dude... that guy on the bike... I know him from working Indiana Department of Corrections... You got Lucky there. he has a problem with white people and tends to swing first and ask questions later. Stay Safe man!
John Hicks lives in LA and rides around on electric vehicles. He goes to all these places and records them outside his reviews. He even livestreams it from time to time. He has one rule, don't stop, don't show too much interest and if someone looks sketchy, pull a u-turn and get the fuck out of there. I recommend his videos if you want to see the real LA.
Dude what was that guy's problem? Does he think that he owns those streets? He'll pull that one of these times with the wrong person and end up getting himself shot
@@icestationzebraassociates2460 I think you're right, definitely heard some cutting under there. These crimes are way too common sadly. But in LA, nothings going to change.
I'm glad you made it through that ordeal Matt....I've actually ran into people like the one that was threatening you. Trust me, they aren't cool and are just looking for an excuse to start trouble.
I get a kick out of your reviews. This one reminds me of going thru the Bronx in the 70's getting chased by thugs after my Italian steel bike...Fortunately I was faster then them....lol
I lived in dtla 20 years ago. I can assure you wouldnt get out of skid row back then! Ran from multiple folks coming to robbing me many times on my amish bike.
surprised you did not get robbed😅that place must be damn sketchy at night I can't wait to see the evolution of these sketchy places/skidrow overall in the coming 2-3 years in your videos because of the olympics cleanup as a canadian living in a chill small town I was almost scared for my life walking in these places during my trip this summer, I've never experience that before hoping I can get a rental car next time haha
Back i n the early eighties went on a roadtrip from Palm Springs to Oklahoma City and back. Before I arrived in Oklahoma City I passed a Junkyard that had dozens of old Cadillacs planted vertically with their trunks in the ground similar to the vertical exotic cars you passed on your bike ride
Where i live, they'd be cutting branches off the trees with the angle grinders they steal catalytic converters with, then try to burn the green wood with green leaves on it, like they think that'll be a camp fire or something. Despite there being old dried wood only 50 feet away. Brain-dead. How i hate it so. It'll take 50-100 years for that tree to grow back....
Great tour duuuude! I love commuter style bikes and that one's awesome....... but grab that Billygoat when you're headed to skid row so you can get the f@*# out of there in a hurry if needed! Want you around for years to come!
Wow! Good going out on a limb for us. 😂 There are probably a bunch of people strolling around making videos around those street people. There are maybe a few people that notice those that don't belong. You did everything right. Good job. Thanks for sharing.
I get that most cities have their bad parts of town, most definitely including mine (Dallas).. but this is another level entirely with the fires on the street and people actively stealing catalytic converters in the middle of the day.
i would love to se you do a bike review on the tt ebike 4350w. i think you do a solid test run. i watch all your ebike videos and bought a walke H9 based on your review. i have ridden it 1500 miles and its the best bike ever
Your content is good: E-Bikes and tours. The USA are with lot of depths supposed one of the richest countries in the world. In for example Los Angeles are the wealthiest people and also the poorest people. Such a shame and extremely sad, that there is no way to find homes, work and so on for the poor people. Like in other rich countries there must be a way.
Nice coverage of the LA situation. Willoughby from La Cienaga to Gower is a good cross town route. Exposition from La Cienaga to Figueroa is a good mid cross town.
Sorry you had to deal with that dude. These are very scary times we are living in right now. Not just here but also all over the world. We have to be very aware of what is happening around us. Im not trying to fear monger anyone.
Matt, you are VERY brave LOL. I would never do what you just did. You're lucky that guy didn't attack you. And I'm sure there are many other psychos just like him in that area.
@@imezryou2002 sure, Matt could have said that and then that dude with 8 of his bros would have jumped Matt, beat him up and taken his e-bike. You don't F around in hoods like that, especially when you're a outsider and all by yourself.
@18andlikeit i grew up in the hood I'm not new to drama and will handle mines if needed, I don't care how many guys was around if it was me I don't back down to NO1.
@@YouMatter-UDoHe literally didn't do anything but ride through a public area on his bike with a camera focused ahead of him. If you think him dying is funny or justified you're not only the arrogant one but you are insane.
Wasn't even talking shit about any of the people there or anything. Just said "we're 10 miles down from Beverly hills and as you can see things have changed a bit". Wasn't focusing his camera in on anybody or anything was basically just minding his business.
God, you ride very annoyingly and dangerously. Any cop sees you in those rough areas will curse having to spend extra time watching the yuppie boy on his little adventure.
DONT GO TO THEIR AGAIN PLEASE UNLESS YOU GO FROM THE COMMAND OF GOD AND TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THEM JOHN 2:16 -21 AND ROMANS 10:9-13 ACTS 4 : 12 PLEASE READ OUR FRIEND ... YOUR LIFE IS WORTH FAR MORE... WE LOVE YOU BUDDY!!
MATT - that trip was useful for me, I am thinking of moving to Long Beach I used to run into there on a container ship. My nephew lives in Oceanside, I am from Florida but sick of it, actually returned to Brasil in 2018 but getting bored here I sent you an email but I guess you never got it What I see of your area - Believe you live near Venice Beach ? Anything horrible I don't know about the area to make a move there a BAD IDEA ? How about tech jobs, aviation, subway trains, electrical ? You look like an IT guy
I was hoping you would talk about the bike. How does it compare to other bikes? I don’t care about the area. I want to hear about the ride. LA looks nasty. California really screwed itself over didn’t they.
You do know that LA has some of the richest and nicest neighborhoods in the country, and California is the 2nd biggest state in the USA. He literally rode down an area known for homelessness and drug users (skid row), and yet you project those few blocks as a rep for the entire state. Wow, just...wow.
For those commenting and asking what that dudes problem was... He's upset because someone on a new and expensive eBike, probably given to him by the sponsor, was riding around showing others misfortunes for views. That's the only reason this dude was riding in that neighborhood. The clickbait title, thumbnail, the little preview of the interaction in the beginning of the video. It's said when "content creators" need to resort to tactics like this for views. The good ones don't do this.
this will be an unpopular post but that dude had a point. I've seen a lot of ebike poverty porn videos. I think homie is sick of it. I like your reviews bro, maybe don't do this anymore
You should have told that one guy to F off. He doesn't own that damn street. Get a concealed carry license or carry a some other kind of weapon. Too many crack heads just roaming around everywhere and that is one reason Trump got reelected.
That dudes not upset you're cruising around.. hes upset youre biking around skid row with a gopro on your head filming people .. youre literally just asking for it.. wasnt this a review or something?
I’m sorry that happened to you, you didn’t deserve that. Poor people are most times angry about their own circumstances. Funny thing is they are most times the only ones who can change it. Be safe.
Why did Jesus jump you? What does "people have families" here mean? Was he jealous that you were on a Ebike and he had a walmart bike? That was strange
I saw him for about a minute in the posted video before the confrontation. He’s the one riding with an orange drawstring-type backpack. He probably saw Tailhappy riding up and down the same street for several minutes with his camera before he confronted him. He’s probably seen other people recording “poverty porn” in that area in the past. He could have been less angry about it though.
Not to get political, just facts, this video shows what one party, the wrong party, rule does to a city, a state, a country. You have the wealthy, that promise the poor everything to get their vote and then deliver nothing, and the poor that are too blind to see what is really happening. Oh and the open border really brought a lot of diversity to LA, notice all the spanish being spoken there in skid row, i wonder where all the blacks have been pushed to.

Dude.. you were asking for that to happen. You got lucky for real I tell you. Cause you are in a fantasy land! Totaly dumbed down from reality!
dude... that guy on the bike... I know him from working Indiana Department of Corrections... You got Lucky there. he has a problem with white people and tends to swing first and ask questions later. Stay Safe man!
Love your vids. Stay safe out there, brother. You never know what one unstable person is capable of.
Sincere thanks for the tour - now I know the last place I would take a bike tour.

LA is very divided. You can go to the most beautiful places in the city to the most disgusting in the length of a couple blocks.
CCW Permit reviews coming up next! 🤣
Lol in CA? Fat chance.
Thanks!
Merry Christmas Mr. Tail Happy.
Thank you 🙏
Your videos are the best for ebikes. You don't need to take risks that would take you away from your family to prove that.
Dude what was that guy's problem? Does he think that he owns those streets? He'll pull that one of these times with the wrong person and end up getting himself shot
Drugs
Not in California, he won't.
I think there was a cat. converter stealing operation going on. Hence the "puffs of smoke" (dust.)
Most annoying when he tells you to gtfo of there but still hits your bike and blocks you from going. These people are pretty stupid.
@@icestationzebraassociates2460 I think you're right, definitely heard some cutting under there. These crimes are way too common sadly. But in LA, nothings going to change.
He was picking on him because he's White. And he doesn't look like poor people. Nobody around there can afford an e bike.
Shit got pretty real. Glad you made it through.
Great review, Matt. Sorry you had to deal with that weirdo in DTLA - such b.s. behavior. Stay safe!
He was jealous he didn't have an ebike like you.
Stay safe out there man. Thanks for the video!
I'm glad you made it through that ordeal Matt....I've actually ran into people like the one that was threatening you. Trust me, they aren't cool and are just looking for an excuse to start trouble.
Paneri store sells its luxury watches. Great video showing us new areas of LA. Keep up the great work.
Wow stay safe Bro . Your videos I really like. You do a good presentation for EBikes. I think watchout for those ECars. 😂
love that you show real estate

crazy, i see video's of people going through LA and those area's. it's like atlanta some parts are nice make a wrong turn and it's not.

Was lookin for Hicks to go flying by at anytime.
@@DriverJ-N 😂
@@donovandylan5898 😂
Haha thought the same thing as well

You NEED an EDC knife or pepper spray if you're biking in LA, I hope you've got protection on you cuz that guy was looking for trouble.

The distance is why i bought the walkee h7 with the big battery never have to peddle full throttle 50 miles easy……
Got the white night trying to flex how virtuous he is. Like bro, you don't own the street.
Millionaires to the left of me, crackheads to the right, and here i am cycling down the middle with you.
😂
Skid Row ? That's brave. I wouldn't go thru there in a car.
Hell yeah Matt!! Awesome ride bro! Take us to Fig Street next time 😃🤙!!
F that guy on the bike, if he cares so much about his families, he should get a job and get them better living arrangements
His family aka illegals took his job
NEVER go through the skid row area unless you're carrying.
Where i live, they'd be cutting branches off the trees with the angle grinders they steal catalytic converters with, then try to burn the green wood with green leaves on it, like they think that'll be a camp fire or something. Despite there being old dried wood only 50 feet away. Brain-dead. How i hate it so. It'll take 50-100 years for that tree to grow back....
