    We miss you John Hicks. You’re quite a vibe my homie and it’s great to see you looking well and feeling better and enjoying your solitude in riding and sharing with the rest of us again. Keep up the great work!

    New John Hicks drinking game. Take a shot every time John says:
    "I need air in my tires"
    "i hope I don't get a flat out here"
    "Can i bomb this?"
    "Check out this tag/graffiti"
    "Is that a loose dog?"
    "Ooh let's check out this alley"
    "That food smells bomb"
    See yall at the hospital 🤣
    Keep up the awesome videos Hicks!!

    Hey John have you thought about setting up your tires tubeless? It's even lighter and the sealant should actually stop most punctures from flatting your tire.

    • @clarkscottkent
      @clarkscottkent 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      agree...I'm a bigger dude also and tubeless saves you lots of money on tubes...Stan's and Maxxis tires FTW

    • @mtbmully8756
      @mtbmully8756 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed on this. Those goathead thorns you picked up in the last video are brutal. If you get one you typically get about 10. They 'll break off and embed in the tire and if you miss one they'll pop any new tube you drop in there as well. They are all over alleys and curb strips around the western US and they're hard to spt. This time of year they dry up into those thorns and areas you rode through okay a few weeks ago will give you an immediate flat now. Slime tubes or tubeless for sure if you are seeing a lot of those issues. They'll add some weight but save you some rides.

    @lordpopesthegangofgods 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m glad your getting your confidence back and I’m also glad you put a nice brake line on your bike ! I use to ride with no brakes all the time ! It allowed me to develop some nasty skills on a bike but some small little feeling in the back of my mind told me to start riding with brakes on my bike. And I did just that.

    hey hicks i hope you see this but you’ve inspired me to go bmx biking in the streets and exploring stuff, i rarely used to bike and likes biking but when i started watching your videos it got me motivated to start biking around my town and explore new places around here. without your videos i wouldn’t of known how much fun bmx biking is

  • @aaronshrpe
    @aaronshrpe 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Hey John, you should try out some Dirt jump or slope specific tyres if you get a chance, for example maxxis DTH or schwalbe table tops. They’re still low profile so you’re still able to go quick and with high psi but they’ll withstand thorns etc a bit better. Also pretty light if you get the folding/ Kevlar ones

  • @btaylor287

    Looking good Hicks! Great video as usual.

  • @22BiIIdogg
    @22BiIIdogg 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    That consistency is creeping back up bro. I could sit thru these vids all day everyday, seriously. Been watching for years and i never get tired of the vids. Being from England it's very interesting to see u cruising around LA, which is completely unknown to me, and talking about it. Talking about homelessness, gangs, poverty… whatever it may be, it’s interesting… as fuck 😂. Even where i live, i now catch myself seeing cool little spots and thinking "man Hicks would kill that shit". So yeah bro just had to leave a comment to let u know i love the content and I'm glad to hear ur enjoying urself doing it! peace and love my brother ❤️

    Hell yea Hicks! not sure what tires those are but I recommend the WTB Horizon tires for your type of set up. Best of both worlds and not too heavy and wont puncture easy.

  • @A55YRlAN
