Lol who knows but that seems like a terrible idea either way
I barely like going through yellow lights

esk8 guy went too fast into intersection, euc guy drifted to the left without signaling, bad place + bad timing, kinda unfortunate.
but more worse? the fucking driver who threw drinks at the euc guy

I didn’t watch more than the crash but that’s garbage behavior

Do they have a no-filming rule or something?

lacroix dude got some shitty reaction, probably wouldnt stop no matter what at that velocity but he could have locked the wheels and lost a good 10 kmh before impact
Why would you actively go through a red light? …isn’t that illegal?

In some states. Not here in Portland if its still safe to cross. They passed this recently and it’s been a god send to stay out of traffic and get out of the way.

jaywalking is illegal too. Its just not as big a deal as running a red in a car, most of the time the only people you put in danger when you run a red on a esk8 is yourself.

What would make it ‘safe’? Wasn’t there a car in the cross lane?

It’s all situational my friend. Gotta be able to make good decisions.

people shouldn’t just wander around in a couple of lanes without looking. stay in your goddamn lane or at least look behind you before you start meandering all over the place.
i’ve almost run into so many people because they’re just phoning around like blind stupid cows.

I said LaCroix, reason and this just my opinion, cars are big and will kill you, I’m definitely not a safety first kinda guy on a lot of things but I love riding and not dying. I will always slow down at an intersection no matter if it’s green. Never been on a group ride but I’d say with more people around you probably don’t blow by people. IDK that’s just my thought.

Oh shit I just re watched it to see the drink thing. Just know if that ever happens in a group ride or to me that guy has to stop at some point and I’m gonna piss in his mouth. That’s some bullshit!

I’ve been in one where there were over 100 riders, basically there’s no way to keep everyone together without holding up red lights at intersections. There’s only so many organizers, and there’s no way to have someone in the lead, middle, and rear of multiple groups if a red light occurs while the group is in transit and arbitrarily splits the group.

Exactly. We just use our hands like normal mother fuckers would so we know which way which asshole is going.
As you can see by the big lugs arm swinging to the right.

Yep before I group ride with any new friends I always brief them on hand signals so they know what I’m doing when I lead
