Riding Inclines in the Riverbed - 1993

[@welkerroad]

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

[@Superbikefilms1]

They sound great. Thanks for watching.

[@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.

[@BQN2010]

He's looking for John Connor

[@Superbikefilms1]

Yes!

[@aaronbrown5252]

Terminator riding position.

@@aaronbrown5252 Absolutely. Thanks for watching.

[@RogerDiotte]

I was going too say like another poster...that SOUND of the bike! Totally brought me back in time!

[@Superbikefilms1]

Great sound. Thanks for watching.

[@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.

The murder rate per capita was higher then, they had other stuff to worry about. Now they have time to get all involved in petty stuff.

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.

[@Moondoggy1941]

We used to ride in the cement ditches between Orange County and Lakewood in the mid 70's. There was a dude that would go straight down on a skate board with chalk wheels.

[@Superbikefilms1]

The good old days. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@Porsche996driver]

How awesome is that ha. Guess that’s a Kawi. Using the toe technique to feel the slope, that would be intimidating at the top. See how he just focuses down range. Also every local in SoCal can do a 360 or at least a 270 ha. Back when you only had “stories” lol.

[@Superbikefilms1]

It is a lot steeper than it looks. I was on the camera. I was impressed. Thanks for watching.

[@BMAC321]

No chicken strips on those tires. Respect

[@aaronbrown5252]

Definitely one way to scrub them off!

[@dank9288639]

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

[@Superbikefilms1]

There's still time. Thanks for watching.

These are the cops I miss

[@Superbikefilms1]

Oh, man. Right you are.

Looking like the terminator he’s so smooth

[@DodyIrawan-qj9ik]

@Superbikefilms1 Yup.. Especially with those Closed big half Fairing windshields .. And Deep Blue Uniform.. Indeed exactly like KZP 1000 T-1000 Robert Patrick ride in Terminator 2.. CHiPs bike in 1980's ussually had a clear HD Windscreen 🙏 and theyre Uniform are Tan .. Also the Helmet CHP in year 1980's i think used a look like PASGT Helmet/ SWAT than a half Face Helmet by mostly bike Officer used in Year 1990 1995.. Anyway' Thanks for ur attention My Friend.. Keep posting 🙏🙏🙏

[@Superbikefilms1]

@ Will do. Thanks.

[@liamwatts8597]

Can't do this with a harley

[@Superbikefilms1]

Maybe with couple of beers.

[@honkerman74]

That’s one way to get rid of your chicken strips

[@Superbikefilms1]

That would kind of be cheating? Thanks for watching.

[@honkerman74]

@ I don’t know about that, a lot of riders wouldn’t be able to manage riding like that

[@Superbikefilms1]

@@honkerman74 Agreed. It's a scary thing heading up that steep grade. Once committed, you are committed. No parachute.

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

KZ-1000P a most awesome machine I miss mine.

[@Superbikefilms1]

A classic. 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.

[@davidc9488]

What kind of bike is it?

[@Superbikefilms1]

Kawasaki KZ1000 police bike.

Yeah!

[@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.

[@fernandobazo6369]

God old days!!

[@wordreet]

Heh, I'm gonna say that a Harley may not to be able to ride up at that angle, not enough ground clearance! Hmm, it'd prolly have to go steeper to avoid scraping!

[@Superbikefilms1]

Right. I think any bike could do it if the tires were god sand the rider was chill.

[@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.🏍

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)
