They're kind of idiots, but they're considerate idiots who aren't imposing their shenanigans on other riders. So really, my major gripe is just the fisheye lens.

Heh. griphus + explosion = my reaction. My eyes hurt from the image distortion, and I simultaneously love and hate the idea of stunt skating in the subway.
My enjoyment of the soundtrack is unalloyed, however. That was very well chosen.

There's a trench between the tracks that is deep enough to lie under. There was a "subway hero" a few years ago that jumped down there after someone who had fallen and the trench was big enough for them to both survive.
There's generally all kinds of trash and debris down there on the sides, pretty sure the train would have enough clearance even if it didn't end up in the trench.

^True.
And I mostly want to think that.
But I also know that I would grumble majorly if I were upon the subway and encountered them.
Especially if I were on my way to work.

I know they're douchebags. Although admittedly that's an easy call to make, seeing them do barely-controlled skating stunts around people who are riding the subway. I don't think you'll find all that many people who are regular riders of the NYC subway who would disagree (unless they're skating fans or like to think of themselves as "subversive").

If they were trying this on packed trains or crowded hallways I would think less of them, but as it is they're mostly empty late night/early morning trains. The skating is fun to watch + nice soundtrack. Thanks OP!

I'd think it was entertaining just like the kids who come in and breakdance for tips and do like full backflips and twirl around the hand poles just after rush hour and sometimes kick the roof and nearly kick people in the faces and stuff. Just find 13 year olds putting down a boombox and moving people out of the way to breakdance with barely controlled fury on a moving subway entertaining. They always have like one little brother too that's like 7 who's their hypeman and sets up the boombox and collects the tips. Hilarious.

And how. I couldn't care less about kids skateboarding on an empty car, or in an empty station (provided that they don't sue the city in the event they get hurt). But when there's just some poor schmuck sitting in the train car, surely wondering whether the kids are good enough skaters that they're not going to fall on him--that's deep into douchebag territory.
The kids have assumed the risk; the guy on the train car is just trying to get home.

There was like person sitting on the train and it's even money that they were with the skaters. Even if they weren't all the guy really did in their vicinity was skate by.
The baby kicker was in a cleared space with 20 feet of clear space all around him. If you're in a crowd in the city and you're not watching your kid well enough to prevent them wandering into danger, then that's on the parent.
Also, even if it were the breakdancer's fault, and even if the subway acrobats do dangerous stuff, it has nothing to do with what these guys are doing.

To be fair, we're no longer building subway cars out of aluminum foil and balsa wood, so I'm pretty sure any lasting damage from collisions is going to be on them and not the cars or station itself.

"Oh dudes like move over cuz I'm gonna be grindin' this thing right here.." pointing to the step that we were SITTING ON. I'm like, what the fuck, now the skaters can tell people to move out of their way? We moved over but now this guy had a critical audience. He tried it 20 times, fucking it up every time. After each attempt one of us would be all, "Ooh, nice one!"

So you can careen into passengers who just want to get home intact, yank open train doors, wipe your shoes all over the handrails, launch skateboards onto the tracks, and take emergency exits with alarms while there is no emergency going on all so you can show your buddies how willing you are to injure yourself, but pulling an emergency cord to stop a flasher assaulting you is the greatest of sins?

While the video didn't make me think of it, the comments have reminded me of C'était un Rendezvous (youtube, mefi).
I love the film. Every time I watch it, I feel alive and exhilarated. I think it's a fabulous execution of an amazing idea.
But I absolutely hate the fact that he made it. It was irresponsible and put people who were completely uninvolved and unaware of the production at risk of death.
Its ability to create such a conflict in my mind – total approval and simultaneous total disapproval – is fairly unique in my experience (emphasis on my experience, since it works this way on me but not on everyone, as the mefi thread proved).
I have no idea if this was Lelouch's intent, or if he just thought it would be cool and didn't care about the consequences, but I don't place too much importance on artist's intent; the work has the final say. Its effect is profound, and if someone asked me to list five artworks that best define what art means to me, it would be one of them.
So tldr - what griphus said. They're both annoying and awesome. We don't have to choose, and that's a great thing.
FWIW I have never skated but do ride transit. Good luck ollieing on and off of my bus, though.

Blasdelb: "You can... take emergency exits with alarms while there is no emergency going on all so you can show your buddies how willing you are to injure yourself, but pulling an emergency cord to stop a flasher assaulting you is the greatest of sins?"
To be fair, the emergency exits are used all the time. They're not hooked up to any sort of notification system, they just make noise. If there's any kind of line at the normal exit, someone will use the emergency one. It's annoying, but that's about it.
And you should NEVER pull the emergency cord in the NYC subway if you're being assaulted. The emergency cord is a brake, which stops the train, and could leave you stranded in a tunnel with no exits and little ability for help to reach you. The only reason to pull the cord is if continued motion of the train is going to injure or kill someone, like if a person has gotten stuck in the door and (somehow) the driver or conductor hasn't noticed and has started the train.

Public infrastructure is really expensive, and plenty of people feel they are being overtaxed. Still, many of us would like to see continued investment in public goods, like transit. Toronto's 78 new subway cars cost $237 million. Would people be just as free-spirited in their approval of boarders doing tricks off their personal $18,000 Corolla as they are of them doing so in the public's $3 million subway car?

You know those awful nubs and dividers they put on park benches to prevent skaters from grinding on them? Well, I would actually be in favor of those on the subway.

Drunk going-home-from-the-bar me would find this pretty awesome about inversely proportionate to the crowdedness of the car and would probably cheer/egg them on.
