Bill humorously commented, “I put my leg behind my head. You son of a bitch. You’re in.” His comment suggests that he appreciates the talent and skill required to perform such an act on a moving train.
Another reader, who seems to be a seasoned New Yorker, remarked, “Meh, its NYC they’ve been doing that shit forever.” This sentiment was echoed by several others, with comments like, “This has been done since the 60s. Nothing new except for the camera,” and “This has been going on for years.” These comments highlight the long-standing tradition of impromptu performances on NYC trains.
However, not everyone was unimpressed. One reader found the performance to be quite entertaining, stating, “Perhaps, but this was pretty sick. They’re definitely talented.” Another reader compared it favorably to social media trends, saying, “Its better than a random tiktok thot just hi fiving people.”
Despite the overall amusement, some readers expressed concerns about safety and hygiene. One reader warned, “It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.” Another was particularly concerned about the cleanliness of the subway, stating, “The last place on earth, especially after COVID, I would put my bare hands on is a subway train floor.”
