Broadway Bomb 2023💣 - Racing through the heart of NYC on a longboard?! 3rd place finish POV

The inaugural Broadway Bomb, every year in October hundreds of skateboarders and longboarders race down Broadway to see who can get to the charging bull first. This year, I ended up getting third and you guys can see my POV from that. Hope you all enjoy!

FELT LIKE I WAS IN THE RACE😎

[@takethecurseOFFwashingmachine]

Love that dude on the popsicle skateboard deck in the very beginning. I got a lot of respect for that

[@user-qg3nj1sv8j]

I found a reissue fiberflex that I desperately want to get, it's like a modern version of the Zephyr boards you see in Lords of Dogtown.

[@eBoard3R]

*Congrats!* 🤙🏼👌🏼👌🏼🤙🏼 Nice variety of decks/boards at the start

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Thank you!

Incredible Ride Jayson :). I was keeping my fingers crossed that no people in blue should stop you like the last time. Congratulations for winning a place in the podium :)

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Yeah lol, thank you Krishnan, I also had my fingers crossed, I'm glad everything had worked out for me

Excellent race Jay!! I went to the event on Saturday. I didn't know it was gonna be on Sunday.

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Yeah if it rains on Saturday then the rules state that it will be on Sunday. Hope you had a good time, rain skating is not for the faint of heart

[@senseivegan]

@@Mr.MeetJay Thanks for the information. Stay safe out there.

[@Mr.MeetJay]

[@garrettsmith3310]

Nice job bro, congrats on 3rd place 🤙

[@Mr.MeetJay]

[@tituslazare2064]

4:46 The fact that I kicked your board going full tilt and neither of us fell 💀

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Yeah probably was the skate gods blessing us, cuz that could of been badd

[@solecheck]

You can always tell when a longboarder was rides in nyc traffic from the lines they take.......those were all veteran og moves.......way to represent Jay!!!!

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Haha, Thank you bro!

[@solecheck]

@@Mr.MeetJay i meant was an nyc rider.

[@NeoStoicism]

Nice man! You know you're at the head of the pack when the only ones near you are on e-skates!

[@emaychay]

Duude the way you sped up to catch up to lead, I literally thought my youtube video speed was set to 1.25x. Impressive as usual, but this year you were crazy good!

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Hahah yeah, I can give those spurts whenever it's needed. Thank you for watching!

[@nadm2723]

Very impressive!

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Thank you!

[@skating.in.circles]

Great footage of the lead pack! What camera did you use? Seems super steady while you're bobbing and weaving

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Go pro hero 9. And thank you

[@organicx8214]

How you get join this kind of events. Or get notified about them

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Follow me on Instagram, I share all kinds of longboarding events and races (IG.Jay_Sevv)

[@Joellercoaster]

I love how angry literally everybody else on the road is about this.

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Haha yeah some love it and take pictures and some absolutely hate it

[@Sugar_n_Salt]

thats nice

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Thank you!

[@danielelindsey2213]

❤🙏

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Thank you!

[@aloneboarder]

What’s your average speed during the race, Jay?

[@nadm2723]

It's 8.5 miles and his time was about 32 minutes. So distance/time ... about 16 miles/hour. That's ridiculously fast, not to mention on normal NYC streets in ordinary traffic.

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Just about right, thank you for that @nadm2723 and thank you @aloneboarder for the interest!

[@zhukie]

Jail for sure in Australia lol

[@thecertifieddoctor]

yall see the dude with the paddle pushing normally?

[@open_ogen9]

Those electric guys... How do you feel about them? I would get nerveous and also annoyed by them.

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Usually they are really helpful and block traffic, record us, this year they were in the way at crucial points when I needed to chase down, so it's a toss up.

[@linpaul]

Damn I be loud as a mf😂😭😭😂

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Bro I appreciate it, I heard that and was like ohh that's Linpaul instantly 😭

[@footbikeable]

I am stunned stiff. Impressive is the least I can say. One question, since you broke all possible traffic rules: is this at all legal? How come you have not been arrested and gailed? Your stunt is unthinkable in Europe. Congratulations for filming craftsmanship.

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Nothing illegal though

[@vendetta6584]

Damn homie you be pushing for like a solid 5 minutes and people still be passing you

[@user-qg3nj1sv8j]

Alot of the people passing were on eSkates considering he was going up against electric boards he did very impressive. Notice how just about everyone passing him don't have to kick their feet they just standing on the board riding

[@19card89]

[@Mr.MeetJay]

Yeah, the 3rd Saturday in October. If it rains it will be on that Sunday, the next day

[@19card89]

@@Mr.MeetJay sounds good hope to see ya there!!

[@Mikovv]

Just curious because I don't live in the US. Is it legal?

[@Mr.MeetJay]

No it's not legal.

[@usualsuspectrider1367]

c'est dommage que la courbure de la planche ne puisse pas rendre de l'énergie...

[@Alieninthenightstudios]

Awesome video... felt like I was right there... I'd rather earn my workout like you did, without electric motors, I'm old school and in shape.. wish I was there! 🛹🛹👍
