Get An E-Bike & They Can't Complain About The Noise, I Know Some Will Still Complain. Thank You. (Comment #492)
Take it to a track
The thing is even if these guys were given a place to do it they wouldn't go there because they prefer public roads and the adrenaline of evading police
Tryin to say a wheelie on a quad is hard is wildly funny
I was part of something like this in the eighties. Heston Services and Chelsea Bridge every friday/Saturday night then Box hill on a Sunday afternoon. It was a nuts 'lifestyle', bikes would come from all over. One big stunt party until plod came down hard. Helocoptors and road blocks! They even changed the roads to stop bikers from racing at Box hill, reduced from dual carigeway to single lane!
Heres the thing: It was fun but cost me a fair few bikes and needless broken bones. R.I.P. those who didn't make it. Good luck to the new gen, hopefully they will get through without the pain and loss but by the looks of it, they are just as daft.
Love it
wot iz dis innit blud, ya git me. an dem weed an ting FFS. GO SOMEWHERE SAFE AND DO THIS STUFF. STOP ANNOYING OTHERS AND CAUSING PROBLEMS. LOL TELL ME A PROFESSIONAL BLIK RACING BIKE DRIVER.
At least they are all adequately insured to compensate for the damage, life changing injuries or death they might inflict on on others…
Oh, wait.
Get a freaking electric bike and do all the wheelies you want
If a bike can't wheelie, I ain't gonna nick it bro.
ken what if you were weiring a helmet instead of a balaclava i would be on your side.but your garb shows you are a criminal
You breathe, you eat, you sleep, you ride.
No mention of work in there 😂
Bums
I've been riding motorbikes for 20 years now. I was kinda into this stuff a bit in my first five years riding, but then I guess outgrew it and now into riding in the countryside, riding fast through twisty roads, it's a much higher skill level and much more of a thrill. I get everything they said in this video, it's a shame about the noise but this is a way better hobby than watching football. Plus the older guys can guide the younger ones a bit, like a big brother, that's so valuable these days. Surely the police have more important things to do (going to prison for a wheelie risks them coming out as a criminal).
These lads are just the modern day equivalent of the old mods charging down to Brighton or wherever 50 handed. The clothing and ethnicity has changed but not much else (less fighting most likely)
Fantastic work as always guys
It’s a sport,they’re athletes……what a crock of shit
My heart that man has a kid
Getting six months for doing a wheelie is well excessive.
All the government needs to do is create a space where we can ride and do wheelies and stunt
How do they afford them ? Don’t say they’re all nicked
fucking peak bro
"What's poppin kermy"😂
How many of bikes are stolen
This so called bikelife culture you younger gen keep calling it didnt start in America…riding bikes illegally n all that we have been doing for yrs in the uk …
Not a single brain cell between them.
We done this when we were kids u nearly 40 now mate give it a rest.
one really good thing about electirc bikes is that they are quite no one can hear u
onewheelwavy is stilllllllllll active after allll of these years cmon!!!
You wana see skill? Go to a track
Some good riding but u ride like bell ends in out of traffic no need
big up one wheel wavey
The general public will not be sympathetic to the cause when your doing that on the roads all the time. Be better keeping it to the field, get some jumps set up, maybe a proper track. Bloody hell it's not like wheelieing off road isn't fun.
Get a job and get off the roads.
no plates, no licenses, inept police just let them go .
Spread across the world is mad we was doing this at 14 15 over here 😂
Imagine being a grown up, getting in trouble to do a wheelie 😂
Late model 150r is the statement bike‼️
