RIDING CRAZY URBAN DOWNHILL, PEOPLES REACTIONS ON MY E-MTB

[@fpvtv2222]

Hey John. What's up with the pedal strikes? I have been riding mtbs for 10 years and never had a pedal strike unless I was going over an obstacle and didn't level the pedals. Most of the things that have caused pedal strikes for me was roots, rocks and a curb but not often. On a full suspension mtb it's important to properly set the sag for your weight. If the sag is not properly set up it could cause pedal strikes. You may want to check into this if your suspension is adjustable. Really great entertaining video have a good one bro.

[@face2facewitchu]

Most definitely suspension needs more air.

[@CRAO1]

I don’t think the new viewers know this or not but hicks is one of the coldest with the video camera and the edits . Hopefully one day he’ll do a nice cinematic video

[@RoachDogggJR]

His like four year thirst trapping outside of shooting bmx edits really killed his OG following off

[@Spencer_R_07]

Dude I thought when you dropped us you crashed, thank God you're ok man

[@bwjvlogs]

Very glad too see another EMTB upload! Finally going too make the purchase after this winter and I’ll be riding back and fourth too work save me a ton of money in long run! Plus epic adventures

[@terryjones7778]

Thanks man ! Your gonna make me buy a EMTB in 2024 😂

[@russellzauner]

upgrade your own bike for cheap and you won't have speed limiting - I never installed the speed sensor on mine lol torque only. Works perfect. No limiter so you can run it to its limit - if you blow it up you'll know partly why the limiter is on the commercial bikes.

[@donnytucker]

Glad the crash wasn't bad and you weren't hurt! I used to go skate on Christmas day because there was no security. Best time ever!

[@615Tka]

Always bro

[@CRAO1]

It’s always a good day when hicks posts 👏🏻

[@TonyMontanaXx]

Who

[@femacampetiquettefordummie6979]

Why in the world would you leave auto-shift on? Just simply turn it off and tell us how much you like it, or dislike it.

[@ewesey]

bro been complaining about autoshift for multiple vids now and doesnt turn it off

[@Dilnem]

He talked in a different video where he was riding this bike he said he turned it off but found out it helped him more than he thought and he kept turning it back on

[@MadDogTM]

7:17 depending on which ebike, some have it where you can tweak settings, on the more expensive bikes, but some you can mess with wires or controllers and upgrade those and batteries to go faster. by ebike goes 35 though usually, or less on a cold day

[@jdavis954]

Ay foo jus be careful u be going hella fast thru residential spots and in one split second u could accidentally go down or crash into someone and hurt them just be safe brother

[@NolanKupono]

If you ever make it up to Seattle, I’d love to show you around our mountain bike trails. They are world class.

[@BigRandyR]

Merry Christmas, Man! Thanks for another entertaining video.

[@EmotoTheWorld]

That ice @ 4:20. Is it kept cold from something underneath? We barely have ice for skating up North.

[@FINNBOGI69]

Shout out from Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦 love the channel! Its like a real life GTA vibe just cruising around exploring the city lol. Keep up the great work and be safe out there🤙🏽

[@halfmoonmario3]

Love the grind bro💪🏾 Been watching since you made that first hill bomb video. Stay safe KING

[@ToasterWithin]

Keep, up the good work. i love your content.😀

[@JohnHicksFilm]

Thanks! 😁

[@christianpringle486]

Bro love watching your videos. Such an inspiration always gets me out riding my bike after i watch! Keep up the great work!

[@ashtond8860]

Your laugh is funny as hell man, happy holidays bro

[@cxr2]

00:01:18 BRO THE CAR WHEELS

[@russellzauner]

if you have to go to the shop, rather than keep sinking 75-250 bucks a pop into parts (I break idlers and derailleurs quickly) I opted to throw a few hunnies at it and get a IGH built (I went for Enviolo but Shimano and Rohloff make hubs too) and converted my sprockets to Gates Carbon belt cogs. Literally bulletproof and zero maintenance. Problem solved. Some people are getting tens of thousands of miles on a belt and it doesn't need grease. I am not affiliated with any of these products I am just a happy user with 100% uptime since the conversions. Ask your shop guy!

[@lanceberry4905]

Love the daily post keep it coming

[@trab185]

Merry Xmas and thanks for the constant video posts

[@williamsnyder1205]

Big John, great ride, thought you crashed on those stairs, glad it was just a camera mount, WoW !!!! Till the next time, peace ✌ out!!!

[@thetrumpdayz]

My man got the Seth Rogan laugh. i've been binge watching feel like im on a bike

[@Fictitious_Character]

Sweet video, and that bike is awesome, a stair bombing beast.

[@13_13k]

Hey, John... cool video of an empty downtown. Where you started this video, on 6th and Beaudry is one block from where I live. Isn't there a super steep set of stairs at the Angel's Flight trolley near Bunker Hill? I don't know if you can ride those stairs, though. They're pretty gnarly and so many tourists taking Angels Flight one way and then the stairs the other way because it's free ride down the trolley but they charge to go up or it's the other way around. I don't think they would let you ride there but Dodger Stadium has sick stairs along the outside of the stadium and the parking lot. There are all kinds of stairs throughout Echo Park and Silverlake not far down near Sunset and Alvarado and Glendale and Sunset / Alvarado. The areas are not too sketchy and may be worth looking into on Google Maps or Earth to find some cool spots. It would make some good footage because of the cool vibe around that area. I'm at 5th and Bixel and there may be something in or by the Belmont High School or whatever it's called now, some learning complex with the elementary, middle and high school all in the same place. But it's pretty hilly around here, might be worth checking it out. It's pretty crazy around here as far as crime goes, though. Westlake was listed as the 3rd worst neighborhood in LA for crime. You have all the street vendors on Alvarado and on 6th, always crowded. Be cool be safe

[@andrewh5107]

Hi John. Great content. What kind of run time and distance in miles do you get with a full charge?? Thank you for sharing!!

[@theunknownvlogr]

Gittin r dun on Xmas day 🔥 🤟 right thru the photo shoot lol

[@Jens.M]

I just love to see the same places where I was in the vacations! Like the Pershing suqare. So cool

[@midvalleymexicans4167]

I just got my new matain bike the other day. Its kinda like your but no motor. Its a Nukeproof Scout 29er. I am so Stoked !!!!

[@higgoist]

I absolutely recommend a helmet, you have a long life to live! I also love your videos, wish I had such amazing urban areas to ride close by.

[@HippieMTB]

Youll be surprised what that bike can handle. All you did was ride stair sets. The parts on that bike are enduro rated. Go check out enduro and downhill. Its a reason why its called an MTB and what you have is a proper MTB that will hand some chunk on the trail. Make some vids of you putting that bike to work on the trails and learn how to set up your sag and dial in your rebound.

[@superdooper6969]

ok boss, right away boss.

[@MrWatras1]

7:58 whats that black thing disappearing on the road?

[@itzcaseykc]

Maybe now you'll bring an extra mount with you... just in case, ya know. Nice ride-along.

[@andysam81]

Damn, the ultimate stairs line remains unconquered 😢 Amazing video though. Keep up the awesome work 😎

[@nickmanolakos1224]

Ay love the videos I’ve been watching since the no jumper days

[@Strange_Brew]

I really like his videos watching the decline of La and presumably the rest of the world. It’s like watching an apocalypse movie. Better than watching some guy wheelie for half an hour! I like doing the same on my ebike Christmas Day or New Year’s Day in San Diego.

[@ld1mtb]

Try looking at your derailur hanger and tightening it had the same thing on mine Btw love the vids me and my dad love watching them together

[@richdiscoveries]

Merry Christmas brother

[@stu7588]

[@bicycledad7660]

Can you put a shorter crank on that bike ?

[@danielcarubia8694]

Thought you wiped out, was just the camera. Anyways Merry Christmas from me and my daughter, we're big fans all the way from Victoria Australia. Keep the videos coming!

[@socal310]

just pulled up on the homie flaco random asf 😂 💪🏾shout out the homie W John you know what’s up 💯

[@dat1guy594]

Love your videos - but this one might get me killed. Makes me want to go ride stairs - but I’m almost 60 years old. I still ride almost every day, but I’m going to leave the stairs to you and I’ll just watch and wish I could still do such things.

[@leechavarie4675]

Get some Miranda 150 mm cranks , work great on myTurbo Levo .

[@hopeimright2026]

[@615Tka]

The bro Hectic

[@oviniandrade]

how are high end mountain bikes not meant to bump descending obstacles lol

[@OFFICIALRAMKO]

Great video! Isn’t LA a dying city though? I read in many places that a lot of people are leaving the city.

[@Elninoesmuyintelligente]

Which place in the world is this?

[@mortezanaghdi5697]

Hi, where is that city name ?

[@brianY333]

A bike named NukeProof breaks while riding on the street 🤔

[@dreknows]

You laugh like seth Rogan brother

[@ChristopherHernandez-po6gy]

I want to meet you John on a joyride

[@BowskieTech]

Nice. Checkout my top 5 e-bike list on my channel.

[@mjgII]

do you guys think it's possible to gamble with a bouncy ball and escalator?

[@James-ec9vv]

Mountainbikes are not meant for that and break easy when you do it?🤔🤔🤔

[@DaGGaS25]

u wiped out pretty hard there John, are u okay man? U don't even looked bruised or anything?😯

[@alphapred]

GoPro? Thought you broke your neck!

[@KjSammy]

Dude, you’re putting all the pev community in jeopardy of new laws because or your careless riding. You’re giving the bureaucrats the power on “video” to show how careless “some of us can be”

[@teddy_123.]

Nice

[@enis8870]

You may as well do BMX if your gonna be out there doing all THOSE stunts 😮

[@bigbrad3441]

Don't give up on a hit so easy. Next time just tell those guys you want to hit 8th and FIG for a youtube video. Sweet talk them.

[@kevinkamm]

✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

[@PieroMastrana]

Pls dont use the auto shift. You are taking all the fun out of riding that bike

[@sharpy44]

Let’s ride in scv

[@maytrixyya3070]

[@raulcanelo1103]

[@jd.1245]

seth rogan laugh

[@anziety604]

holy shit you're the reason drivers hate bikers or what lol. half way in and I lost count how many times you didnt follow traffic laws lol

[@stephenbinkley]

So why can't a surron identify as a mtb

[@jayzizzle1234]

I would say it's because mtb refers to a primarily pedal driven bicycle, while a surron is purely motor driven and therfore more off a motororbike. The word bike is a bit misleading in this case, since motorbikes originate from pedal driven bikes and are eversince called bikes, too. Also i would say a surron is no longer "just for mountains". For me it's an offroad E-bike in the end.

[@shredditsbiking]

get your sag fixed.
