ASPHALT CPH - JUMBO, THE FASTEST CAT IN TOWN!

[@SLOPPYASSBASTARD]

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.

[@senismarsenis9678]

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

[@SLOPPYASSBASTARD]

Thank you, I run block with my homies.

[@phlufff_fxd]

Agreed! Its not in a show-off kind of way at all

[@cmonster67]

"My goal is to ride without being in anybody's way," my respect for you just went up another +10.

[@stevemulvey6092]

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.

[@0xsergy]

Cars are on track to cause about 8 billion deaths with the climate change disaster

[@EmoverePictures]

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.

[@SymianMusic]

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.

[@AntonLisner]

10 years later and this is the man behind the Omnium cargo bikes! 🔥

[@YTIsTakingOverMyLife]

Hey, any brand in particular?

[@dennissantiago9525]

Oh fuck I need one now. I've been coming back to this video for years!

[@MrAndMrsGrover]

Finally a featured bike messenger who actually takes the other traffic into account as being people.

[@boarder614]

0:51 ...not really.

[@keithwashco5891]

sick one handed wheelie around the turn !!

[@ast3362]

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

[@kattihatt]

Did you even see the video? He doesnt care about anything or anyone in traffic. All avout the rush.

[@ast3362]

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

[@acme1273]

Total support!!

[@CasparWilson]

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?

[@theforgottenbrawlers]

TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

[@franciscogardunocarmona1773]

Awright!!! Super fast! Respect from México.

[@curbsidestories]

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!

[@jonpanoff]

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.

[@jumpa01]

"Quiksilver" baby one of my favorite movies!!!

[@wilpowerproductions]

man bro..ur a great filmmaker!!!! keep up the dope work! Wilpower.

[@knoblauchgourmets]

great video! props from berlin

[@Latexlaila]

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.

[@Aaosj]

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.

[@EMC2Scotia]

Cool guy, great rider. Reminds me of an old melbourne messenger named Dan Ash, best courier i ever saw.

[@M3iscool]

The Black Keys, or Dan Auerbach's solo album, can't tell. LOVE THEM.

[@shidoink]

dont let them get you down! you make some great videos.

[@kpjotr]

1:01 - 1:21 Wheelie Bonus $60 Distance: 538 feet Time: 20 seconds :DDD

[@DiscoFrisc0]

Cheers Asphalt, il try to reach him. Best regards and keep making those great documentaries.

[@TheSmileSavers]

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

[@aztecasteve]

great vid and even better soundtrack always found that black sabbath intro kinda creepy, but nonetheless awesome song

[@dietmarhofer1651]

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/

[@Austin393]

Great video. Couldn't of picked a better song.

[@Zoootex]

amazing video, thanks for sharing!

[@TheSmileSavers]

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

[@curbsidestories]

Thanks alot, join on FB if you like -see link above. New Asphalt episodes from NYC coming up soon.

[@K9V1]

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?

[@K9V1]

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.

[@jwawawa2]

u think ur so hard but ur not and ur really dumb im 13 u dumb fuck

[@Hammdog]

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.

[@verdeboyo]

Man you are too cool on that fixed wheel. Stay safe bro!!

[@DWpeep]

Awesome dude! It's always a rush to ride with speed and dodge traffic!

[@freddixon]

That Rocked!!

[@kadett75]

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.

[@1210MIKES]

That was quite fkn awesome really guys got great bike skill

[@Andrilla111]

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!

[@kariitofrik]

amazing.. im from southamerica, my boyfriend its a fixie rider, greetings, sorry for my english

[@joachimpeiper7471]

This dude is awesome.

[@Cambaudio]

+Joachim Peiper he'll also be dead soon.

[@joachimpeiper7471]

Cambaudio Maybe. Maybe not.

[@Cambaudio]

Victor Fath Well, there are goals and things I want do with my life rather than act like a careless Juvenile :)

[@TheSmileSavers]

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.

[@trivalentlogic]

is this the guy that designed the omnium cargo bike?

[@Keatonrogers]

Dope!

[@isaachaze1]

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

[@Frederik29071996]

0:52!!! ohhh shiiiit! ;-) nice riding skills!

[@jjwachter82]

DC messenger here. Jumbo's on point.

[@TheTravelVlogger]

Awesome!

[@lbc161]

oh man, this guy rules.

[@EMC2Scotia]

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.

[@fishingoliver]

Have ya thinked about mountain biking? Its so dam AWESOME

[@sukkyatlife]

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

[@Gigaamped]

Best out of the four!

[@RidingWithJahv]

really cool!

[@faithnoman]

He broke his own rules by making that truck driver panic.

[@edaput6412]

chainring and cog combination of good that's how, so that feels light skid?? thank you

[@coindrop]

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.

[@vankallahan59]

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?

[@MrAnarchy26]

was this beginning footage shot with a VHS GoPro?

[@curbsidestories]

Thanks baws!

[@irwanshah4032]

ohh..lovely

[@Peopleboy100]

this dude is legit premium rush ;)

[@AweInspiringTSH]

What's that thing over the back wheel for? For holding packages?

[@thisishere3071]

very cool

[@hocenplocas]

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!

[@Tomeksiena1995]

Dude!!!!! your freakin' fast :)

[@BlueBoy0911]

Great song choice Sabbath kicks so much ass man

[@lt1eg6]

Two sides of the same coin. At the end of the day, one sits comfortably in a two ton metal object, the other on a bike. There are morons in both worlds. Plenty of evidence to hate both. Just do what you do, look at this guy, lives happy everyday come rain or shine, he wasn't made to work in between 4 walls and he enjoys what he does; If others do, then salutes to them too.

[@bouba664]

looool at 2'32!!! nice vid

[@RidinDutch37]

He's awesome

[@lilzuck]

your fucking amazing bro

[@francobettinif]

This is great!!! Can you remind me who plays the initial song please?

[@christinakoller3621]

reply 8 years later :) The Wizard from Black Sabbath's debut self-titled album.

[@sirmixalot3332]

Christina for the win! Nice

[@RevoltingRudi]

how often he needs to change reartire?

[@burnt-reynolds]

+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.

[@RevoltingRudi]

ok. i tried the "thick slick" but they doesn´t impress me. so i stick to german tires like schwalbe or continental sportcontact

[@samrockwell9820]

+Steve Warris try continental gatorskin, supersport plus or vittoria randonneur

[@andris2345]

I use really cheap tires, have to replace them about in every 3 months

[@100littlecurses]

isn't there a movie like this coming out?

[@hockinm1]

Love the Danish for "worst case scenario" 2:00

[@klimota]

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.

[@201294stj]

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.

[@martinpokmat2252]

you are amazing rider

[@curbsidestories]

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...

[@freddieandthedrillers]

Am I right that this is a guy who won trackstands in Dublin 2007 Bike Messengers World Championship?

[@khazza930]

just how is this any different from reckless driving? "because it's fun" and "know your limits" doesn't make it OK... I'd freak the hell out if a cyclist passed by me like that, whether I'm driving, cycling, walking or just standing still.

[@Richifornia]

I ride a old schwinn 10 speed road bike :) this guy is inspiring I wanna be a messenger

[@sanddollarscholar]

0:47 it's really too bad there wasn't someone to give you a ticket for that reckless move. it's no wonder I have so much trouble riding without drivers giving me a hard time with people like you on the street. there are plenty of traffic loopholes cyclists can *safely* exploit. look into them.

[@vankallahan59]

Stop whining. I ride that exact spot several times a week. If you know the traffic lights this is one of the more easy crossings, because it is a 3-way intersection with several stops for cars making left/right turns. So he is in fact exploiting the very loophole that you talk about. And if you are not from this city, do not comment about the riding. You do not know the streets or the lights. So shut the fuck up, dude.

[@donfahkindjango]

Rigor Mortis Driving into the oncoming lane is never a good idea bud. I know Rådhuspladsen so i'm allowed to speak right?

[@donfahkindjango]

Rigor Mortis Ok Ole Henriksen

[@thecastman97]

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

[@NuTTo117]

what frame did he use?

[@pangalop]

What`s the song in the end?

[@djCsyck]

is it just me or did 0:06 seconds to 0:12 seconds look like 1979 ?

[@tie7626]

what bike is that

[@benyaminnooristani8597]

That's just one of the best fun way to ride a bicycle

[@Rick8231]

Great video and your English is fine. You write better than the majority of people I run into on a daily basis. Keep em comin. BTW, thats not correct English either.

[@DiscoFrisc0]

@AsphaltCPH It's probably been asked already and you've probably answered it, so in advance sorry to ask.... again ;) I wanted to know what bike you ride and most of all what's the brand and the model of your wheels. Cheers keep cruising with that great style of yours and most of all stay safe. PS: I had some great rides everytime i was in København, great city, great spirit PEACE from Paris :)

[@danielmenatian8250]

*WOW!*

[@Jkub101]

@Austin393 wats the song? thanks in advance

[@Jethinobamino]

what gear ratio is that?

[@flippnawesome]

so this is where the movie "Premium Rush" got all their ideas from...now i get it...

[@BabylonGenocide149]

0:52 the fuck!? Mad fucking propers! This dudes a beast.

[@curbsidestories]

ANYBODY INTERESTED IN AN ASPHALT EPISODE ON BIKERIDERS FROM NYC? Be a member of the Asphalt group to be posted on upcoming episodes. See link above.

[@from_invest]

Что за город и страна?

[@stayhandsome]

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.

[@MrSammy2812]

Fedt arbejde, Jumbo :) /Delta

[@sukkyatlife]

that's equivalent to 48x16 or the standard fixed gear out of the box setup

[@mikkelmuk]

Er der nogen, der ved om denne cyklist er i live endnu? Måske kører han lige så vildt i kørestol?

[@NeillWylie]

Jumbo can ride!
