Closing alcohol stores can be a major health issue. Addicts with a high degree of dependency can die or become severely ill from abrupt withdrawal. But yeah, keeping golf courses open while closing skate parks, basketball courts, was just 100% bullshit.
Man those fears are so much stronger as an adult too. Been getting back into bmx an somme mtb. Was never that good as a kid growing up in rural America with parents that wouldn't help me support it at all but now at 26 I'll be damned if it's too late to figure it out. Something about it, even when failing 180s puts me in a happy place
I’ll be honest with you, it might hurt a little more, seem a little scarier, and it might take longer, but there is no age to which you can’t learn something new
Used to love BMXing a couple years ago in my teen years and always watched you and the old store etc, learned a couple simple tricks but could never get over that mental fear that something could go wrong so that took the fun from it. Good to see you though man you look so much healthier.
Thank you, I'm 55 years old and stuck on hitting a HIP Gap jump on a Arizona trail, I like the why you explained your way to get over your fear. Thanks again!
I already ranted about this on facebook alfredo, basically no politician skates, but alot of them golf. Its messed up man. Kids gotta stay home and lose their talents while rich politicians play outside and have fun..
can do rails at skatepark. But never done a street real stair rail. Haven’t got the hop :( can do the low ones that surround green areas haha longest one I did oppo, it was down hill and curved so tha was my achievement. My way of bigging up to stuff it, eye balling.. is to work out how I’ll fall off or eject out the situation first. and then go for it haha
I’m sure if you go exploring some bigger cities you’ll be able to find a good street rail that will resemble the ones you’re controlable at the skatepark
Work your way up to it, but I can tell you right now, once you send it, you’ll land it, then you’ll look back at this convo and be like “damn, he was right, it was the same thing”
To be honest i think its the responsibility for the riders to clean it. Since councils dont wanna spend money on cleaning staff. My council put anti skate studs on flat beams
Well, that is true that in California we are spoiled rotten with the vast number of parks. But just because it looks amazing doesn’t mean it wasn’t built by people that don’t necessarily specialize in ramp building, which leads to transitions having abnormalities that make for some rough sessions
i’ve been trying hop bars pins for about a week or so i’m sort of getting used to them although i kind of destroyed my ankel today landing wierd i’ll get them soon
Everything can be scary, but it’s only because it’s unknown. Once you work your way up to one you’ll see it’s only slightly harder the tiny flat rail you first tried
I had a 80's Huffy Bmx when I was a kid and I NEVER did tricks, It was more fun to jump a ramp instead or go to the desert and jump little dirt hills and just cruise around the neighborhood!
I can hop pretty high but seems like it’s super hard to hop and find the time whilst in the air to pinch the seat and throw the bars 🤷♂️ I see people do them effortlessly and it makes me sad 😂
Recently started riding and instantly stumbled upon your channel and have been hooked since haha. Definitely taught me some shit i wouldn't think. Judging by seeing you at extremely familiar places i'ma say we are in the same area haha. If you ever want a photog to tag along i'd be more than down!
Do you only wear one shin guard ? In other news I took my whole bike apart and greased everything.. I’d recommend for a video for bc it feels so much better so fucking smooth 🧈 and solid now ! Stay up Alf
Adding pads goes a long way. I’ve ridden for years without pads and I’ve done bashed my knees and elbows many of times that caused me to get off the bike for a few days or weeks at a time and that’s not fun. But pads made those injuries able to deal with easier
If they do that to FDR (mulch/sand) there’s going to be problems. The sand would actually come in handy as it would help mix with the concrete to build new shit but otherwise all the other Philly parks are open but I’ve just been riding my backyard pool and my local trails
The bark chips in the park is BS. pisses me off. We had one up here they filled with Sand. wtf. It's ok to freaking stand in Line at Walmart with hundreds of people. Very upsetting. Really can see who has common sense now with this all going on..... ANYWAYS...Really helpful video THANK YOU SO MUCH. I don't know about anyone else but you riding then talking about it Pumps me up. Now i want to ride hehehehe
Well Tony was training for Khabib and that fight has been cursed for years, nothing to take away from Justin’s amazing dominance, but training for a grappler and facing a premier striker is no easy feat
First off, great video🤘. Nobody at the golf courses are busting their head on ramps or rails. Skateparks are an unnecessary medical risk right now. It sucks, I want to ride the skatepark so bad but it’s not worth it for so many reasons.
Sick video, really creative yet relevant topic too! Stay safe alfredo! Ps idk if you remember but I did a pegs bar and a street rail about a year ago and you followed me on Instagram!
@@AlfredoMancuso thanks man. hope everything is going good for you i do love the videos keep it up no matter what :) looking up to the next vid you post!! can you make a video about building rims please ? liek what hubs to choose for what type of riding and spokes and rims the different combos ?
@@AlfredoMancuso every time i keep my foot on and i pinch my seat the bike wobbles to the side and i slam. (I believe this is because im goofy footed.) I know youre goofy footed as well Alfredo. Any help?
You didn’t say anything about checking your rail to see if there’s any paint or anything sticky I usually run my bike to measure and see how it will slide and seeing if the rail will break or not
Tony Ferguson beats Justin Gaethje Dominick Cruz beats Henry Cejudo Francis Ngannou beats Jairzinho Rozenstruik Calvin Kattar beats Jeremy Stephens Greg Hardy beats Yorgan De Castro Anthony Pettis beats Donald Cerrone You heard it here first
Ferguson got his ass rocked my man!!!! If your a true fan and follow MMA then you probably already knew he would lose. He prepared for a grappling match with Khabib not a striking match with a beast like Justin. Js
Well yea, hindsight is 2020 haha. And yea, I knew he trained for the worlds best grappler, but never did I think Justin would not only surprise himself but the rest of the world with that performance! Truly amazing!
It doesn’t make any sense that one is available and the other isn’t. I don’t know about the affordability of golfing in SoCal but here in Florida anyone can afford to go golfing and people from all economic levels do. There are also skateparks that have stayed open through this entire thing and they encourage people to get out and do either. So Alf it’s my opinion that you keep all of this in mind and go vote this fall. California needs some change.
Couldn’t agree with you more! There are definitely a lot of affordable courses, but as a whole golfing trounces sports like skate or BMX in the cost per session
It’s ridiculous, closing bmx but allowing golf and alchohol/smoke stores.
It genuinely upsets me
Because its money comin in
Adam Hinchliff totally dumb i agree
Closing alcohol stores can be a major health issue. Addicts with a high degree of dependency can die or become severely ill from abrupt withdrawal.

Used to love BMXing a couple years ago in my teen years and always watched you and the old store etc, learned a couple simple tricks but could never get over that mental fear that something could go wrong so that took the fun from it. Good to see you though man you look so much healthier.
Funny you should mention that, we rode the golf course parking lot today.
Lol it was probably YOU I heard in there
THAT POOR SKATE PARK IT BREAKS MY HEART
You should move the mulch to the holes at the golfcourse and see how they like it
😂😂😂 love it!
Thank you, I'm 55 years old and stuck on hitting a HIP Gap jump on a Arizona trail, I like the why you explained your way to get over your fear. Thanks again!
just started kicking tailwhips in my backyard on my kicker today i can get them around just need to keep it under me
This could help th-cam.com/video/ekiHrfjMn24/w-d-xo.html
I keep my weight over my bars, it feels kinda like your gonna go over your bars.
Facts
Started to BMX last year because they built a new park near by. Your videos are a great motivation!
Greetings from Germany!
Love to hear that, Rom! Greets 🇩🇪
I really dig how you talked your way through the handrail and gap to manual, very helpful, more plzzzz
I already ranted about this on facebook alfredo, basically no politician skates, but alot of them golf. Its messed up man. Kids gotta stay home and lose their talents while rich politicians play outside and have fun..
Uncle Alf looking toned
We out here on our fitness gang!
can do rails at skatepark. But never done a street real stair rail. Haven’t got the hop :( can do the low ones that surround green areas haha longest one I did oppo, it was down hill and curved so tha was my achievement.
My way of bigging up to stuff it, eye balling.. is to work out how I’ll fall off or eject out the situation first. and then go for it haha
I’m sure if you go exploring some bigger cities you’ll be able to find a good street rail that will resemble the ones you’re controlable at the skatepark
Alfredo Mancuso I’ll find one one day. Depends on my mental wise if I’ll send it 😭😂
Work your way up to it, but I can tell you right now, once you send it, you’ll land it, then you’ll look back at this convo and be like “damn, he was right, it was the same thing”
They better clean that shit up once this is over, upsets me so much. I don’t know why they went so hard on skateparks over everything else
To be honest i think its the responsibility for the riders to clean it. Since councils dont wanna spend money on cleaning staff.
My council put anti skate studs on flat beams
Our taxes payed then to fill it already, should do the same to clean it as well.
This is a good point!
You're getting fit man.
Really trying! Gave up carbs! (sugar, bread, rice, wheat, and alcohol)
@@AlfredoMancuso do u mainly eat protein and fats?
Yes, but I also eat a lot of greens, certain Nuys, avocados, eggs, cheese, and beef jerky
Hi Alfredo, noticed this since your last videos. You have sensor dust at the top edge, 1/3 frame from the right. :D
I noticed that after editing today. They’re going in for a cleaning today. Thanks Al!
‘skatepark not too good to begin with’ that skatepark looked dope compared with any park near me , you don’t know how lucky you are
Well, that is true that in California we are spoiled rotten with the vast number of parks. But just because it looks amazing doesn’t mean it wasn’t built by people that don’t necessarily specialize in ramp building, which leads to transitions having abnormalities that make for some rough sessions
i’ve been trying hop bars pins for about a week or so i’m sort of getting used to them although i kind of destroyed my ankel today landing wierd i’ll get them soon
All about timing! Make sure you’re throwing them early in your hop so that you can catch them before you land
They did that to a skatepark in Pittsburgh here too, so the city hall got mulch on it too
Mulch is actually not as bad as sand!
Alfredo Mancuso ah damn you’re right it was sand. I just woke up. Lol. I saw it yesterday, but regardless both methods are bs in my opinion
Yea they are! Haha
You uploaded right when I got home! Gonna enjoy this vlog :)
I timed it perfectly then 😎
do you have a how to build a wheel tutorial vid?
3:50 I would of got a big broom and sweep out the areas you want to ride on the park,The park looks slidey
Bringing a shovel and a broom with me to the next one I find
Nothing against shadow but have you considered Footprint insoles?? I'm new to bmx but they feel great when I ride!
I’ve had FPS insoles and they’re comparable to the shadow ones
Awesome video can’t wait till my bike gets here 😁
What shin guard are you using ? Newbie here and want quality protection.
Shadow Conspiracy Invisalign
I use my old soccer shin guards lol, they do the job
Yup! They’re actually better oftentimes because they’re harder plastic and are ventilated
Bmxicano2 I use the shadow ones but my friend stole his sisters old soccer guards
Fire haha
alfredo yelling "MULCH" reminds me of tom segura shouting "BIKES"
Yòooooo.....I'm liking this how to type video within a regular ride
Yo, Alf where was this at? In Burbank? Was this closed for Covid or it’s gone now?
How did you get sponsored by Subrosa? That’s like a dream for me
The satisfaction of cleaning it all up though ..
Yooo I live in the next city over you should go to the la Habra skatepark, it has a fence but it’s not buried In anything
Dude! I was looking for the la Habra park and ended in Brea 😂 good looks, gonna go there soon!
Alfredo Mancuso la habra ganggggg
I’ll post on my IG next time I’m hitting La Habra
Alfredo Mancuso fuck yeah technically it’s called La bonita park
what happen to the skatepark?
Handrails are one of my goals in bmx to try. But dang are they scary
Everything can be scary, but it’s only because it’s unknown. Once you work your way up to one you’ll see it’s only slightly harder the tiny flat rail you first tried
Same here. I wish I never saw those crashes where the rails break
Those are terrible
let’s go tony, great video like always!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What’s your advice on making a bmx Instagram edit bro💯✊🏽
Put your best clips to your favorite track. Short and sweet! As long as it makes you happy, views or people’s opinions shouldn’t matter :)
Actually great run-up advice I’m going to start doing that exact thing now. I always just send it and wonder why I always eat shit
What’s are your thoughts/opinion on the shadow noctis cranks good or bad?
I had a 80's Huffy Bmx when I was a kid and I NEVER did tricks, It was more fun to jump a ramp instead or go to the desert and jump little dirt hills and just cruise around the neighborhood!
I'm new here so keep that in mind but why is the park barrier?
I can hop pretty high but seems like it’s super hard to hop and find the time whilst in the air to pinch the seat and throw the bars 🤷♂️ I see people do them effortlessly and it makes me sad 😂
I'm right there with you man... I can do barspin flyout and airs but hop bar FUCK ME! My friend does them on command with a slim seat slammed!! HOW!
Probably wont reach anyone with this but same Im trying barspin out a Bank and my Body just wont let me
Just hop high and throw the bars early
Alfredo you should cover the how to 540 trick? it’s a little intense but it is a trick you should do a how to on👍🏼✊🏼
Here ya go :) th-cam.com/video/ruU99rdF0HE/w-d-xo.html
Recently started riding and instantly stumbled upon your channel and have been hooked since haha. Definitely taught me some shit i wouldn't think. Judging by seeing you at extremely familiar places i'ma say we are in the same area haha. If you ever want a photog to tag along i'd be more than down!
Damn that’s super awesome! I live in North Hollywood! Hit me up on Instagram :) @alfredomancuso
@@AlfredoMancuso ahh not too far and done
Do you only wear one shin guard ? In other news I took my whole bike apart and greased everything.. I’d recommend for a video for bc it feels so much better so fucking smooth 🧈 and solid now ! Stay up Alf
Hahaha I normally wear both, but I usually only get shinners on my left leg, and since I have a gash there, I’m taking care of it
You the man alf🤘
Appreciate ya Chris!
I thought you were in a communist country at first then I heard Burbank and it made even more sense....
Ayeeee! Alfgang ✊✊✊

Adding pads goes a long way. I’ve ridden for years without pads and I’ve done bashed my knees and elbows many of times that caused me to get off the bike for a few days or weeks at a time and that’s not fun. But pads made those injuries able to deal with easier
My biggest fear is hitting the peg on my back wheel. I could only front ice pick, but cant get over hitting the back to grind properly.
Front Ice is called a toothpick :)
@@AlfredoMancuso thanks, i always got them confused.
That’s what I’m here for :))
Why is that Park covered in mulch? Is that the only way to "close" it? Walk california
My last pair of Jordans was 7th grade 1991. I never thought I'd want another pair but here we are.
If they do that to FDR (mulch/sand) there’s going to be problems. The sand would actually come in handy as it would help mix with the concrete to build new shit but otherwise all the other Philly parks are open but I’ve just been riding my backyard pool and my local trails
Hahaha very true
alf how do you feel about nike dropping bmx even though you love wearing their shoes. I know it was a while ago but i’m curious
Tony ferguson tho bro..
Good vid enjoy your content.
Mannnnn I’m so bummed but he really gave it his all!
The bark chips in the park is BS. pisses me off. We had one up here they filled with Sand. wtf. It's ok to freaking stand in Line at Walmart with hundreds of people. Very upsetting. Really can see who has common sense now with this all going on..... ANYWAYS...Really helpful video THANK YOU SO MUCH. I don't know about anyone else but you riding then talking about it Pumps me up. Now i want to ride hehehehe
I'm a big Tony Ferguson fan but I had a feeling all week he was gonna lose. Props to Justin, still wanna see Tony vs Khabib.
Well Tony was training for Khabib and that fight has been cursed for years, nothing to take away from Justin’s amazing dominance, but training for a grappler and facing a premier striker is no easy feat
Its been happening for years ....

Arovista is the spot man!!
💯💯
Alfredo Mancuso Wow never thought I’d get a reply from the legend!!
I try to get back to all the homies! ✊🏼
Careful doing rails alone. Nice vid!
I know, I was very careful how I went about doing it
More of these vids for us padawans bey
(09:37) it was there to stop skaters, but not bmxers.. 😁
This Park would be cleaned up in about 30 mins with 3-4 people..
was that an ice-pick ?
Very cool.
Thanks Adam!
Keep safe out there😊
Coach Mancuso
Great advice 👍🏼
They skatepark is trashed. Hopefully they clean it soon!!
Same man, it’s a shame!
Hahaa Ferguson got schooled 😂
Dude! Gaethje is on another level. Super impressed
Alfredo Mancuso yeh completely man 🤙🏼
💯
Sick video, really creative yet relevant topic too! Stay safe alfredo! Ps idk if you remember but I did a pegs bar and a street rail about a year ago and you followed me on Instagram!
U should keep a shovel or push broom in the whip so u could clean up a spot to ride
I might by one of those military telescopic shovels
@@AlfredoMancuso yup that would be perfect cuz there small.
Notification gang🙌
My G!!!
My biggest Bmx fear are handrails :/ cant do it
You can! It’s all in you’re head ✊🏼
Thanks ALF!
Alf believes in you!!
And tony got knocked TF OUT!! Lmaoooo
Actually he never got knocked out and that’s way more impressive lol
If you just had a shovel you probably could have ridden that park a little more
Making a little investment
woot a upload on my bday lol
Happy birthday Leighton!
@@AlfredoMancuso thanks man. hope everything is going good for you i do love the videos keep it up no matter what :) looking up to the next vid you post!! can you make a video about building rims please ? liek what hubs to choose for what type of riding and spokes and rims the different combos ?
I’ll save that idea for another tech Thursday
I got really sad watching Ferguson like that
Through a broom in your car. I usually have one.
Doing that today :)
ooooooo shadow insoles?????..... also ya tu sabes lol
Barspins. I CANNOT KEEP MY FEET ON. Ive been trying for 6 years. No luck!! (Im goofy footed)
It’s all mental my dude!
@@AlfredoMancuso every time i keep my foot on and i pinch my seat the bike wobbles to the side and i slam. (I believe this is because im goofy footed.) I know youre goofy footed as well Alfredo. Any help?
I’m actually not goofy footed, I just throw my bars the wrong way. Try picking your seat up a bit
@@AlfredoMancuso ill try that Alfredo. Thank you!
I thought you throw towards your back foot? (Thats what i meant by goofy footed)
You didn’t say anything about checking your rail to see if there’s any paint or anything sticky I usually run my bike to measure and see how it will slide and seeing if the rail will break or not
It is insane how much money was wasted during covid for nothing.
The great wealth transfer
Just get a crew with a few brooms. Many hands make light work.
Golf players are more spaced out... I get it
I get that as well, but that’s also because golf courses have acres upon acres of area to play on, and we have a 4-5,000 square foot area
@@AlfredoMancuso where I'm from its even less usually.
Gotcha
Tony Ferguson beats Justin Gaethje
Dominick Cruz beats Henry Cejudo
Francis Ngannou beats Jairzinho Rozenstruik
Calvin Kattar beats Jeremy Stephens
Greg Hardy beats Yorgan De Castro
Anthony Pettis beats Donald Cerrone
You heard it here first
You’re heading to 2-0 so far
Tough showing for Ferguson ☹️ but Kabib vs Gaethje is nothing to be mad at.
@@AlfredoMancuso oops 0-2. Cruz bad stoppage, Tony had his striking exposed but what a WAR.
Your fly is down brochachi
Ferguson lost my boiii 😭
Kinda wish they closed my local skatepark 2 weeks earlier than they did... then maybe I wouldn’t now have 2 titanium plates in my face...
Wait what!! You good?
Alfredo Mancuso yeah, on the mend. Will be getting a full face helmet that’s for sure
The bigger question would be, “is the General Lee okay”. Fortunately it’s fine, just some scratches on the levers.
Yooo I 180 bar off a ledge finally
My dude!!!
Alfredo Mancuso I know it’s an accomplishment for me bro
For anyone! Stoked for you!
Ferguson got his ass rocked my man!!!! If your a true fan and follow MMA then you probably already knew he would lose. He prepared for a grappling match with Khabib not a striking match with a beast like Justin. Js
Well yea, hindsight is 2020 haha. And yea, I knew he trained for the worlds best grappler, but never did I think Justin would not only surprise himself but the rest of the world with that performance! Truly amazing!
Alfredo Mancuso Well at least Tony wasn’t missing teeth like Lion Heart this past Wednesday. Never thought Anthony would Get wrecked so violently!
Marvin loverly did the rail in 99
mulch life lol
MULCH MANIAC
Can't film,good day friends,see you next video,thumbs up
