Riding Inclines in the Riverbed - 1993

Incline riding in the riverbed in Costa Mesa, California in 1993.

[@tangledline]

Nice. As my instructor back in the day told me "Trust your tires" (just make sure they are aired up properly) Subbed! Love the skating. Miss the old days.

[@Superbikefilms1]

Yes, tires! So important. As you say, they must be properly inflated. Also, as I once found out, they mustn't be past their prime if you want to be racing them. I'm going to put up some video of that incident sometime soon. Crashed my bike after doing "just a couple of more laps" when I knew they were already done. Thanks for subscribing! Much appreciated.

[@welkerroad]

Such a distinct sound on those bikes. Takes me back to childhood.

[@Superbikefilms1]

They sound great. Thanks for watching.

[@williamforbes5826]

My old Seca 750 sounded identical to that KZ. Air cooled four into two. Ah, how sweet the sound!

[@Superbikefilms1]

Thanks for watching and commenting. They do sound sweet.

[@mustbetrue1602]

Massive respect for pulling off rear brake slides on a 700+ pound bike. Doesn't seem like much to some viewers, but I couldn't pull that off as smoothly as he did. Remember when a KZ1000 cop bike was a big bike? I have a 900lb Goldwing that would make this look like a dirtbike.

[@Superbikefilms1]

He's a great rider. Thanks for commenting, and for watching. Gold Wings are huge. I always thought it would be cool to see the best racers race some Gold Wings at Laguna Seca.

[@brandonmacon3317]

Maybe a 600 lb bike at most with everything on it but still required skills none the less 👍

[@theqrealm]

Balance and the tires that used to be the best🌞​@@brandonmacon3317

[@Superbikefilms1]

@@brandonmacon3317 Agreed. Thanks for watching and commenting. We are uploading a lot of motor cop training videos as we move along. The L.A.P.D. guys stripped down theirs for training. Some really nice sequences of how they train coming up.

[@brandonmacon3317]

@@Superbikefilms1 cool deal and will do. I'ma get some brass you know what and try to tackle a couple police training courses. Them dudes can surely ride a motorcycle 👍

[@tlfreek]

Ponch, you are a rockstar!

[@Superbikefilms1]

Yes.

[@Superbikefilms1]

He can skateboard pretty good, too.

[@Smokingunnz91]

Times seemed way more chill

[@Superbikefilms1]

Yep.

[@TheJoseG]

Yeah, this was the year after the LA riots lol Joking aside, it was fun to watch and I like that he borrowed the skateboard to do some tricks for the camera and be playful.

[@Superbikefilms1]

@@TheJoseG Oh yeah, the riots. I rode around in them on my motorcycle just to see what was going on. Wouldn't do that again.

[@Model3GenerativeANdroid]

that's the same motorcycle that T-1000 used at the Cyberdyne building.

[@SIUDubFiend]

That IS the t-1000.

[@Superbikefilms1]

He looks like T-1000

[@Ashman151]

These are the cops I miss

[@Superbikefilms1]

Oh, man. Right you are.

[@DreamwalkerFilms]

Epic. Buddies and I made the moped short film "High Five" at this location in 2013. Last time I was in the area, all access to the river was fenced off. Bygone eras.

[@Superbikefilms1]

Where can we see the High Five short? Yeah, the powers that be have made good spots harder to get to.

[@BMAC321]

No chicken strips on those tires. Respect

[@redsky7527]

I’d rather have them all playing in the riverbed than passing out cites on Newport Blvd.

[@Superbikefilms1]

Yeah. That was the era when cops still wrote tickets.

[@dank9288639]

nice! ive always wanted to do that in the santa ana river bed!

[@Superbikefilms1]

There's still time. Thanks for watching.

[@JohnSmith-kw9yc]

Holy. shit! I can't believe he made it across that river!

[@Superbikefilms1]

I know, right? I told him to wear a life preserver. He wouldn't listen.

[@glike2]

We rode in these channels as kids with our BMX bikes and it was really easy

[@Superbikefilms1]

BMX!

[@ralphsawyer9535]

Early 70s all our skateboard wheels were ground into conicals from riding the sides of the San Gabriel "riverbed", trying to get the longest ride by going down on an angle and before you run out of steam angle back uphill and on and on.

[@Superbikefilms1]

@@ralphsawyer9535 Sounds good. I love skateboarding. Thanks for the story. Did you guys shoot any super 8 film of it?

[@ralphsawyer9535]

@@Superbikefilms1 Me and my neighborhood guys didn't but I have seen some from kids a couple years later, and Super 8 is exactly what they were.

[@ralphsawyer9535]

@@Superbikefilms1 We use to ride our dirt bikes from Bellflower to a little rinky dink dirt bike park in Cerritos thru that riverbed. It was $1 to get in and you could ride all day if you wanted to. We'd slide our bikes under the fence at the end of Foster Road to get into the riverbed. After a short putt we'd slide them under a fence and ride across a railroad trestle there in Cerritos and we were like within a couple hundred yards of the park. Good times buddyro... good times.

[@lookin420]

sk8 or die & ride

[@Superbikefilms1]

Skater cop. Thanks for watching!

[@dnbstreamer]

Looking like the terminator he’s so smooth

[@Superbikefilms1]

Ha ha. e does look like the Terminator cop. Thanks for watching.

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

Sweet bike

[@Superbikefilms1]

I want one of these bikes. I would strip it all down to looking like a naked bike.Thanks for watching.

[@MayorMcheese12]

Why does it sound like something the Jetsons would fly

[@moto_guy34]

🤣🤣🤣

[@marktatum2592]

30 minutes after that shit kicked in

[@Superbikefilms1]

Maybe. 🤣 Thanks for watching.

[@amazingtbone]

How cops get rid of chicken strips.

[@Superbikefilms1]

That would be one way. They're probably not allowed to do this kind of stuff anymore, so, they may have to do it the old fashioned way by leaning it over.🏍

[@kennethwcole2879]

Most xolent offer

[@Superbikefilms1]

Thanks for watching.

[@xa9131]

Wow I was 18!!!!

[@Superbikefilms1]

Time moves on. Thanks for watching.

[@ouch74]

I wonder if the air pressure of the tires were lowered for better traction/stability?

[@Superbikefilms1]

No. He just went right up. Before this we had been shooting some radar footage on surface streets.

[@sun_dreaming]

It'd actually be much harder to do this with lowered tire pressure. You'd fold the sidewall with a bike that heavy

[@Superbikefilms1]

@@sun_dreaming I agree with you on that. Thanks for watching.

[@MrLeo3D]

3:21 why he dragged his feet, one then the other?

Don't know. Thanks for watching.

A classic. Thanks for watching.

Practice practice practice. Support the police.

True. You don't get to the winners circle without training. Thanks for watching.

Now do a U-turn 😏

[@Mickey-uy3bg]

FYI, that's not a river bed it's part of the LA river oh and by the way it concrete.................

[@Superbikefilms1]

Thanks for pointing that out.

[@upsdoug]

Costa Mesa PD. Likely an orange county location

[@purdyboi8078]

FYI, yes, Capt. Clueless, it IS a riverbed. Also FYI, 'riverbed' is _one word,_ not two. For the record, a riverbed is defined as ''The bed or channel in which a river flows' or 'The bottom of a river.'' It makes zero difference what surface the water happens to flow over. Oh, and by the way...while yes, good guess Mickey, it is made of concrete...technically it's what's known, by _literally anyone_ with a fully functioning cerebrum, as a "flood control channel" (The O.C. maintains 380 miles of them)
