Look at This Teen Jumping Across the Subway Tracks Like a Damn Olympian


April 8, 2015 | Liam Mathews

Look at this kid! He’s an incredible athlete and also a big dumb-dumb.

This video was originally posted by the Facebook group New Yorkers and shows a kid leaping between two subway islands at the Bedford-Nostrand stop on the G train. This is my stop, so I feel obligated to inform you that the center track he jumps over is rarely used.
If he didn’t clear the gap, he wouldn’t have been in danger of being run over. I don’t know if that fact detracts from either how impressive or how dumb this stunt is, but it’s worth noting. Man, kids sure are stupid about trains.
