"Last weekend, New York got a snowstorm like we haven't seen in years. Most people stayed inside, spending the days with hot chocolate and movies, but a few brave souls ventured out into the crisp air to see the city empty and untouched. I walked three whole blocks to my third-closest bodega for chicken over rice, but motorcycle YouTuber TripleShift went one step further: He outfitted the tires of his electric Stark Varg dirt bike with studs, and went ripping through Brooklyn and Manhattan."
"TripleShift's goal was to hit New York City landmarks for photo opportunities, starting with Washington Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn. The street is usually crawling with people getting a shot of the Manhattan Bridge between buildings, but TripleShift had it all to himself. He then made his way to Jane Motorcycles in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and crossed the Williamsburg Bridge to head to Radio City Music Hall - right next door to the old Jalopnik office."
A major snowstorm blanketed New York City, keeping most people indoors while a few ventured out to experience empty, snow-covered streets. One rider equipped an electric Stark Varg dirt bike with studded tires and used the conditions to ride and photograph iconic urban landmarks. The route included Washington Street in DUMBO, Jane Motorcycles in Williamsburg, the Williamsburg Bridge, Radio City Music Hall, Times Square, and Washington Square Park. The ride showcased familiar views without crowds and highlighted the unique appeal of urban snow riding, inspiring others to consider similar winter two-wheeled adventures.
