Riding MTB Urban Freeride in LA!

[@Enemiesexposed]

Im 49, homeless, and still riding bmx, or moto almost daily bros. Dont give up.

[@hanglooserecluse]

I don’t think he gonna give up anytime soon, he has over 1 million subscribers

[@LowLifeLoozer]

He's homeless???

[@Enemiesexposed]

Yes. I am unhoused. I dont think I worded my comment right.

[@hanglooserecluse]

@@Enemiesexposed I knew what you meant. I hope your situation gets better. Meanwhile Joe Biden sends $100 billion to the Ukraine instead of looking after his own people like yourself

[@davidlloyd8198]

Keep ur head up bro, must be hard on the streets.

[@richdiscoveries]

Bro I'm 44, been riding all my life, still ride mostly every night once the kids are in bed, even up here in Connecticut with he snow like we have today. And I'm still out of breath after a hard ride.. Just keep riding, keep pushing, yeah it gets a little tougher over the decades but it's even more fun as time goes on. Stay safe and God bless my friend

[@hunterprice321]

Have you ever heard of 413 ride

[@can_with_beans]

Hey man, 44 is still young, and the more you ride the younger your body stays. Funny enough, I learned about this in one of my uni classes today (I'm a med student). A study showed that in a comparison between elderly people who started training physically at an older age, compared to those who trained when young then took a break for an extended time, only to train again at an older age. In the second group (those with the extended hiatus) would have their muscles return to a state much closer to that of someone who is young. Either way, exercising is good, but it's even better if you keep exercising all through life. Let alone the other benefits of MTB fun!

[@JimG89887]

As much I love riding trails, theres nothing better than taking my MTB out and cruising around town doing freeride stuff in in the places I used to ride my BMX.

[@Tommy-u4y]

10 out of 10

[@333333333797]

Agreed

[@ScottyDoezntKnow]

Lol 10:07 is where you meet that "legalize weed" dude in GTA V and shoot the aliens/clowns while hallucinating.

[@Bman62296]

It’s crazy how close you ride to people lol I guess being LA they’re probably used to it for the most part. Doing that where I live people wouldn’t appreciate it much 🤣

[@zepos]

That's what I'm thinking 💀

[@ChrisNewham]

Long time watcher here, loved todays stairs content and just riding around downtown, I'm never likely to go to LA and so its so interesting for me to see the goings on in LA I always watch to the end. I know the action cam changes the perspective but man some of those gaps you ride dunno how you do it and folks never seem to cus you out. Hope your back to 100% soon.

[@damonvermillion3963]

Thanks!

[@GabeGarcia]

Love seeing you on a full suspension ! Looks like a fun time 🙌💯

[@Jamohhh]

Dude said the sidewalk is crazy 😂😂😂 like you shouldn't be riding there anyways

[@fredfleming8905]

Those stairs were sick I am surprised at the suspension that bike has to take all that beating. I remember back when you broke your ankle years ago I believe. Hitting stairs looks like it would be a sure way to break it again. 😂 Fred in Texas

[@dani_fun936]

14:05 idk how that bike is capable of carrying this guy's massive balls of steel tbh

[@Pigpen1202]

I really love the new bike. The most I have ever spent on a bike is $2000. You are the King of riding

[@AfterA_Gaming]

Loving the videos on this new bike, always loved the dirt jumper videos and this is pretty similar. being from the UK it is great seeing the sights of a city I've never been too through my favourite medium on bikes. Found your channel during the pandemic and loved watching the older vids as well. Also feel the need to shout out on 17:17 the random guy wearing a Newcastle United soccer jersey in the middle of L.A. Just because it is my home town team.

[@kathywebb6606]

Macy’s stairs were fire 🔥. Take it pretty easy while you’re recovering from COVID; you don’t want to have a relapse while we’re in a bad flu season.

[@kolemilo2317]

What psi do you run when doing things like this??

[@OnyxAdventures89]

Theme music coming back, for new chapter of hicks I hope 🎶 🤘

[@tonyhuang8727]

That was fun to watch. If you're leaning left or right when you're pulled back for a manual use your knees to correct. Think about how a boat or plane uses is rudder move the object left or right - your knees act the same way. Hope that help!

[@funkyribs]

Bro you have no idea how much I look forward to your videos man. They've literally saved my life, please keep it up. Much love from Sweden

[@Robin_Hood381]

Sick bike man, enduro bikes are probably nearly as capable at going DH as downhill bikes. You've got an absolute weapon in your hands in that YT Capra

[@GearWave]

I was doing this with mountain bike and bmx buddies over 20yrs ago..... so much fun. would have loved to have the go pro back then..

[@EVERYTHINGBUTFAMOUS]

Glad you’re still grinding bro. Stay safe out there! That ride through the shopping place heading to Persian square was a nice shot

[@itsianwood]

Just AWESOME! These are by far the best ones! 👍

[@davidblanc458]

The macy's one was dope. Ask the security guards if they cannot block people while you go down the stairs.

[@itr0863]

Loving the Capra. I got a jeffsy and it’s awesome. Adding a Capra to my quiver for bigger stuff would be nice

I'm from Atlanta so I've been in snow but I wouldn't call it "proper" snow cuz it's literally only a few inches and melts the next day xD

[@Mcnugget23]

I have a question,you aren't pedaling when doing wheelies,why its so much easier

Because he's doing a manual not a wheelie. They are different maneuvers.
