There's no way they had that much pull to shut down the Bay Bridge, no one does. They've must of filmed that BB part on its last shutdown which I think was presidents day weekend in Jan and the rest was filmed iMay on the streets.
Posted by triple b (Member # 8763) on

I bet most of the places have donut marks already cuz he's been doing it for practice ion on the same location. Specially around the cable cars.
and im not taking anything away from him, I wish I could do half of the things he does

I was actually thinking that its not really done in SF? I know it looks like it, but anything is possible with computers these days.

Jae Jae & PSD both got it in front of their momas house...... Both in fords too. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Now I'm looking forward on seeing IF he does this in any other city's. Las Vegas strip, New York, Detroit, Washington DC & Boston would be a few cool locations I can think of.

They paid the city a million dollars to do this. The bridge was not shut down, they slowed traffic so they can film that section. And they had to pay the city extra to clean the skid marks. I agree it is his best video yet.
