“Emergency Brake by Casey Neistat” is the first video on the Casey Neistat channel. The video has over 1.9 million views as of October 2022. The video is a list of dos and don'ts about the emergency brake in the New York subway system. Neistat criticized the MTA for failing to specify when the emergency brake cord should be pulled. According to the video, the emergency brake system should only be used when the train’s motion poses an imminent threat to life or limb.
On February 23, 2010, Neistat released a six-minute film called Chatroulette on Vimeo. It describes the Chatroulette website, how it works, and why people use it. Various experiments are carried out in the video, and the results are presented in stop-frame animations. According to one study, people on Chatroulette are much more likely to talk to a woman. While 95% of people “nexted” Neistat, only 5% clicked away from his female friend Genevieve.
On June 7, 2011, Neistat criticized the New York City Police Department for ticketing cyclists for riding outside of marked bike lanes in New York City. In the video “Bike Lanes”, Neistat encounters an officer and receives a $50 ticket for riding outside of the bike lanes.
Neistat then rides his bike in the lane, crashing into various obstacles, supporting the argument that lanes aren’t always the safest and are even sometimes impassable. In response, New York Magazine dubbed Neistat a “Bike-Lane Vigilante,” and the film received widespread coverage. In addition, Time named “Bike Lanes” the eighth most creative video of 2011.
