    Crazy Street video! Love that kind of stuff!
    Extreme street through the city streets of Los Angeles, me and Bobby Brown and "Crazy George" used to make them runs all the time so then skateparks..
    This one is super cool!
    Next time shoot down rondando Beach boulevard to Manhattan Beach over to Santa Monica!
    Go down to the Goodyear blimp and hit jackrabbit and then reached over to Marina del Rey and see if the whoopty doo sore still there!
    It's probably all fenced off from homeless encampments but there's some badass hip jumps on the way in!
    Really enjoyed the video!

    John, I definitely feel the same way about sidewalk riding as opposed to having to be forced to ride on the bike lanes sharing the dangerous roads with distracted and entitled drivers. I dont understand why most places around the world have designated bike lanes right beside regular car lanes on the same road. Its simply not safe.

    John Hicks --- I grew up and lived most of my early life on the border of LA and Inglewood. Two blocks over from my house is Inglewood. About a mile from City Hall and Inglewood High School.
    I had friends i grew up with that I played sports with and went to school with and ditched school with to get high that lived in Inglewood, Crenshaw, Baldwin Hills, Windsor Hills, Leimert Park, Hyde Park, down in Morningside Park, South LA. My friends and I would ride our bikes or skateboards from where we lived at Florence and Manchester east down Florence or Manchester , Imperial, Century, Slauson all the way to Watts sometimes. Always getting weird looks from the people in those neighborhoods wondering what these 12 , 13, 14 year old white boys were doing in the hood. The cops would stop us asking what the Hell are you doing down here? Hahahahaha
    Now my brother and I live in Westlake District of Downtown LA two blocks West of the 110 and between the 10 and 101 a mike from Echo Park Lake and East of Alvarado and Mac Aurther Park and its lake. We're two of maybe a dozen white people who live in that neighborhood. And four are homeless hahahaha. We're only three blocks from Rampart Division LAPD Station. We are the older white dudes that all the homies know. The OGs that the Rockwood clique knows are down and not to targets. LOL.
    I love this city. Even the bad parts.
