The Sketchiest Crit in America? (Blue Dome Pro Men)

It is important to me to emphasize that criteriums are a type of racing in which risk can be rewarded greatly, but they do not have to be dangerous like this. Attitudes of the racers, course design, and officiating are among the few things that are improving but still need work. We hope to show these tough scenes not as a glorification of the danger of the sport, but as a source of context for riders, fans, and officials on how racing can be made safer on all fronts. Bike racing has risks, but it is a sport that needs racers, fans, organizers, and officials to work together, care for one another, and improve so that it can grow and bring to the surface all the other amazing parts of the sport that aren't crashing. Wishing the men here a speedy recovery and hopeful we can make the sport better and reduce these incidents by increasing awareness of the situations that lead to these unfortunate circumstances.

The barriers are awful, with the foot sticking out into the road. In Europe they switched to the ones that lean back so there’s no foot and more space at the top …..

0:21 mark - "oh sh*t I didn't know that." Not sure why that cracked me up LoL. Great stuff you guys!

To say that US crit racing is strongest in the world is pretty crazy statement 😂 you have 1 world tour guy without teammates and he wins by far. You should visit local euro crit race to see the level of riders.

Thanks for getting me into racing! I rode my first criterium last sunday and enjoyed every meter of it. Unfortunately i am still way above my desired weight, the course was way too technical and hilly for me (30m height over 1,6km with 15 corners, multiple choke points with only space for one). Only ended up in P9 in the university class and 4 laps down, but nonetheless an unforgettable experience. Also i learned a lot from your videos, otherwise i wouldn't have done so well for my first time

If you pause at 7:40 it almost looks like the barrier starts angling inward and that's what caused the guy in front of Justin to get squeezed into it.

The flat spot on the tire agrees with your breaking assessment 😂

Love the vids bro

7:31 This is where my spidey sense went off. Guy in the white doesn't have good control of his bike at this point in the race anymore. By a stroke of luck he actually dodges the crash, but can't tell from the camera what caused it.

I must say, nice camerawork by the Winspace! Even whilst crashing it managed to keep the action in frame 😀🙌

crazy how one world tour pro with no team can effortlessly win. theres levels to it

I've done 1, 8 corner crit in my life. Never again, as a serious but not professional rider the risk just isn't worth it. There are plenty of decent 2, 3, and 4 corner crits that are more enjoyable.

Thx for the great footage. I hope the injured riders get well pretty soon. Can you guys comment on that beautiful and fastest bike in the world, Simplon Pride 2?

Very Paul Greengrass/Jason Bourne camerawork. Flashback to another time ;)

US Crit racing is the strongest in the world! Also US Crit racing with 3000m to go: 💀

damn lot of videos lately. It's really nice

You’re right. It’s 10% fitness 90% ability. My friend Luke won that. And he was breathing through his nose the whole time.

great, but the most important part is, "how is the new bike after that?"

May I ask what software you used to make the video!! This data presentation is very intuitive and beautiful. I like it very much. Can I know how you did it? Thank you.

Pls stop with the clickbait algorithm titles.
