The Great Escape

May 10, 2008 | Filed Under Graffiti | 7 Comments

Bombing “Le Metro” is equivalent to getting the METROLINK in Los Angeles. It’s the city’s railway system guarded by security 24-7. Very few writers can say that they’ve painted a METRO before and to be able to pull it off without getting caught is neary impossible, but do-able. You get 20 minutes TOPS, to run into the subway, paint, and be out before security can smell the paint fumes through the tunnels due to the way the airflow works in there. The icing on the cake is to be able to see it running around town the next day and take pics because there’s a zero tolerance level for this and it will get buffed within hours. Seems like that tolerance level for our train just went up a couple of notches cause it was running all day. Go get your wetwipes…


METRO LINE 8 – Paris, France 200SK8


SMASH MTS


Only had 10 seconds to be able to take pictures of the stuff and it came out blurry.


Wait! Wait! Waaaiiiittt!

  6. yes neat you are correct…butt this particular spot is difficult to do…in the paris metro there are tourist plans that everyone and there moms knows about,people come from all over europe to hit em, and there is local, more hardcore plans that just u and the crew do… thats where u get your wholecars and end to ends with 15 colors… but to run inbetween stations, duck rush hour metro traffic, and paint 50 feet away from a station that ALWAYS has metro security with dogs, ALWAYS, is pretty difficult…and with the brand new GRAFFITI TASK FORCE leader…he is out for blood…shit gets harder everyday, people be gettin raided n shit…vive le tourisme!!!!……….true story

  7. That’s dope that you handled the 4 panels in 3 days. Much props to you on that. Just curious. How long ago was this and what lines did you hit? Needless to say I’m sure that each person has their own personal stories to interpret in regards to the METRO. But thanks for contributing to our blog. It’s always good to hear from other heads. Peace.
