the amount of control what

[@lf1980]

@@YREHCorp I think the issue was he didn't have control. Just dumb luck. if there had been an elderly person or a toddler there...they'd have been fucked up...and that's pretty fucked up. Want to kill yourself, fine....don't put pedestrians at risk.

[@error.418]

@@lf1980 Nah, while he went out of control of the line as a whole, the moment to moment control was on point and he cleared everyone, relax

[@lf1980]

@@error.418 like i said...if there was a person in the wrong place on that path there's no way he could have stopped himself from hitting them. The fact he calms down a lot for a bit as he gets back on the road is evident enough he was shaken. There's no way he meant it, there's no way he thought that was controlled, and he and everyone on that section of path is bloody lucky no-one was hit. do it around cars...injure or kill yourself. Don't put less vulnerable people at ris he controlled himself, he wasn't in control. I'd argue there is a big difference. Great to watch and he's a freak...just wish that bit didn't happen and put peds at risk bro.

[@CloverMind]

I've been hooked on Ari's insane blading for a week now, but somehow your cycling in this video seems no less insane. It's impressive how you managed to keep up with Ari shooting through every single nooks and crannies of the NYC traffic.

[@tor13128]

well, he had to slow down many times to not pass the skater though. so he kinda invited the struggle to shoot through the nooks and crannies with the skater by continuously slowing down to stay behind the skater. from what i saw in this video, the cyclist would've been long gone if he had opted to pass him.

[@gbrhythm]

Holy smokes. Jedi-level. Those lines are sick. Hollywood couldn't even pull off some of those scenes with stunt-drivers and choreography. @3:15 it's hard to believe that's even real. 😯 Great entrance @0:42 btw. Classic Terry B. production. 😉

[@SolWake]

Yeah they couldn't because a production would get shut down immediately for safety. The skill and talent on display here is incredible, but it's also way more dangerous/risky than any workplace would allow.

[@usertwn]

@@SolWake so actors/stuntmen dont get injured while on set?

[@SolWake]

@@usertwn Of course they do. That doesn't mean they take casual risks. There are safety standards to minimize risk of injury, and narrowly whizzing past moving vehicles like this goes a bit beyond those standards.

[@shroomzys]

I'm a street skater of 20 years and I skate daily pretty much everywhere I need to go. I've pulled off some insane recoveries, a couple almost as dramatic as 3:15 but I guarantee that man saw his life flash before his eyes. His skills prevented him getting hurt, injuring or scaring anyone else much it seems. Still, super reckless, at least he had a helmet but I never use one, just wrist guards. I'm considerate though and wouldn't endanger pedestrians like that, flexing for the camera can get people killed, especially street skating somewhere busy.

[@rageburst]

Yea, this stunt could have easily gone sideways. It shows that sometimes you have a goal in mind, but it doesn't always execute according to plan. Plan in advance, but also have a plan B for when something can go wrong. He ended up endangering the pedestrians because he was going waaaay too fast.

[@ryanboothfilmmaker]

That’s Ari! He’s actually that wild all the time. You should come out to one of our Wednesday Night Skates. Union Square Park at 8p - there’s like 150 skaters like Ari that roll around the city for a couple hours :)
