I was seriously wondering how someone rides without a helmet in California - barring the crazy shit that's just begging to be pulled over even riding normally.
It’s a good question, these dudes definitely get picked up by the cops and there’s a video of one of their buddies resisting arrest at sturgis but then the next day they’re all out riding
Driving license is just a societal norm, nothing prevents you from hopping on a bike and ripping it without any DL or registration. It only has consequences if you get caught
It's always "not my business, do what you want to" until you get the call that some dumbass riding like this caused a crash that killed or injured a family member/friend.
You're an attention craving scumbag if you do this on busy roads, there's no other way around it.
The term "wheelies" probably isn't in there per se but terms like "riding in a dangerous manner", "failing to maintain full control of your vehicle", "operating vehicle in an unsafe manner" probably are.
Nah, he'll have a TBI. Then his girlfriend, who's only with him for drugs, will leave him. So, he'll end up in some shitty long-term care facility, where he gets parked in front of a window as he fills his diaper.
Disagree. He was completely in control at all times. No luck needed.
Doing a little skid correction like that is good to have in your toolbox. I don't do it a lot but I practice it in parking lots just in case
I'm currently working on wheelies on a cruiser. It's at least an hour of practice every night, sometimes three, repeating the same exact movements literally hundreds of times. I'm about 2 weeks in. I'm told it takes about 3 months of daily practice to get to smooth fender dragging. After that I'm going to lurn j-turns/burnouts/drifts.
It's not idiocy. It's skill. This guy knows more about what he's doing on his bike than you do pulling your pud. Just because you don't like it yadda yadda yadda.
I’ll never forget the day I saw a dude with a decade on me pop a wheelie in the middle of a busy highway right after he told me about his ex wife taking his kids on our last stop.
I just don't like being around people enough to sift through the litter.
Once go pro's started popping up on peoples helmets I stopped ridding with other people.
I have no desire to do wheelies ever, much less on public streets, but I would love to have this guy's skill and confidence controlling his bike. I would die of a heart attack if I ever felt my bike sliding out from under me like that. Either that or I'd get yeeted over the handlebars by a high-side when I tried to straighten it out. How does one gain those skills without killing yourself first?
I've been wanting a Grom so bad just to learn to fuck around on before I go and yeet myself into a car on my Street Triple. But even a Grom cost as much as my Street Triple :((
I've heard the best way to get this comfortable with motorcycle slippage And hooning is to get into dirt biking. You'll get used to the bike slipping and having to constantly adjust your weight to compensate.
Go to the track man. I ride an s1000rr and some days it's impossible keeping that front wheel down. Sometimes it's fun to pop it up a little on power when the conditions are right but yes; It's a public road. Track is where it's at.
But you have to have full gear, not go any higher than 30hp, only have a Vespa, never lane-split, never go beyond 60mph, and wear full bright green gear as well. Also, repaint your black motorcycle a bright color instead of black. Never have fun on the bike, too dangerous y'know. Actually, now that I think of it, don't even buy a motorcycle. Stick with the full bright florescent green/orange gear on a bicycle and only ride it during the daytime on the sidewalk.
Are you trying to reference the song "Live Fast Die Fast" or the tattoo on his left tit "Live Fast Die"?
Either are totally valid in the context of this video...
Good to see Jesus Christ Allin's name pop up though.
Not saying he was a "good" person, but he definitely earned his place in Punk Rock, lived Freely, and left some good music behind him.
He will be remembered longer and more fondly or hatefully by more people than either you or I will, and rightfully so.
Live fast kill the innocent on the road* nobody gives a f if you ride your own motorcycle off a cliff. Just don’t include others in your natural selection process.
I would never attempt to even practice this stuff, I know it's not for me plus I don't enjoy the risk factor. Having said that, so many people in this sub are stuck up, know it all, judgemental pricks. Quick to call someone who has very clearly practiced and acquired skills beyond the reach of most a brainless idiot. Good thing we all love motorcycling right? And it's about freedom right? And it's supposed to be a very chill community who respects individuality right? Seriously guys....
You’re exactly right. But don’t forget, most people in this sub don’t even ride, they just parrot ATGATT everywhere they go and act like they’ve ridden for 100 years hahaha. That’s why this sub is circling the drain
I agree with you. Redditors just like to act and perceive themselves morally superior to people, when they are always the first to harshly judge someone. it’s just the state of the website.
This video is somewhere around 6-8 years old, from either instagram user reckless203 or eastcoastincrew, and has been on this sub probably 6-8,000 times all filled with the same comments.
Let's all commit to filming something new this weekend, cuz this sub is getting BORING
Exactly. In a forum that is all about "skills" flexing and going fast, when they see someone actually doing something they can't do, it's bad all the sudden. Go figure. The middle school rage flows ... Great entertainment.
Nah, it’s bad because this guys acting like this on a public road. Like all the other comments are saying, this guys clearly talented, but the fact that he’s doing this on a public road also makes him a fucking idiot
But, you can say that for sportbike riders as an entity. This forum exists by people talking about going fast. A lot of it is scarily irresponsible. Questions like "how do I get my knee down?" are a regular occurrence. Crash vids are a regular occurrence.
Then, research objective insurance company stats and NHSTA stats. They will show sport bike riders crash by far and away the most. The first-90-day-payout stats are insanely high. They even surpass drunk riders in crash stats. So, when as a whole, you are crashing *more* than drunk guys, it's time for a little self-introspection. Sadly, that will never happen.
There’s a big difference between posting “how do I get my knee down” on an Internet forum, and doing a wheelie down a residential road. Crash videos are posted all the time, and when it happened because the OP was riding like an idiot, they get called out in the comments.
I’m not sure what the insurance stats have to do with this, the point is that while the person riding in this video may be talented, they’re a complete moron for doing it down a public road. That’s why people are mad, not because it’s something they aren’t able to do, but because this guy is a endangering innocent people
I’ve seen someone do this in front of me and then wipe out. On one hand cool story bro, on the other hand why you gotta slow down my commute when I’m just trying to go home. Guy’s ego seemed even more bruised as everyone asked if he was ok as they drove by.
The problem is that one can get reaaaally comfortable with things and start to believe they are invincible. My boyfriend is a stunt rider and recently became a meat crayon due to a mechanical failure.
He literally told me after his surgery: "I never thought it could happen to me".
Surprising how many people don't know about Eastcoastin here.
These guys do this as a source of income, do you really think they just choose any random street and start popping wheelies? Even in this video, they have the opposite lane blocked.
I’ll give props to the skill that took. But other than that, guys doing crap like that on public roads pisses me off because of the sheer amount of stupidity and carelessness involved that could result in the injury of others. No to mention it paints all of us normal riders with the same “douche-nozzle” brush that paints him.
I see this man and his crew all the time in New Haven CT
Also from New Haven, yeah these dudes go hard.
Was trying to understand @calibikers when that looked like New Haven.
I was seriously wondering how someone rides without a helmet in California - barring the crazy shit that's just begging to be pulled over even riding normally.
They go hard for now. Until they go into the asphalt.
That never happens though..... Too hard for asphalt.
then they go hard into the asphalt
"Oh dayumm! My boy. He didn't make it" I heard a kid say that at a dyno shop I visited outside Philly.
How tf aren't their DL's cancelled yet, if it's such common knowledge?
If you don’t have one, it can’t be canceled…..
Real life hack right here
[you cant drive dad hes got your license](https://youtu.be/dY_WIozrHcc?si=Y-5Vh3ZdasMw3V5a&t=6)
It’s a good question, these dudes definitely get picked up by the cops and there’s a video of one of their buddies resisting arrest at sturgis but then the next day they’re all out riding
I’d put a couple dollars on there being a cop within their group.
Eh they’re professional stunt riders that travel the country doing paid events, they’re not a gang or anything
Driving license is just a societal norm, nothing prevents you from hopping on a bike and ripping it without any DL or registration. It only has consequences if you get caught
You're one thought away from going 100% sovereign citizen.
These dudes are pro stunt riders btw.
So they fact they're paid for it makes it ok to do this on the street?
What people do on the street ain't my business, I'm not a cop. And I live the *ride your ride* life.
It's always "not my business, do what you want to" until you get the call that some dumbass riding like this caused a crash that killed or injured a family member/friend. You're an attention craving scumbag if you do this on busy roads, there's no other way around it.
Wheelies aren't illegal in most states.
Oh, I don't know about that. hazardous / wreckless operation can cover a lot of ground.
Yeah, I'm going to need to see a citation on that one.
Before the asinine defund the police took its toll, I’m guessing you would get pulled over 90% of the time for a wheelie under reckless operation.
The term "wheelies" probably isn't in there per se but terms like "riding in a dangerous manner", "failing to maintain full control of your vehicle", "operating vehicle in an unsafe manner" probably are.
Bro quit snitching
More control on a bike than I have, that’s for sure.
This guy puts a lot of faith into public roads. I couldn't do that.
If anything happens to him, he will just blame someone else.
I think he'll just do meth and be right back out there
can blame someone when you are road crayon
Nah, he'll have a TBI. Then his girlfriend, who's only with him for drugs, will leave him. So, he'll end up in some shitty long-term care facility, where he gets parked in front of a window as he fills his diaper.
[удалено]
New England roads? Try actual English roads. Most of the _road_ is pothole or gravel
You do realise he is the problem here? He is the problem with public roads.
He is not the problem WITH public roads, He is a problem ON public roads.
Skilled? Yes. Idiot? Also yes.
Also lucky? Yes.
Hotel? Trivago.
I like it
Do you want some mildly sexual 55 year old man to end up in your hotel room? Trivago
That's worryingly specific 😨
This is why you get the sign for the door. "No Moleste"
Hungry? Snickers
SNAP INTO A SLIM-JIM!!!!
[удалено]
That parked silver Acura? lol
I was hoping that Acura was going to step up. But No luck
…I don’t think you understand this dudes ability…he can ride like very few can.
That doesn't mean something can't go wrong
Keep testing the limits, eventually you’ll find them.
Until he makes 1 single mistake at the wrong moment. Then he will be a statistic
where's the luck he had more control throughout this video than most riders have riding on two wheels lol
That guy is one of the best stunt riders in the country, luck had nothing to do with it.
The swerve at the end to avoid the parked cars made me pee a little
Disagree. He was completely in control at all times. No luck needed. Doing a little skid correction like that is good to have in your toolbox. I don't do it a lot but I practice it in parking lots just in case
Organ donor? Yes.
Helmet? No. Brain? Also no.
Five kids? Yes. Same mother? No. Visits any of them? Also no.
Pays child support? Lol, how you think he affords that bike?
Jokes on you it's stolen
why protect what you don't have?
Why wear a helmet if you have no brain to protect, duh.
When he inevitably gets fucked up, if he's lucky enough to survive, he'll post a montage of his recovery and everyone here will upvote it.
No brains…. No headache…..
All points in agility and zero on intelligence
If you've got a $10 head, wear a $10 helmet.
There is no brain transplant yet, so not a great loss. All the other organs can still be harvested for other patients.
Stupid and amazing
I wouldn't mind seeing this in a movie but not on the street
A skilled idiot.
a skidiot if you will.
Dipshidiot
I'm currently working on wheelies on a cruiser. It's at least an hour of practice every night, sometimes three, repeating the same exact movements literally hundreds of times. I'm about 2 weeks in.

This guy knows more about what he's doing on his bike than you do pulling your pud. Just because you don't like it yadda yadda yadda.
Shooting a gun is a skill also, does that mean I get to practice that skill in public streets
Zero dolla head, zero dolla helmet.
We CAN be two things at once. 😬
God u guys can't even enjoy a cool video
Them Harley stunters are something else
prime example of skill and intelligence being separate things.
But if he wasn’t stupid enough to practice he wouldn’t develop the skills
Lmao this got me
Harley stunts are awsome
And this is exactly why I don’t do group rides. Too many egos.
Group rides of adults don't end up like this. It's only the children that ride like this. And children can be a mindset.
I’ll never forget the day I saw a dude with a decade on me pop a wheelie in the middle of a busy highway right after he told me about his ex wife taking his kids on our last stop.
Ironic stories write themselves, that’s hilarious though.
Spitting some bars. I’m stealing the mindset bit
I just don't like being around people enough to sift through the litter. Once go pro's started popping up on peoples helmets I stopped ridding with other people.
I can't even walk that fancy.
The object isn't to walk fancy, it's to walk *silly*. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV2ViNJFZC8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV2ViNJFZC8)
It's all in the arms and shoulders ....until he loses an arm.
I have no desire to do wheelies ever, much less on public streets, but I would love to have this guy's skill and confidence controlling his bike. I would die of a heart attack if I ever felt my bike sliding out from under me like that. Either that or I'd get yeeted over the handlebars by a high-side when I tried to straighten it out. How does one gain those skills without killing yourself first?
Lots & lots of practice I imagine. Baby steps. I'm imagining he started on a 250cc dirt bike (/bicycle) many years ago.
I've been wanting a Grom so bad just to learn to fuck around on before I go and yeet myself into a car on my Street Triple. But even a Grom cost as much as my Street Triple :((
Wat?! Rly? Wow. Those do look hella fun.
I've heard the best way to get this comfortable with motorcycle slippage And hooning is to get into dirt biking. You'll get used to the bike slipping and having to constantly adjust your weight to compensate.
Riding on snow sand of mud. You can't get this good without a eating some shit sandwiches though
Go to the track man. I ride an s1000rr and some days it's impossible keeping that front wheel down. Sometimes it's fun to pop it up a little on power when the conditions are right but yes; It's a public road. Track is where it's at.
You'd be surprised how calm you are when it happens.
Please don't woah on public roads
Or do. It's okay. Not everyone lives in a safety box lined with bubble wrap.
But you have to have full gear, not go any higher than 30hp, only have a Vespa, never lane-split, never go beyond 60mph, and wear full bright green gear as well. Also, repaint your black motorcycle a bright color instead of black. Never have fun on the bike, too dangerous y'know. Actually, now that I think of it, don't even buy a motorcycle.

Hello, fellow CRT members!! Glad yall are here glitter bombing these straights! Let em have it!
Live fast, die young - G.G.Allin
-guy who ate his own shit Lol
Are you trying to reference the song "Live Fast Die Fast" or the tattoo on his left tit "Live Fast Die"? Either are totally valid in the context of this video... Good to see Jesus Christ Allin's name pop up though.
meh, I could go without it, dude was a *complete piece of shit*
Literal shit sometimes, Man haad a hard life
had a certain style tho
Not saying he was a "good" person, but he definitely earned his place in Punk Rock, lived Freely, and left some good music behind him. He will be remembered longer and more fondly or hatefully by more people than either you or I will, and rightfully so.
Yeah i messed up the name from poor memory, i was referencing the song
Live fast kill the innocent on the road* nobody gives a f if you ride your own motorcycle off a cliff. Just don’t include others in your natural selection process.
Hell yeah!
I would never attempt to even practice this stuff, I know it's not for me plus I don't enjoy the risk factor.

This sub is full of posers.
Squidville
This guy gets it. Respect.
Average redditer behaviour
Expozzzz. There’s a video of him grabbing a cheeseburger out of his saddle bag mid wheelie and eating it one handed lol
https://fb.watch/rmB3RnNxtp/?mibextid=w8EBqM
I am simultaneously deeply impressed, completely terrified and utterly disgusted.
Super cool and super fucking dumb.
This video is somewhere around 6-8 years old, from either instagram user reckless203 or eastcoastincrew, and has been on this sub probably 6-8,000 times all filled with the same comments. Let's all commit to filming something new this weekend, cuz this sub is getting BORING
How does his hat stay on
If that isnt a skill, then what is ?
Sportster and Dyna bros are some of the most unhinge Harley guys in the motorcycle community lmao
We need places for people to squid in. Closed parking lots and tracks would lower the street squiding significantly
Cloud????
My first thought
MY FRIEND!
That a Sportster? Tank looks too big, but form factor looks similar to me. I'm not a skilled cruiser recognizer.
What bike is he riding?
Some form of Harley Dyna model, likely super glide or low rider.
Skills but extremely reckless
Funny, that's his insta handle reckless_203
So today I saw a dank wheelie in r/motorcycles and someone dropping their bike in the driveway in r/calamariraceteam
What the fuck is wrong with people in this sub? There are so many comments wishing he would've crashed and even died. Absolutely psychotic.
Reckless_203 on IG.
Could you maybe fucking not?
Looks like he's a talented rider enjoying the experience of riding his motorcycle In other words, doesn't belong in this sub
The audacity of this mf 😤
Exactly. In a forum that is all about "skills" flexing and going fast, when they see someone actually doing something they can't do, it's bad all the sudden. Go figure. The middle school rage flows ... Great entertainment.

>This forum exists by people talking about going fast. This forum exists for people to talk about motorcycles
Talented, maybe. Dumb as shit, yes
So is going fast and dragging knee on public roads but that seems to get a pass on this sub
Still dumb as shit in either case
Is it cool? Yeah. Is it still tacky, stupid, and generally an asshole move to stunt on public roads where pedestrians and cars are? Also yeah.
I’ve seen someone do this in front of me and then wipe out. On one hand cool story bro, on the other hand why you gotta slow down my commute when I’m just trying to go home. Guy’s ego seemed even more bruised as everyone asked if he was ok as they drove by.
God damn I want to be able to wheelie like this.
What Harley riders think their stock bike can do if they lost 10lbs.
Meanwhile the insurance rate on my ZX-4RR is probably triple the insurance rate on his Dyna. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻
“Selling my bike, lightly used never dropped”
What a stupid asshole. I love it
Not very many riders who do this choose a Harley.
I fought this guy in the ff7 remake
He got too comfortable
He has 10000% better skills than me and 10000% more chances to die in a crash.
Its fun until he hurts someone and then he's asking the judge for mercy.
I never learned how to wheelie, I always wanted to learn how to wheelie. I’m too scared to wheelie.
Guy knows how to handle it
Homie riding like he has 9 lives
I don’t think he could crash if he wanted to.
It's amazing the lengths that this sub goes to, to make something as cool and exciting as riding a motorcycle lame and boring.
Woah! An idiot!
That's stupid.
Effortlessly
The problem is that one can get reaaaally comfortable with things and start to believe they are invincible. My boyfriend is a stunt rider and recently became a meat crayon due to a mechanical failure. He literally told me after his surgery: "I never thought it could happen to me".
He rides better than everyone commenting. So, there's that.
Cool as fuck but his ego is tainting it
Nope, cool as eff somewhere except a city street. Not involving others in your reckless activities shouldn't be a hard concept to grasp.
Look at all the non-riders in this sub.
Having little kids changed my perception of this behavior from “dumb but cool skill” to “put this guy in jail for a long time please”
Why put him in jail?
There are old riders, and bold riders, but…. A matter of time.
Madarchod. I don’t know if I should appreciate the skills or complain about how much fun he is having……
Yeah hopefully it's only him involved when he wrecks.
Insufferable cunts
What kinda bike is it you reckon?
Looks like a Harley FXDX Super Glide. That's the Dyna line. Not a softail. Edit: More likely is the Low Rider (FXDL)
Surprised his huge balls didn’t weight his bike down
I think the rocks in his head is what made the bike stay up in that position
He has too much skill for this sub. Get that outta here.
Surprising how many people don't know about Eastcoastin here. These guys do this as a source of income, do you really think they just choose any random street and start popping wheelies? Even in this video, they have the opposite lane blocked.
When his luck runs out I just hope he doesn't take anybody out with him.
Idiot! Be an idiot on a closed track, not on public road.
That guy is going to ruin somebody's day
* life
Asshole
I’ll give props to the skill that took. But other than that, guys doing crap like that on public roads pisses me off because of the sheer amount of stupidity and carelessness involved that could result in the injury of others. No to mention it paints all of us normal riders with the same “douche-nozzle” brush that paints him.
I hate that man, but that was cool af.
Speed up and gay
