'immediately' drive well on track is extremely naive.
A lot of the stuff he said was pretty naive, even bordering on ignorant. He's a young rich kid, what do you expect.
@@Lemmyywinkz honestly didnt listen to all of it. more like a kid who got lucky w options as he mentioned he did lolll
He practices a lot on the track and has raced on the track he’s said in a 2021 interview that he has a lot of wheel time on the track
when 981 was talking with the deep voice changer and float came in with that higher pitched one i lost it 😂
I LOVE CRITICAL! The best channel of my whole YT life by a country mile. I feel like I have so much history with this channel. I used to watch the original Stockholm vids on my iPod Video way before the internet really got going with this kind of content. Hail the OG!
I just bought two gopros recently to start recording my own shenanigans and watching back interactions with police, its like having my own mini Critical videos.
you should upload them! :)
Don't choke
Fair warning. Just put a fake plate on your car if youre gonna do this shit and not a plate that is linked to another car that you have no business associating with. Had this happen to a company car and it pissed me off so damn bad..
Get a bike instead. More free, more honorable if you crash into a car, no getting stuck in a traffic jam. Cons, can't be in comfortable lux car.
You’re going to end up getting caught trynna be something u ain’t 💀
This shit might be fun till you kill somebody. When you see some candles on the side of the road think about that next time.
My step sister was with two friends and nearly died from the idiot driving, he was running stop signs. T-boned a mother and killed her instantly. SUV rolled and step sisters friend got ejected from the vehicle and has brain damage. Driver was 17 tried as adult and got 6 years. Step sis was beat up but okay.
wasn't expecting this collab !!
Just seen this, great interview, seen both of their content, keep it up
There will be a movie one day. Legends. Stay confident
I'm going to tell my kids this was Verstappen & Checco 😂
And I’m going to tell your kids that their father was a loser
huge crossover ive never expected to happen
That's so true what he said that most new Yorkers drove like this and run from the cops they just don't record it. I remember summer of 2013 my black C63 was the hottest fucking car in staten island every cop in all 4 precients was looking for my car I had it parked in my dad's garage for like 4 months. I ran from them on the expressway coming from jersey acted like I was heading for the verazano took the last exit got on father cap blvd hit about 150+ I made it from the bridge to midland Beach in like 2 mins 😅 dipped towards my parents house parked it inside the garage walked to the deli got a beer watched the cops drive up and down the blvd looking for my car. Went home and my car stayed there for the rest of that summer. Next day there was an article in the staten island advance how the NYPD has been hunting a black C63 mercedes for the past 3 months who has been qoute "menacing" the island 😅
Good times good times currently working on a nice new E63 can't wait to get it finished and running
Edit: just finished watching the video pretty sure i know exactly which car wash you were heading to. That strip there under the F train by the coney island railyard is super fun at night itll be completely dead to bad the road itself is absolute trash probably my biggest problem with new york is our shitty roads absolute nightmares in some places.
This is probably also why i was attracted to your videos is because im just watching people run from cops in my neighborhood where i have also done it i know exactly where hes most likely going where his next turn might possibly be and its cool to just see some areas you personally havent been to in awhile and see how things are still. Ill always love new york city its truly one of the greatest cities in the world dont care what anyone says or doesnt like about it
Jesus Christ dude. Glad everything turned out okay for you.
How does the ukranian boot polish taste like?
Bro's mom is the reason he unlocked the driving achievement for 100 points
981 is a legend. good to hear your story!!
Never thought he’d drop a interview 😂
I wish more people drove like @wheres981. I might get home from the city in less than 2 hours.
Imagine everyone drove like it was a Nascar track
wish briq was apart of this too 😢 what a legendary video
unbelievable tbh
I think I speak for some here when I say swimming sort of was catching up with no hesi in 2020 then next thing we know 981 puts out heat with only less than 1000 subs doing things we haven't seen online much up to that point
lots of other renderers joined the game, and now we have different sources to watch content and see where this goes
This isn't unbelievable. Anyone in the internet, and truly in the car scene could have easily seen this coming.
If you haven't seen this online, you haven't looked. Tons of videos have been uploaded, swimming or no hesi is nothing new.
These guys are legends in the making.
my boy has made it big. Been his sub since 10k
