what’s going on people we are in Downtown LA yet again uh I’ve been coming out here every day for the last 3 days in a row yeah I’m starting to think I just move out of downtown LA right just kidding we all know how that goes I uh tried that before it did not end up that well so we will not be moving to Downtown LA we are out here with uh something of an agenda not really though we got a potential to meet up with some Riders and there’s also like an Eide going on by this I don’t know if it’s a company or what but it’s called flux movement they’re doing like a a Halloween ride tonight I’ve heard a few people talking about we may go check that out that is on the agenda so hopefully we make it but we’re really just cruising around we’re about to try and track down Jason Dan the Man may show up I don’t know I’m just out here because uh you know got nothing better to do it is Halloween weekend it is a Saturday before Halloween which falls on the Tuesday so uh we may see some costumes out here I don’t know I guess we’ll find out first we got to get through LA Live which there’s something going on here there’s always something going on here but something big going on tonight I think it’s a concert well we got something Comon we’re both not supposed to be driving here let’s go this way I think we can creep through here it looks pretty crowded let’s trying and squeeze our way through and be uh as lowkey as possible as you can be on this bike all right oh we made it always something going on here this is the uh most welded part of downtown LA with these huge obnoxiously bright Billboards and we got a full parking lot here at Staple Center see if we got any homies here yesterday I came here and there is oh we saw Thrasher for a second but other than that we didn’t see anybody dang it’s bright dude that is just oh my God can you guys tell look at the camera how bright that is it’s crazy we got a dirt biker yep he’s ready for 12:00 action right now he’s just having a ball man hey for not much going on on other side of the city didn’t see anybody that we knew uh I guess we’ll just wait for the text message that we’re still about an hour away from that ride starting so that ain’t going to happen for a while how you doing hello he your a scooter you want to race okay let’s go the lights uh yeah not much for a race we got to take the uh let’s go ahead and take the outside I like how she just said yes to every single thing that I said every literally everything she just said c I’m pretty sure she not she did not want to race but we’re actually going to zip back around we did a a little uh detour we got a gas station which uh oh nothing going on here it’s a gas station where all the dirt bike riders go all right let’s go back into the city I don’t know we can’t escape for a second it’s going to be a long night folks so buckle up we got a a long journey ahead of us we’re just getting started check out this structure right here this is one of a few structures built on underpass in Downtown LA as you can see they took matters in their own hands here no one’s kicking them out so they said you know why not reinforce we got to deal with the elements rain cold so they insulated and uh they built some homes you see these kind of in a a few different areas out here in in La they got a little collection of stuff I’m not going to get too close because if you know one thing about uh the homeless folks in La they’re always watching they’re always watching their belongings someone had their eye on me right there I’m sure of it the last time I rode this was one week ago on Sunday when we did that long ride and I let my battery go all the way to zero which I didn’t know you’re not supposed to do and when I plugged it in it didn’t charge I was like oh man I’m screwed I thought I luckily I have my whole other sir on so I was just going to switch batteries but I pressed the battery check button and held it for a bit and I don’t know what that did but it turned the sir on or it turned the charger on like it made it start charging God that is blindingly bright it’s crazy how bright that billboard is it should not be allowed but it is all right well all right we’re going to turn the corner up here and make a left and where we’re going to go from there I don’t even really know this is where we’re going to start though yep okay let’s get up all right we’re going to cruise along for a bit sights and sounds are downtown we uh are in the middle of a bunch of traffic with nowhere really to go ultimately I guess I’ll try and find that ride out if no one hits me back but for now we’re just uh just out here Tor City got to watch out for the tesas they are very prone to just taking rights from the left- hand lane taking lefts from the right hand lane you can’t trust the Teslas or the Priuses in downtown that’s my opinion I like I like Teslas for the record I just don’t really like the drivers out here for them or of them the way I’d put [Music] it oh oh oh Road rdge oh yeah oh and now they’re stucking with each other at the red light okay good old downtown this is probably the the last night you’d want to be out driving on the roads in La uh would be Halloween because there’s cops everywhere and everybody is uh you know partying need I explain further I’m trying not to drive out of here too I’m going to do this ride and I’m getting right the heck out of downtown I know that much dude everybody is honking it’s it’s tripping me out what is going on out here yo dude all right well we killed a little bit of time over here at Staples dude the amount of honks is just out of this world there’s so many people honing tonight I don’t understand it like why what is the hold up look at this I mean every 5 seconds I’m hearing a honk that was almost a car accident that we saw right there though made a super illegal U-turn and uh yeah anyways we’re going to avoid this tree which is Big we’re going to go straight uh I’m late I just looked at the time uh it’s 7:23 the ride starts in 7 Minutes hopefully they don’t leave right on time got a nice Lambo truck right there we’re going to try and get there as fast as we can it’s literally on the other side of town I’m pretty sure it’s going to start on the 6 Street Bridge so it’ll be coming towards us from there I don’t know where it’s actually going to go we will find out it starts with us crossing the street going this way taco truck cracking that smells so good oh man okay we’re going to take one of these one ways right here we’re going to bang this left go down Olive little chilly tonight I got my shirt and my got my hoodie on but it’s it is cold all right we got to keep it moving we’re just going to keep zigzagging in a line towards the bridge basically once we get to six Street we can go straight down but I don’t know cutting through Skid Row this late doesn’t seem like the best idea we may kind of be forced into that though I don’t know see what happens right here bombing down Broadway after dark this actually kind of sick dang this street is packed right here look at all these people lined up what’s everybody lined up for some piano Nick Cave live in North America sold out look at this line pretty intense line left there at the front nice all right off we go we still got a bunch of ground to cover this is Downtown LA at night please don’t open your door thank you please don’t open your door thank you here we have the Globe Theater there’s that if you uh ever wondered where that is covering ground we’re going to go ahead and bang a right right here on 7th this around bro hell yeah all right this road is closed this gets a little tricky right here I think we’re going to cut the wrong way is uh insane as that sounds there is a close off bike that we can kind of use look at that it’s like a police uh just scare people away thing I guess I don’t know if that actually does anything all right this is 6th Street we can take this all the way down I think the six yeah this is six this is going to take us through the hardest get row if we just send it I don’t know Halloween costumes out here here’s my plan is we go to the ride and we ride along with the ride for a bit and then we kind of cut off and then go through downtown you know cruise around for a little bit longer and then go home it is Halloween weekend so you know it is a fun night to be out and about but it is also cold all right screw it we are going straight through the hardest kid road right now I don’t know why not this takes us straight to the bridge even though it’s uh easily the worst way you could take after dark D just stand in the middle of the street well it’s been uh many many years since I’ve caner skid row at this time so we’re just going to pin it taking the sights and sounds folks there’s any time to run a red light it is uh is here here’s a mission after dark smells like fire okay the key here is to just kind of keep moving around uh just a little bit just kind of keep Zig zigzagging around St up we’re going to keep going there’s a bike L here actually I uh don’t really use it myself the bike lane here is pretty much never used so lots of stuff gets picked up in the bike lane like needles glass various trash so skid Road tonight pretty tame actually it’s kind of a chilly night I’m telling you guys I’m feeling the cold by ripping on my siron so I know it’s cold to be out here which just sucks no other way to put that but it also means there are very few people out on the street almost trying to be inside of a tent anyways we’re basically through skid rad already so let’s keep on going we are scaming we definitely got here fast enough this is the most direct route we could have taken it’s just most of the routes uh they they try to take you away from Skid Row you know because uh why wouldn’t they no one really wants to go through skid row at night so it’s funny even in Google Maps will route you and not go through Skid Row all right we’re pinning it the bridge is right in front of us it’s lit up it looks cool almost there we are jamming on suron tonight my eyes are like crying I don’t have goggles that are clear for night time or like clear Shades Oh look The Bridge is l up tonight it’s sick and we got a full moon pretty fire oh uh-oh this getting pulled over is it some e- Riders oh they’re taking pictures they’re taking pictures with the kid in a costume that’s awesome they have these red and blue lights those are on they make purple obviously but they’re always on so it makes me think that it’s supposed to design it’s designed to make people think that there’s cops around the corner I don’t know if that’s what they’re really there for but it seems like it would be right all right I got a consult the map we just flew over here if I’m not mistaken the flux movement is over here somewhere by the way give them a follow on Instagram they’re the ones putting this event on I think they do it every year we got to check the map I don’t know where I’m going exactly oh we went straight past it it was on the other side of the bridge oh my God we got to go back got to go back across the bridge we went across for no reason I’m trying to rip it over there holy moly it’s cold it’s like cold like legitimately cold hope we go back across the bridge this time with a view of the city at night which is very nice um my hands are absolutely freezing so it’s somewhere I don’t I should probably double check I think it might be on this side of the bridge how you doing very talented thank you okay I’m just confused apparently I can get off and go through here and then scoot around so let’s go ahead and see if we can do that I guess we have to take the spiral which means we also have to ride past the polya hopefully they uh don’t mind looks like they’re all just having a good night it’s a uh it’s Halloween weekend oh how you doing uhoh they’re getting cided for their pit bikes that sucks I got you’re good you’re good a they’re getting ticketed for the pit bikes bro hey guys get us a r right am I right it’s silent those cops did not care about this thing one bit owning a pit bike you’re going to spend at least a few thousand on it in its lifetime so you might as well just save that cash save up get a Sur on okay we got to take the spiral and then we’re going to pop out in the street and then we got to figure it out from there so this is mainly a onewheel event I think that’s what their their brand is kind of like for like one Wheels we should expect to see a lot of those okay I think we go this way maybe I am lost we’re out here in this like creepy Michael Myers feeling Warehouse area late night taging I don’t know if this camera is picking anything up got a trike okay it looks like we found a the spot for sure we’re going to kind of like tuck off in the side and uh be lowkey for a second pretty [Music] sick pulling up the rear I rode all the way from my house all right we got a little bit of catching up to do we let uh everybody kind of move up is that the polia oh no he just has unmarked squad car that’s pretty sick all right off we go I was right we are going back into the city we got some catching up to do the magicas walm everybody’s bombing bro homie is bumping in space that thing is loud we got the Ghostbusters on sirons love that all right I would love to get up to the front of this and get a picture uh will it be possible I don’t know also I got to say this is awesome shout out to flux movement for putting this on make sure you guys go give him a follow on Instagram this is so cool seen lots of electric rides but first one I actually have attended we could actually hit a shortcut we could wrap around to kind of get out of the the crowd and cut them off at the next three I might do that all right perfect we had to hit a quick wrap around so we can get through all that the problem is I can’t find any of my friends cuz it’s like so packed and everyone’s kind of on the same thing for once all right this perfect we’re going to be able to catch them right at the front [Music] dude that thing’s crazy he’s look he just has a panda head that’s his that’s his whole costume I love it he’s out here on one of those those crazy cards it’s electric that’s fire okay mob of ebikes headed through Little [Music] Tokyo all right we are reduced to a crawl here okay I kind of want to go we’re kind of stuck here the worst thing that could happen would be to crash into somebody at this ride though that’s why I don’t really go to ride outs you never know who’s doing what who’s knows how to ride and get around we got the that’s pretty sick who he’s off a sick one oh we got a fortnite pinata let’s go all right going try and creep our way up or making a right all right well this is chill we just shared location with Dan man so we’re going to wait for him and then we might dip out into the city I don’t know look at that that’s a hell of a view right there train station and a bunch of electric things they rolling shot on the osmo pocket three [Music] deep insanely [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] deep hey [Music] [Music] oh here’s this guy yeah he wants to run somebody over oh yeah he wants problems I wasn’t recording but this guy is wilding out someone lost on oh wait dude I thought that was two people that’s that’s just one dude wow whoever picked this route they uh they picked a decent route got to say oh he just on a bike wait I think there’s a hub motor in the back yes sir yes oh man that I know you tearing over let’s go let’s go let’s [Music] go let’s go this guy is shredding his one wheel holy crap look at this dude bro holy crap I’ve never seen someone Shredder one wheel like this wait a second oh he’s built different okay wait a second no is super different uh okay nah bro what is that thing he’s riding how was he able to do that we got Dan man in the house look this dude’s on a chair there we go yeah big chilling at least we caught up a Dana man we cannot lose him now he’s already he’s already going to go to the front all right let’s now we got to play keep up with Dan we got marshmallow in the house let’s go the one and only wa for the car to back the car get yeah well we out here baby oh let’s go yes sir TR to stun it these guys on this whatever that Segway scooter thing is they’re so fast [Applause] bro look at this [Applause] bro all right we uh got our little bit of footage now we’re back at the end of the pack trying to catch up again everybody’s bumping music so I don’t even know how much footage I have usable tonight but we will find out Robin we lost d man again we’ll catch up with him at some point oh there’s so much Tire smoke in that tunnel my eyes are like cloudy sick [Music] D look at all this stuff what the heck probably build multiple bikes out all this stuff back here it is cracking out here dud it’s jumping [Music] all these people like damn it y we’re about to be waiting for a [Music] second there goes Dan Man Dan he’s in this mix somewhere there’s so many people now it feels like it’s doubled in size since we started going views of the city look at that can’t beat that there’s Dan yo D yo holy it’s pretty intense huh stimulated right yeah yeah yeah I told you it’ be worth it I told you to come it’ be worth it yeah yeah I’m not really sure but yeah I rode right past him hey how you doing all right wrapping up the tail into this coming back through the city I believe from here they go back to the start we got the Energizer Bunny still going strong so we’re going to start making our way up out of here all right fun time and downtown town we are going to make an exit stage left from here see you later off we go through the city at night one of my favorite things to do something that I rarely get to do we lost and man completely I don’t I have no idea where he went I’m pretty sure he just left that’s all good we had a great time out there that was sick we got to make it home one piece easier said and done in La that was a lot of fun on that ride out it’s really hard to get around at a ride out like that when everyone’s on an eat ride because you know it’s like if something goes wrong it’s really bad so you can’t really there’s like zero margin for error on a bike ride out you can kind of like you know you can while out a little bit everyone was very chill because like if you crash I feel like it’s um it’s it’s most likely going to be a really bad injury whereas like on a bike ride out someone crashes you probably can just step off most of the time uh look at this what is thato dude Fast and Furious status right there um so it was still a good time definitely bigger than I expected it was a crazy turnout it was like well over 100 people a lot of fun now we got to go through the hood to get home a little sketchy right here we got to stay eyes peeled all right folks absolute Banger evening thanks to flx moving follow him on Instagram that was fun I’m going home catch you guys in the next video thanks for watching peace out

It's like a moving rave. Much nicer than a motorcycle rideout where all you hear is – "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" for 10 minutes straight.
what e bike are you using it looks sick
That dude with the one wheel is a step away from death but ill give him props though
I wish we could do this sort of thing in the uk ,our police and government suck lol 😂,was brilliant to see all the E-rides etc ,love your content John hicks 👌👌
What bike is that its so quick
how fast is your e bike ? is it in mph or kph ??
I wanted to ask anyone who attended how fast was the average speed of the ride out? I swore I saw 70mph on your speedometer.
"Даже перчатки не надеваю , вообще пох"
Тот самый прокурор мск
When you have a motorcycle but wanna claim its just an ebike. Yea keep doing 30+ on the sidewalk.
You see that thing you all had there? What’s it called again… enjoyment! The uk government doesn’t want us to have that
Thx man u’re trip is very cool , it’s my 1rst one and not the last 😅😅😅
what kind of e-bike you got, bro?
Thanks. This will help get ebikes outlawed.
how do you find rides like this?
At those speeds, my guy put on some gloves
i find that funny that he's pointing out other users infractions when his own riding is composed of 99% of infractions…but hey, i hope he doesn't get into truble…
What’s the range on that sur ron?!
lol, are there no traffic rules? Would absolutely not be allowed here in germany ^^
I don't get it, why do you have to ride on sidewalks and go through red lights…
Cool i would so gooooooo!!!
what bike is this john?
That thing goes 79 mph?!!! 😳
What bike
What type of e bike you riding?
What bike is he riding? Not that my wife will let me buy one.
