You’re in my hometown. Its not the worst place ever, but it didnt use to be like this at all. Its so cramped now, no cheap apartments, homeless population growing with no where to go, petty crime up so more boarded up places and graffiti. At least theres a bit of charm about the town, I love this place and wont be leaving for a while
That "what-the-hell-is-that" bike was a large cargo bike with ZERO electric assistance. Balls required. I live in Portland, there are good parts but we keep them secret. 🧐🤯😵💫🥳🥸
PDX is so changed since I moved north to Washington state in 2013. I still visit, but mostly out on the west side. Downtown has changed drastically. I was out on SE Powell visiting and saw some tents up on the sidewalk.
Another great e-bike video in Portland OR. Thanks for taking us on your adventures through different cities in the US. Hope your finger feels better soon! Love your videos and your content. ❤❤❤❤
🤣🤣🤣🤣the crazy zombie lady ....sure was scary...those eyes...she was scary....great bike ride and awesome to see portland downtown...all the way from Australia!!! loving these e-bike vlogs....😃
Hey Brandon! I lived outside of Portland for Jr. High/HS. I got to know you from TFIL/Overnight channels. Big Fan! I really enjoyed your play-by-play commentary & sound effects.
Love the commentary and love the t-shirt . Join you with the thumb mines the left one ( might be broke . Can't be bothered to sit in a&e to find out ) . Hope you mend soon xx
Your new front bumper look bad ass! Something like that would look nice on my lifted Silverado. Can you please share so.e info on your e bike? One of those would be cool to get me to work and back(about 11 miles each way).
I’m close to pulling the trigger on the MK4 Talaria but am concerned about being hassled riding in Portland. What is your experience? I would ride it very respectful on the public streets , but still think I’m going to get pulled over
Sick! Crazy ride on a crazy day. Couldn't ask for more. You got your homeless people, a happy trigger zombie, a nice park 🏞️ , a crazy train on fire 🔥 and nice ride on the streets against all odds. A new bumper with all the "works". What is missing? 🤔 The girls that has made famous Portland. Come on. The girls. You know 😉.
Your footage is so badass! Field triiiip!!! Lol I agree with you about Zombie Lady... Wtf?! Portland reminds me a lot of Austin, but Austin is no where near that bad on the homeless. It has tent communities, but it's considered safe land. Such a neat atmosphere until you get to that "one side of town". Stay safe! Much love!
Yeah if that was the worst of Portland, Seattle is wayyy worse. There are areas you simply don't go to unless you are looking to get in a fight or shot at. Even the ok areas can be dicy. A couple months ago, a block away from where we went to see Hamilton in Seattle, a guy waiting at a light in his car was shot and killed by some random dude, most likely he looked like someone who was on the hit list. That was the week after we were there. If I remember right the reason there is such an issue with homeless and drug addicts is because of the 2008 recession, people got laid off and lost their homes and a percentage turned to illegal drugs as an outlet. Because people in Portland and Seattle were more willing to give money to panhandlers, many moved to take advantage of that. Now we have issues with people pretending to be homeless for the money, at this point the best way to support those seeking help with food and shelter is to donate to food banks and rehabilitation centers. Anyways, that comment ended up being longer than I thought😂 Great vid and glad you stayed safe!👍
Yes I live in Beaverton the area where the train caught on fire and I went to Seattle and it seemed the homelessness is pretty bad compared. It has its areas but it’s not as bad
Yes downtown has its bad spots but the majority of people say these things either havent been downtown in years (used to be WAYYY worse) or havent been downtown at all.
So sad to see. I was born and raised in the 503. It used to be such an amazing place. Now it’s kind of sickening. The other side of the river is way worse for tents and homeless. You should have crossed over and gone to burnside. The transit system is amazing. Edit: I spoke too soon. 😝 The stroller thing is just a normal Portland thing. You should have gone to burnside though. ✌️
Dude... from all we are told of the "good old U.S of A"... being threatened with a fake two finger gun is nothing. Just luck Zombie Lady didn't shoot you for real and drag your carcass back to Tent City to roast you up for lunch. 😉 🤣🤣🤣 Also bet 'cool dude' was eyeing your ride thinking... "I could take this guy, one hit with my board and he'd go down like a sack of potatoes " 🤔
That was fun, thanks for taking us out on a bike ride! :)
14:11 Twin paranormal came there a few years ago,hu,pretty cool! great video man for sure.
looking forward to the next one.
Love the laid back adventure, thanks man 👍😁

You should have went to nw side. Old town, pearl district. Still not good around there.
What kind of bike is that? Seems super fast
Talaria Sting!
Don’t jump those bridges the Willamette river is so dirty there
Your new front bumper look bad ass! Something like that would look nice on my lifted Silverado. Can you please share so.e info on your e bike? One of those would be cool to get me to work and back(about 11 miles each way).
Okay it took me like 5-6 minutes to understand that it was your channel... anyways love your vids!
You should try San Francisco to see how it looks, might be tough w/ the steep streets though 😉
Definitely down!
I know this was a year ago but I feel like you missed the worst areas 😂 do Seattle on 3rd and pike. Not so bad in the mornings but give it a few hours
what kind of ebike u got i wanna buy one you roughed it up pretty good
Great vid bruv love that ebike wots it called and model might need to look at getting 1🔥🔥🔥🤙
Thanks man! It’s a talaria sting
How long does a full charged battery last on your bike ? That thing is awesome…
Zombie lady doing the finger gun for the win lol
About 40 miles of hard riding. Yeah that lady was nuts haha
You narrowingly dodged the MIB Neurolizer when you didn't get back on the train.
I’m close to pulling the trigger on the MK4 Talaria but am concerned about being hassled riding in Portland. What is your experience? I would ride it very respectful on the public streets , but still think I’m going to get pulled over

Yes I live in Beaverton the area where the train caught on fire and I went to Seattle and it seemed the homelessness is pretty bad compared. It has its areas but it’s not as bad
How long and how many miles do you get on an average charge on the E bike?
Around 40 miles!
Lmao was that citrus Elmo
pre like and reminder Brandon
Zombie lady in the chat 😅
You were on the on the waterfront
Be cool if you could do some haunted locations
That looked like fun... apart from being shot by a zombie...
What ebike do you have?
Love your vids
Thanks! Talaria Sting!
Yes downtown has its bad spots but the majority of people say these things either havent been downtown in years (used to be WAYYY worse) or havent been downtown at all.
Would you move to Portland
Yep I have to go to school by that shit
👍👍👍👍
You were in the wrong area. Portland is just as bad as Seattle !
So sad to see. I was born and raised in the 503. It used to be such an amazing place. Now it’s kind of sickening. The other side of the river is way worse for tents and homeless. You should have crossed over and gone to burnside. The transit system is amazing.
Edit: I spoke too soon. 😝 The stroller thing is just a normal Portland thing. You should have gone to burnside though. ✌️
Hey hey 👋
Brandon please collab with the TH-cam channel called sickos
I’ll look them up!
I've been to third world countries with less homeless than the US. Disgraceful!
Dude... from all we are told of the "good old U.S of A"... being threatened with a fake two finger gun is nothing.
Just luck Zombie Lady didn't shoot you for real and drag your carcass back to Tent City to roast you up for lunch. 😉
🤣🤣🤣
Also bet 'cool dude' was eyeing your ride thinking... "I could take this guy, one hit with my board and he'd go down like a sack of potatoes " 🤔
