Legend has it if you swim in the East River you don’t need the vaccine
Boat tour through the river: $28 Lucas: I´ll do it for free on the NYPD boat.
Man you're an inspiration to me, seriously, I want to still be riding my bike and doing crazy shit when I turn 50

@@del7i540 Firstly, he looks younger than a hell lot of 30 year olds I know. Secondly, I didn't say he was "old" what I'm saying is he's still having fun likes he's in his teens. Being 50 doesn't need to be waiting around looking forward to grandkids. You can be 50 and still look forward to shreding every day.
Lucas cleansed the water during this voyage. The East River is now clean to drink from.

Assume there is some tidal influence on the river’s current. If so then there should be a optimal time to do that crazy swim. A decade or so ago the pollution would definitely have killed you. We

Kids swim in the Citarum river. They don't die. At least not instantly.
Was surprised they let you back in the river, lol. They were cool about it. I can understand why they pulled you out of the ferry lanes. Those things go quick and you'd be fish food if one didn't see you in time.

They actually brought the boat in closer than I thought they would, as for the ferry / speed boats, I was ready to dive deep, I can hold my breath for 2 minutes
You should change the title of this video they saved my ass lol
Reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld when Kramer would swim in the east river.
Watching Lucas’ channel always gives a new perspective towards how to live a life!
This reminds me of Seinfeld when Kramer swam in the Hudson river he smelled like the river for a week.
You’re like Kramer from Seinfeld, swimming laps among the dead bodies 🏊 💀
The police are kind, I think they will arrest you but they didn't. You are a great swimmer Lucas ☺
When's the next alleycat Triathlon? You already got running in the Le mans style standing starts (potential for parkour though), Why not some no-fucks-given swimming? 🤣
The Manhattan Bridge is my favorite bridge . The part of Brooklyn I was born in is right over the Manhattan Bridge. Dekalb Ave.
Kept the cap on too. Keeping real, all day, every day.
I remember seeing kids swimming way north of there many years ago. Glad the police helped you out. Guess the currents are similar to the Hudson. Awesome vid. I have to check that area out san the swim.😉

The East River has a tide that rises and sets because it is half fresh water and half saltwater. The Hudson River is all fresh water and flows into the NY Harbor. The East River connects from the harbor to the Long Island Sound (past Roosevelt Island then Riker's Island, etc). Then the Long Island Sound dumps back into the ocean.
Once again Lucas has woken up and chosen chaos
Making your own fun, love it!

NYPD water taxi so cool!!!
brave man. I wouldn't even touch that water, the amount of sludge, garbage nd bodies at the bottom is probably unfathomable
I always had a desire to swim in the NY Harbor or the East River. It would be terrifying and larger than life and wonderful.
You’re a legend
Yo this is like one of my nightmares, The middle of the water. Lmfaoo
You are crazy! Keep doing it!
American cops being nice?! That's a new one and they gave you a free boat ride. Awesome little adventure!
Thank you
Fact: there was no less than at least 1 shark near him the entire time. Idk about sharks/accidental human killers, but if I randomly saw someone I didn't know in my house, adrenaline would kick in and things would get physical and bloody at the bare minimum.
this reminds me of when kramer was swimming near the same area?
I once dropped a Blackberry for work in the East River.....didn't think twice about going in after it. You tha man!

so this is something you dont see everyday, but it is something i thought about today and thanks to the wonderfull world of youtube, and those crazy youtubers, i get to see something ive always wanted to see.. someone swimming in the east river. Now.. for many of you, You may think whats the issue?. Well.. The east river is DANGEROUS. its legendary in that people that attempt to swim in it die, due to the strong currents and under tow. And i mean. people who jump who are not professional swimmers quickly find themsleves in waters thats very different than what it appears on the surface. Its violent and fact. and often their is no fighting where it will take you which is often out into the greater hudson river which is even more powerful and more violent. NY waters in general are not to be toyed with. These are real rivers, powerful rivers. and not forgiving to those who are ill equipped to travers. And to make matters worse... shipping lanes.
I live by the East river, and have my whole life. I was always warned that the current is extremely dangerous and many people have died attempting what you did.

Hopefully this wasn’t after a rainstorm or else that river is filled with sewage runoff
When I was like 18, friends and I fished from the Whitestone Bridge stancheon (Bronx side). My lure snapped off on a cast, and I had to climb down the ladder and swim a good bit into the river to eventually retrieve it. I was not a strong swimmer at all! It was not a smart move. I made it back to shore exhausted and could really feel that current. My fishing was done that day 🫤
