In this video that turns out to be just as odd as its title, New York City Mayor Eric Adams waved a checkered flag, prompting a waiting Department of Sanitation driver to hit the gas on his bulldozer and bring doom on a pile of ATVs and motorcycles.

A line of roughly 30 motorcycles and dirt bikes stand waiting while the bulldozer charges ahead to crush them. The video clip shows that the driver gets about halfway through the line before needing to reverse and unstick a pesky motorcycle before charging back down to finish the job.

According to a statement by New York Police Department Commissioner Keechant Sewell, “Since January the NYPD has seized over 2000 of these vehicles citywide. As the mayor said, that’s nearly over 80 percent more than we took by this time last year.”
