MINT Sports brings you the latest in Illegal Bicycle Street Racing. Jesse Pilgrim from Portland Maine organized the event on September 4th. Bicyclists had to pedal from Munjoy Hill to the Western Prom in a all out traffic frenzy for the finish. A stash of cold brews awaited the winners at the top of Portland's infamous Tripping Tree. Patrick Helmsman does his best to cover the story along with camera crew Andrew Barbo.

Three things.First, I did go waaaay overboard with the "REAL BIKE" stuff and I deeply apologize for the first comment in general.Second, Street Style is like the racing games, you know, Sprint, Circuit, Drag, Drift. These races are completely different from long-distance racing, and require a different mindset and (generally) a different bike.Third: I have no direct proof about 40+ MPH speeds, so Im not gonna say anything else about that. The tire thing is only for very short drag races.

Don't know what you mean by "street style racing",but the only bikes that are slow starters are track bikes,not road bikes.This isn't a car drag race,so I don't know why you're posting comments like you're some awesome biker telling people to get "real bikes" and making shit up about riding you're bike at 40-50mph,which would only be down hill if you're very lucky or if you're sketching on a car,and definitely not with half flat tires.You're just plain stupid.

Let me explain: Race bikes are geared for top speed, which makes them PAINFULLY slow in street style racing. This is why the Walmart aspect of the Southfield bikes is emphasized in my video. Obviously you aren't into cars, or you would see how slightly deflating a bikes rear tire (down to about 40 PSI) helps acceleration. When a tire is deflated more of it touches the ground, giving it more traction which leads to a better start (although this decreases the top speed).Do you understand now? :)

Wha? Good or bad? And why isn't my reply to Aaron518 showing up?

"Real" bikes don't come from Wal-Mart and don't have "mods" like a license plate and a "slightly deflated rear tire for better traction",which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Pretty stupid there guy.
