a single tear slides down Dan the fireman's cheek
Yep
For sure 😥
😂 Dan is the man he means well for the community
But is not a tear of sorrow, but rather sentiment for all the content freely bequeathed by all the video social media squids.
Honestly there’s where to many types of armor to not wear any. But hey less dumb riders on road the better.
There are single layer kevlar jeans that stretch. The kevlar is woven into the denim, so you don't get the extra heat insulation from having multiple layers of fabric on. I wear mine a lot just because they're comfy.
What brand are they? Send this man them 🤣

I had the same issue with gear on my dirtbike for YEARS, I was afraid I couldn’t have the same senses with my hands and feet. I took my riding boots and gear and wore it for 2 hours each day for a week and now I’m just as good and twice as confident with my riding boots on and mx boots are way stiffer than street boots, however I totally understand where your

From man. Respect…… problem lies when the youth watches
You and looks up to you and in a way taught to follow what you do…. Either way great content keep it up. You gotta find a way to keep your videos monetized tho man
Precisely, just gotta have some sense and TRY to be safe, and you'll get the feel for it rather quickly. I didn't think I'd be able to ride with my gear on because it felt so heavy at first, then after two rides it all broke in and felt amazing. I would never ride without my gear now. For somebody who has wrecked so much like he has, it's pretty stupid to not wear it. It'll eventually catch up to him...
feelin like a salesman for helite, but their airbag vests are really good and could save your life in a crash
ExO armor
@@Shawn_Raz_87 not everyone has good parents or any for that matter. If anything in todays day and age having a solid home growing up is less common than people may think. So than what? The way these kids are learning is from what they see online. No body is directly responsible for another adults actions I agree but it’s still better to set a good example
Yup ask any guy with a dual sport, when you ride in regular shoes often and then go on a serious ride that requires boots, it feels super weird.
But after a few hours its the best. And then when you try to ride in normal shoes again it feels wrong.
I love the child that comes out in him, everyone is too uptight nowadays and everyone needs to just act like this again
I do. I enjoy life on and off my videos
Tell that to the judge lol
@@tommycash4175 What judge, he ain’t stopping for cops
Except the kid is flying through traffic doing 150+... Let's just hope he doesn't kill some actual kid.
Yeah nah. He’s going 170 potential past children. There are points where speeding is suicidal and selfish no matter skill level. He speeds through construction zones too. With gravel potentially present??
A bike past them? You're about 100 bikes ahead of almost anyone out there! Dude, I'm 61 and have been riding something on two wheels since I was six, I know enough to know you have MAD skills that came with massive amounts of practice and some pain. I don't think you're bragging in the slightest, you are amazing and your content is some of the best on yt. I bow to brah!
W 61 yr old😊
Amen I said same thing on newer video and some idiots wanna argue the fact, this guy is VERY talented and as long as Ive been riding I love to have a quarter of his skill
Unpopular opinion: if you don't want to wear gear, that's fine.
You *should*, and I think it's insane not to, especially at high speeds. I'm a most of the gear most of the time kind of guy, but I'm not the boss of your safety. It's fine.
This. Motorcycles are about freedom. I do my thing ,you do yours. I will take care of myself to the level I want too and no one will have a damn thing to say about it. And what you do, is your business. I sympathize with the heat thing too. Wearing road gear in 110 degree heat is like being a living Hot Pocket. You are already inside the microwave.
The k my problem with that is the more squids without gear go down and scramble their brains, the more our insurance rates go up, because the costs to pay claims goes up. It’s the same with seatbelts in cars and the health insurance debate. It would be different if these squids ONLY affected themselves, but they don’t. They make it harder on the rest of us.
@Tha Ginger Ninjer Insurance companies make an insane profit. A kid getting brain damage and collecting a payout is nothing compared to the absolute scam of an insurance system we have in the US.
But even that aside, I don't think that insurance rates are a sufficient reason for taking away autonomy. If someone wants to risk scrambling their brains because they want to live a certain way, the idea that a company might try to charge me more isn't really a valid argument to restrict them.
You could ultimately make the exact same argument about motorcycles in general. They're more dangerous, and when motorcyclists get hurt, they raise people's premiums, so shouldn't we just ban motorcycles?
Sure, there are drawbacks to letting people do certain things, but unless it's causing other people undue risk, I will pretty much always err on the side of letting adults make their own decisions and avoiding laws that are meant to act like our parents.
@@derp195 saying insurance is a scam is asinine. You tell that to anybody that has ever had to bury their significant other, while also having to worry about how they are going to make their mortgage, because they haven’t worked for forty years, and depended on their spouse to be there. You tell that to the kid who gets cancer’s family, who not only have to watch their child slowly die, while also dealing with travel costs for treatment, treatment costs, time off work, etc. I agree that the instance and healthcare system in the United States needs to be completely replaced with the extremely successful healthcare systems found in every other industrialized country on the planet, but what we have is not a scam. It does a lot of good for a lot of people. What I meant by my comment is that squids getting more hurt, because they’re too stupid to wear gear affects us all, and why would we not mitigate the risks to our families in having to pay more, by telling someone else they have to not be idiots, and protect themselves, thus protecting us? Again, it’s the same reason we have seatbelt and helmet laws. It’s the same reason you’re not allowed to go murder anyone you want. Your autonomy ends when it directly affects others, and those that wish to participate in a civilized society can follow the rules, or not have access to the benefits of that society, like having roads and utilities.
@Tha Ginger Ninjer I didn't say insurance is a scam, I was criticizing specifically our model of legally required for-profit insurance. If that's how you're starting your response, then I'm afraid you wasted your time writing the rest of it because I have no interest in having a conversation with someone like that.
I dress different depending on the type of ride I'm doing. I'll take a t shirt and shorts to the gas station. Most of the time it's hoodie and jeans. The only time I'm wearing full protection is if I'm taking a long trip like over 100 miles. That said, I consciously acknowledge the risk and know I can only blame me if I get fucked up.
Well, wearing Kevlar jeans that look normal plus a leather jacket isn't that hard?
@@MrNick99 we'll see if you ride your knees on the asphalt
But that's only going to protect you from road rash not breaking bones none of it will , so what's the point? Helmet and gloves are far more important.
@@bountyrunsit Always helmet + gloves
@@burgy5516 yes sir I live in Colorado which has no helmet law but it's such an uncomfortable feeling not wearing one so I always wear one even if I'm just going a couple blocks to the gas station
He doesn't wear gear because it's hot as balls in Funky town 😆
Vented gear bro. It's all i wear here in South Africa where it's balls hot even in winter.
I stay cooler in my jacket than in a t-shirt because its well ventilated and keeps the sun off of me... If your gear is hot, you bought the wrong gear (or you're riding on the street in full leathers which is just goofy)...
hes rippin the way he wants to, fuck yeah brah
Your joy of riding is what makes your videos so much fun to watch.
Idk why people get so pressed about how other people want to live their life, it makes me happy see you shredding that MT-09 the way you want, keep it up brah!
True. He weighed his own opinions and made a choice. I wear gear but that's me. This idea of I do it and you don't so your wrong and I need to change you, is strait wack.
The only issue I have with it is that your decision to not wear gear could potentially end someone else’s life if you ever get rushed to the ER when you inevitably crash, and then you’re put ahead of someone else there because you need to be immediately rushed to surgery
Even some basic Kevlar jeans would help
I get what your saying. But there’s an issue when what you love to do negativity affects others. Him wearing gear whatever that’s all him. You saying you love seeing him shred the MT-09. Yes me as well but it becomes a problem when that can affect someone else. Like the situation with yammie noob and that Porsche
@@jrdawson1819 - So ride well. Problem solved.
@@CrazyPanda688 Except this is flawed logic, you can easily say that about any decision in life. It's like saying you're selfish taking up a hospital space for an accident that happened while you were in an elevator, but if you were perfectly able you could have just took the stairs and this wouldn't have happened?
I almost needed skin grap from my chain locking in the rear sprocket..I was only going 50mph....Gear is gold!
I disagree 🤷
@@gsd7166 I’ve crashed many times 🤷🏼 havnt been to a doctor in 10 years. My bike spends 90% of its time on one wheel while I wear t shirt and shorts. Y’all just garbage
Never check/replace your chain or what?
This is like watching a kid explain why he doesn't need to wear a helmet when he's riding a bicycle
Precisely. You can be doing everything right and still get taken out, mechanical failure, etc. When the gloves melt off and the shoes disentigrate your skin and bones pay the price. Worth it? Up to you.
@@T0bimaru stop being a baby. Who cares if SOMEONE ELSE doesn’t want to wear gear? How is SOMEONE ELSE not wearing gear going to affect you at all? Shut up
You're definitely under 40 years old. I'm 43 and cannot recall a single time I seen a kid wearing a helmet while riding a bike when I was a kid.
@@Charlesbjtown Bicycle helmets may reduce a person's risk of a head or brain injury by up to 88 percent and after helment laws were put in place in 1999 there was a 20% decrease in bike-related fatalities among people younger than 16. It's almost like we learn over time that certain things we did when we were younger were not safe. Cough Lawn darts Cough. You know that bike helmets dcrease risk, same as gear on motorcycles. Adults can decided what level of risk they are comfortable with as everyday life is nothing but calculated risks. Personally, I lean towards caution when it comes to gear, riding is already a very risky activity and add on top of it I like to ride aggressively so any risk reduction I can get while still riding the way I enjoy seems like a no brainer.
Whatever may be but it's everyone's personal choice.
I LOVE THE LAUGH AND THE RANDOM WHEELIES EVERYWHERE... MAKE MY DAY EVERY TIME
100% right every time I watch you I aspire to be as good as you one day but for now I know I’m not. Too many people try riding above their level and end up getting hurt or killed. Knowing your shit is the safest equipment you can have.
Not wrong, you can have the best gear in the world but if you don’t have any skill, you might as well not ride
Love what u said at 18:20 “gonna be quite a death” full send lmao
Lovely to see you wheelie and giggle.....
Gives me hope for the future!
Brahh I had to watch the video twice when you said he rolled his window down and you went brahhhhhhh I lost it laughing on my back but anyhow great to have you back brahh !
Everyone is free to do what they want with their body. Even a short life is a good life.
One of the best channels on TH-cam
Hate is jet fuel to high performers.
Even tho I can’t do what you do, I enjoy the HELL outta watching you do it. Safe travels!
Watching him wheelie in person is way cooler than on video😂 keep it up bruh
Dah Bruh I live in N.C. and a cool day is 87 degrees. No matter how hot it is I wear my RST Kevlar pants and my Alpinestars racing jacket. I have had road rash on my entire back and I would rather sweat then get it again. Stay safe!
He just crashed again and scooped out a chunk of his arm...you can lead a horse to water lmao
@@user-cb1ln8vc8d Dag
Look, I get it. The tactile feel of a bike without gear (just a helmet, not even gloves) is absolutely amazing. It feels great to ride short distances and hoon it, but if you're riding for longer, gear becomes way more comfortable. There's tactile disadvantages obviously; you can't really feel levers or your grips through gloves, it takes a lot of work to break in boot enough to feel the rear and shift lever, it's a lot of work... But I still ATGATT even for short stints because I want to survive in 1 piece. I used to ride without leggings and boots for years but here in rainy Ireland, if I got caught in rain, I'd be drenched. Means to an end. Plus, if I came off without gear, I'd be wanting to ride the bike even more knowing I cant for a while due to injuries.
I don’t wear a helmet or any gear but I make my passengers wear a helmet-im 50 yrs old wear shorts & Brooks running shoes w/motorcycles goggles-I’ve also been air lifted 3 times by helicopter from major accidents just north of Houston-I’m the real unicorn on a Built Gixxer 750!!!
@@DonkeyGap750K3Gixxer why do you not even wear a helmet? Like it’s the bare minimum
Rewatching this after the brah races yammie on track ,in a suit❤
Loved this rambeltron Brah:) You are the kid that can make me feel like one again, thank you.
I'm so happy to see you back on this bike lmao
glad youre back in full force brah. are you uploading any of the meet up stuff from this month?
"your'e just gonna slid then PAAAA!... SMACK!..." Bro I legit snorted in the middle of work when listening to that xD keep it up man love the vids
I agree but pride comes before a fall, as long as u dont get cocky ur 💯
So happy your back posting
Good to have you back. Ride it like u like it😎
Hey to each their own brotha, i could never hate. Like you said you probably have more skill than most of us, Stay safe man!
I’ve always worn thin gloves, helmet, jeans and vans. I even wear cans on my dirt bike. Feel is everything when your doing wheelies.
The giggle and then “SPLAT!!!!!!” At the end lmaoo
3:51 "wait i was supposed to be talking about something" *breaks sound barrier* (i love this dude)
Rewatching this video as Im treating my first road rash 😅
Brah how is the paint on these MT09's and other models? I barely see people with a tank pad or protection on them. Does the paint not scratch?
Hey Brah, well I certainly understand your philosophy, and I don't usually say this about PPE, but you are pretty right. I am pleased that you wear a helmet, but apart from losing skin without leather, it doesn't really stop you breaking bones - you see that on the track with heaps of run-off. My mate crashed on the street in full leather and full length boots and his leg was shattered, so there's that. Hope it continues to go well for you. Cheers mate.
Honestly though, if you are severely injured....and have severe road rash, it might be just enough that your body can't deal with the cumulative trama.
Hey brah ur the best rider Ik fs but I just don’t want u to die man… keep doin u tho!
I love how it’s either full leathers or no gear at all for you. I stunted my F4i for years with a mesh aramid jacket, alpinestars smx2 air gloves and riding jeans. Hardly affects ergonomics at all lmao
Fr. I just don’t see a reason not to wear gear. Especially if I’m someone like gixxer brah flying through construction zones way past the speed limit and doing wheelies through traffic. Squids always think they’re fine cuz they haven’t had that one fatal accident yet
Everyone just needs to ride their own ride. I ride a 850 lb bagger, and don't do wheelies, but I do enjoy watching a skilled rider pull them off. As for riding gear, I like to wear full leathers, but that's not happening in the middle of Summer.
damn, that "quik trip" looked like a "long trip" LMAO!
It's wild a loves trucker did that. As a trucker I always move over to give bikers and they've always given more respect to me
Really don’t know why you don’t have more subscribers?? Got a much more likable character than these other youtube stars and straight beastin on them wheelies brah
100% because he’s not on a H2, R1M, Ducati, or similar

19:52 When the truck pulls out “HAhaHEhaHeh SPLAT!!” 😂😂
Hell yea, your life your choices, you are responsible for yourself and noone else is!
Always wondered why stunters don't wear gear, this explaination makes sense. I'm a cannon rider and always followed the saying it's better to sweat than bleed but now I see gear won't work for stunters.
I'm cracking up when he yells SPLATTT!!
Brah is a KILLER, he be the real deal. I admire his courage and skillset.
Killer of his young inspired audience.
Hey brahh, what kinda tire pressure do you run ?
Yo for the little wobble problem you are having, I saw a bunch of dudes on a forum saying the same thing about the fz’s apparently it has something to do with the rear shock
Love the vid brahh. But idt anyones asking you to wear a track suit, AlpineStars makes a hoody with armor pouches and theres jeans that normal but with armor pouches. We just want the content to keep comin man.
i think another completely valid reason to not wear gear is just not caring lol
You’ll care when you go down at 100
Everyone has that alpha “I don’t care attitude” until shit hits the fan
I went down on a MTB a few weeks ago on a dirt trail, a pedal bike. Wearing nothing but a helmet. Smashed my hip and couldn’t walk for a week, wrecked my arm where it got cut real bad, sprained my opposite wrist, gashed my right side from my ribs to my hip. And had cuts all down my legs
And that was just coming off a bike going about 20 mph catching some air on a medium sized jump that I misjudged the speed of
Now imagine you go down on tarmac lol

@@gagefowler1425 I bet when you'll have a big crash, that would either render you dead or paralyzed for life, you'll regret it all. Besides the fact that this is like being an antivaxxers who doesn't give their newborn vaccines and says 'they will die when their time comes' because they don't understand the meaning behind the word preventable.
@@CrazyPanda688 I had road rash that took two weeks to heal from a 15-20 mph mtb crash. I need to buy some gear
I spilled gas on myself yesterday and I was really surprised when it didn’t stain
GIXXER BRAHH!!! ITS GREAT TO HAVE U BACK UP AND WELL..#HAKUNAMATATA
I finally got your hoodie, killing the streets in style
Contact with the bike is such a great feeling .. bareback lol
this brah is so underrated
I was trying to find your scheduled events at stunt riding shows in the States. You should put up a link so we can get tickets and come see you.
You need to start calling these kinds of videos “The Brah Breakdown”
how is the mt10 compared to the fx09? for wheelies, etc....Thanks......
I only wear a hoodie most of the time alot of people tell me to get a suit with the riding I do in the canyons but I really dont feel like it
How did you learn to do wheelies Brah?
What is the best way for a guy to learn this kinda stuff to try and get near your level?
I fully understand your point what wearing gear is a compromise
One of those extremely light airbag vests wouldn’t interfere whatsoever. It sits like a completely deflated life vest. I’ve seen some guys with them so they can still wear a T-shirt and not overheat.
Highchair wheelies clicking the horses hoofs??..never seen that and never will 🤣 you're soo right
This past summer I only wore my helmet like a dozen times and I ride to work at least 33% of the time and go out on weekends. I ALWAYS wear gloves, but I rode shirtless for the first time for whatever sense that makes. Sometimes ya gotta go with what u feel.
We just say it cause we wanna keep seeing your videos brahhh
you should maybe try an airbag vest not too heavy and shouldnt restrict too much and they are soooo safe. i get it i agree tho i just wear sweatpants and a hoodie.. helmet and goloves too but yk comfort is very important can make you less likely to crash in the first place. the airbag vests are great just really expensive
Gixzer brah, I feel you man. You are extremely skilled and you have that over most all riders. I celebrate your skill brotha. Keep ridin!
I would love to see you ride the track and make a video man!
Bro, that gear will preserve your skin layers on layers on layers.
Ride safe brah!
The way you're describing your helmet at 11:30 reminds me of my helmet. By any chance do you have a Bell Race star? Lmao
Love what you do man, love the energy 😁 You have some good points. I wear riding shoes, (pretty much Vans with a bit more protection) plenty of feel and comfort, and the stretchy kevlar jeans I've got are so comfy! Gonna switch to dirt gloves, see if that helps learnin the danks 😂 cheers 🤙🤙
What kind of riding shoes do you wear?
yeah dirt gloves are much more "feely"
@@strammerdetlef Gave it a go. About 69% more confidence 👌
in this episode of DBZ, killah gotta spell it out for the haters and grandpas . . mt09 content is🤩🔥
I’m curious how many years have you been riding brah?
Good to have you back
what type of helmet mount and microphone do you use bro
Fucking loved that launch at end. Is that bike flashed/tuned?
At one point gear can only do so much. Gear won't do much when it all goes wrong at 140mph. Plus even with all the gear, Kevlar and all, your hips and pelvis will still get injured, seen it a lot working in Cat Scan at a trauma center. So basically, the crazier you drive the more something could happen. But so help me it is so fun to do 150mph down the hwy on my FZ1 every once in awhile...lol, and no I can't and don't want to do wheelies. It all comes down to personal choices and people need to leave each other alone.
Fz here too. Yeah im like you.
I also ride an mt09. What mode do you ride in for the best wheelies?

what levers, you got on that bike fam??
Dapper defender makes a pretty good hoodie. Looks normal but has protection, is breathable, and has lots of useful features. That being said I wear the exact same gear as you 😂
Those hoodies look pretty cool. Thanks for the suggestion.
I have a full suit and couldn't jump around like you need to in a wheelie while just standing on flat ground 😂
ive worn my jacket maybe twice, hated it both times. Way too hot and stiff here in florida. I figure if i go down im fucked anyways even with gear on.
"what a fun night!"😂💪
gear talk starts at 4:51
Might not see this cuz it’s a older vid but what gloves do you use braahh
Loved the shoutout to DBU 🤣
And here endith the lesson from King brah!! Braw!!
You wheelie that bike like butter brah
getting on a bike in the first place is putting your life in your hands, and that's your decision. same goes for gear.
what bike are you riding
Every mate of mine who died on a bike did so while wearing full gear. You get to a certain speed where a helmet & leathers aren't gonna save your bacon so why bother. If you're riding sensibly or on a track then it makes sense, but going 10/10ths on the road == fo'get about it.
I wanna see how fast of a wheelie you can do on that thing. And how fast u can rip into a wheelie
Let them know brahhh
Keep living life
Is it harder to wheelie a Yamaha r6 than any other 600 bike 🏍🤔
Hey Brah how did the ride go on the 3rd go? You got a vid coming on it?
Ya it’ll be out this week I’m sure
Whatup brah just got home from church watching now
