This is EXACTLY WHAT THE YOUTH OF HARLEM need to see. Someone who looks like them succeeding and kicking ass in a sport that they too can do well in. If it motivates one young underprivileged kid. White or black to stay off the streets. Then this is way more amazing than Justin's win. Although that's pretty dope too.
lol road cycling is the least inclusive sport on the world, its impossible basically unless your parents are rich and the sport is run by rich white guys, good luck
You men are so talented, so strong and such a thrill to watch. I live on Long Island not far from Manhattan - too bad I didn't know Legion was in NY, I would have come to spectate. Congrats on a thrilling win!
I was about to ask what ol boy in the light blue jersey’s problem was going body so early (and needlessly) then I saw a clip later with him going body on another rider... smh... anyway, love seeing that teamwork, communication and symmetry... congrats on getting that podium and representing cycling... and major S/O to Harlem/NYC for coming out and supporting the race and riders... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@nationsnumber1beast that guy in the light blue doing the rubbing just won races at Intelligentsia and Toad and he's already served a 2 year ban. He's known for using a lot of body english to get into spaces.
I always look forward to the alert of a new video from you and your team. Keep up the Great work! Hopefully Ill get to see you guys in person if your ever around the Treasure Coast of Fl for a race.
Corey Congrats to Justin and the entire Legion LA team on a hard fought win at the Harlem Skyscraper Classic. You had me on the rivot of the saddle watching your video. #nationsnumber1beast #legionLA#1
Congratulations justin you guys nailed it. I am sorry I was not there to show me support ,my mom died so I had to fly out the day before, I hope you guys had fun in new York .keep it 100 G.
There are so so many thumbs up and just 4 thumbs down. Who the hell are these odd balls? Lol Anyway, Justin is my favorite rider in the world and his brothers and team know how to work it. That lead out train is the shit! It’s fast, nothing gets up the inside or over the top. If someone sneaks in, they know how to shuffle them out. But in the end, it’s that big ass 1800w sprint that seals the day. Oh, and I love it when Justin and his teammates throw up their hands as they cross the finish line and seal the victory. These guys are just so bad ass!
Don't blast me, because I'm new to racing...but at 2:00 who has the right of way and why...is there such a thing (racing etiquette) or whatever. I can see it going either way, but curious in case I'm ever in that kind of situation. Love watching these videos...learn alot, you guys rock!
What’s the team strategy to beat Legion? It seems like they’ve got the winning recipe down and they keep repeating it. How can a team beat this? Ps - all due congrats & respect to legion for their success
To beat a team like legion a team must be very smart but I feel they would also have to be very aggressive by being able to just beat down all the members through the race. It would be no easy task though.
Kyle Tabor, Oh, that's simple really... 1st, There has to be a team with as many guys with excellent race-sense and timing, whom can ride that hard for that long; 2nd, Said team must drill their own lead-out train to perfection; 3rd, They have to be able to stay calm and organized as a team under the most intense race conditions; 4th, They must thrive in close quarters and amidst heavy physical contact; 5th, They need to impose their own will on the race and not just follow LEGION. ...See. No problem right? :$
@@itsobj5013 If these guys were normal I'd agree... But, legion would just put a guy in any serious break and win from there. They have the numbers and the strength to either, sit in and win a field sprint, put a guy(s) in the break, or go to the front and ride everything back together. Even if the team got tired and only the sprinter had legs at the finish, How would they outsprint a guy when they can't even keep up with his lead-out train.
These guys went to a crit that was disguised as a roller derby. Never seen so much unnecessary body contact in the early laps. Good teamwork and closing out the win.
@@Ninjump Not fuzzy, surprised tho, that they are not registered as a Domestic Elite Team. They should be. Winning Pro/1/2 races weekly and that Stars and Bars on his back tells me he/they should be a D.E.T. Time to level up.
Justtin, I race with you alot, and it's really disheartening seeing you and your team win all the time, sometimes you're not even winning with skill, sometimes you're cutting people off if they managed to block your sweeper, i get behind you, you look under your saddle at me, then because you know Corey's not there you pull a pretty cheap move and and come right across my front wheel to block me passing on te left turn on the inside which make's me have ti break and let's corey get around me and you guys take the win. I don't actually think you guys are te best in most fields, but the fact tat you use a sweeper who is basically nothing but fodder (your dreadlocked brother) all he does he shoulder people out of your slipstream etc. Do you really feel pride that you were te best guy in te race, when you basically burn like 7 guys, using all of them to block everyone else and lead you out just so you can win? I just don't think it's ethical. You don't see tat in Pro cycling is all im saying. I've lost 3 races to you guys basically sqamping me and they taking te line you know i need and slowing down making me ave to break. It's not called Cycling, Tats called Bullying. Everyone else worships you for it, im pulling you out on it. You're trying to be a rollmodel for "Diversity". (I don't know what the hell tat even means... Diversity in Cycling? People are racist in cycling. DO you think all of us white guys started Cycling because we thought "Hold on, I'm white... I'm from a middle class family... i should join the Elitest of the Elite white sports, no blacks there"... NO. When i was 7... i saw Tour De France., I wanted a bike because i wanted to rid like they do in the Tours.Do yo uthink at 8 i was thinking, "I hope no black kids start cycling". I honestly tink you're a cheat, i think you're a fake. You're calling for diversity, BASICALLY insinuating white riders try to disuade Black kids from becoming riders. Man f*ck that. it's just not true. If an 8 year old kid decides he loveos cycling and finds out he's good at it, JUST LIKE YOU, He'll persue it. But they don't.... WHY? Because of RACISM? NO JUSTIN. Because they don't want to, they're not interested in it, they wanna be Ball players. Stop the diversity and racism sh*t, you don't mean it, and you're only using it to get sponsorship, to get yourself and your team some world wide noteriety,and i think it's cheap.
This is EXACTLY WHAT THE YOUTH OF HARLEM need to see. Someone who looks like them succeeding and kicking ass in a sport that they too can do well in. If it motivates one young underprivileged kid.

Beautiful! Justin Williams.
We're racing for 2nd...says everyone .
Cognitive Dissident Not when Sean Mcelroy is leading Justin out. Every one is racing for *third, not 2nd lol
Great Job representing 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Gil Eagan thanks!
Love seeing all those beautiful black faces at a cycling event.
lol the disrespect is real to that attack at 3:42
Nice lead out man!
I love this team and video.
Todd Wilson thank you! We appreciate your support!

Any chance of you coming to Australia to race?
Big team , Very good guys
One Word: EXCELLENT!!!
Post race footage was awesome!
Shon Swett thanks I had to get it on camera it was amazing the way they treated us
nationsnumber1beast nothing but love! You guys keep at it!
Cool POV footage!
On a flat course like this, how many gears are you actually using? Do you use the whole range or just two or three gears and the big ring?
Perfect leadout!
Pause at 6:37 and look on the bottom left. I thought that guy was out cold for a second lol.
Textbook race tactics. Know when to go and then commit completely to the effort. Nice win for the team.
Do you have fan kit jerseys for sale?
Love this

It's a beautiful thing!

Do you see how this race becomes a different ball game at 4.00 minutes? Damned smart rider that Williams.
Thad Was A well done execution 👍
What camera's justin got on his helmet, is that a gopro session stuck on directly?
Correct
Nice job!
Just one word
Damn!!!!!
Intense🔥

Idk, this seems pretty normal. Keep in mind this is the highlight real, so only the best parts make the edit :)
That's the Skinscraper for you
It wasn't that bad to be honest. Normal for these crits
When you will visit the Philippines??
WHYYYYYYYYY was Legion not at Pro National Crit Championships???????
gooblegobble we are not pro
@@nationsnumber1beast Yes you are, you just don't know it yet!!
