Tagging buildings is so last year. Pick up your game by tagging an entire subway train car. This adds a wholenew set of challenges - you have to complete the piece before the train rolls away, and you have to watch out for subway security and police, among other things. If this happened in the United States, I’m sure that they would have been arrested as terrorists. Watch the video. I apologize in advance for the horrible quality.
