    Dude that security dude was sketched about you asking him that. That's a bad sign. I'd stay away from there, especially since you don't know the area. Comfort can help you escape a bad situation, don't need to get stuck in a bad spot.

    If you mind your own business and don't disrespect, nothing will happen to you. But you always have to be cautious at all times, FOR REAL. I will always have love and respect for the G's and OG'S keeping it REVOLUTIONARY. I love the streets but not as much as i love studying and learning new things everyday that will help prepare me for the future GOD has planned for me. I stopped kicking it in the streets because they were jealous of me and tried to set me up and after that I was paranoid and didn't know who to trust. That's the reason why I'm strapped and only focused on my dream. Follow your instinct, listen to your heart, and create your own path. Words of wisdom, I've learned how to be more patient, considerate, and positive.
    PEACE ☆ & LOVE ♡

      In my own opinion/belief, there is a GOD. Who else can create a universe and everything in it?
      NO ONE.
      This life is like a dream, but it's a real dream and we're all experiencing it.

      Jerry Atrik there is a God, the whole solar system itself can't just be created from literally absolutely nothing. I believe in the big bang though, but i believe that God did the big bang

    • @presencethegifted1995
      @presencethegifted1995 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree. The universe didn't create itself. There's a good powerful spirit out there in the sky that brought everyone and everything to life for a purpose and there's meaning to all of this. PEACE ☆ & LOVE ♡

    Being from Los Angeles, Grandma from Inglewood, I'll just say that you're definitely hitting the areas that you have to watch yourself at. And West of USC is no joke so be careful out there too. However, I also like that you show that as long as you pretty much stick to yourself, mind your business, during the day, you're not at too much risk. Stay towards the major streets and don't wonder around deep in the neighborhoods and you'll be okay. Contrary to popular belief, most people in those areas are hardworking individuals, but through a lot of systematic oppression through no fault of their own, they are poor and marginalized. Are there gangs and gangsters in those areas? Definitely. Do they make up the majority? Absolutely not. The majority are hardworking poor people. That's it.
    Much respect for you going to these areas and de-stigmatizing them through video. Another suggestion would be hit up the Inglewood Forum and Hollywood Park. But always, stay safe.

You have really inspired me to want to get into bmx, but I can't afford a bike due to having to pay for my sisters schooling (also text books and what not can be expensive af ). So winning the bike would just be really good for me right now. But wether I win it or not, keep making dope ass vids man #hixfam

    @colevanhoy9803 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would want the bike so I could have a fun, fast bike to go on bike rides with my friends and go to the skatepark down the street from me. I have always wanted a BMX bike. The nicest bike I've ever had is a Walmart mountain bike and you know how good those are. But I'm still grateful to have it because that thing got me to school for a few years. I live in Las Vegas Nevada btw. I promise you if I get it I'll get good use out of it. Anyway I love your vids. Keep up the good work.
