Ha! Agree about that. Good twist on pointless subject.

In general, people get worked up for nothing. Right now someone is dying alone in a hospital, in a street or whatever, meanwhile a couple of thousands kids got abused today. Pick your horror. Whatever this post is about, nothing to be bothered about really.

to any kid off the street....little billy from from arkansas that has no idea what moto is, or for that matter, no idea who the "wheelie boyz" are....companies like monster, arent looking to market themselves to the core mx fan, they already have that market locked up....they are looking to bring in new fans, and what kid from any part of the world doesnt like to see bikes do wheelies for days....that kid does not care, or even know, who or how these bike are bought....its business....like it or not, the rebellious side of this industry makes money.....

I'm not pretending about anything. I had no clue who these guys were when I posted. I was only familiar with videos I've seen on YouTube a few times.

ps...

if any "kids" out there are "aspiring" to be like these guys after watching a youtube video, then the parents are doing a pretty shitty job teaching them right and wrong. just like saying McDonald's commercials made you fat.

the WOW boyz are on youtube. not on national television. don't like it, don't watch it and don't let your kids watch it.

i watch it because the dudes are fucking unreal at doing wheelies. i'm not supporting them, but rather getting some entertainment out of watching them do shit that i could never dream of doing on a dirt bike.

The one on the right has a shit ton more money then you do.

And the one on the left would ride wheelies around your ass. One handed.

Talent is talent. And although they probably couldnt rip on a motocross track. They can wheelie the shit out of a motocross bike.

They are having fun and getting paid to do it. On a motorcycle at that.

Why do you care so much man?

A lot of people can wheelie the shit out of a motocross bike, myself included. But a video of a middle class father of 2 riding a wheelie through suburbia on a bike with a clean title probably isn't going to get many hits on youtube or attract the attention of Monster Energy.

Monster is marketing, to the lowest common denominator.
Post up a video of you "wheeling the shit out of your motocross bike". I'd like to see it.

It kills me how no one on here has any empathy towards the hard working mx families that put their HARD EARNED money into this sport and are the true victims...Everyone is so quick to pull the race card and defend the criminals. Has nothing to do with race, all to do with statistics.

Peelout, bring your bike and truck to Baltimore for the Arenacross and park outside of 1st Mariner and we will see how long it takes for your shit to end up on the Wheelie Boys latest enstallment! Will that change your opinion???

I got mixed feelings on it. I've got no mixed feelings about people getting bikes stolen- it's wrong.

At the same time- this dude Chino is the classic hero outlaw. I've spent a good bit of time in Baltimore. I can't imagine a kid growing up in some of those hoods not worshipping the guy. He's ridiculously good on a bike.

How about J Law being a criminal? A few other guys that are worshipped in this sport spent some time in the slammer.

Evel Knievel got his name from a cop when he was in jail for stealing, the story goes. He ended up a hero. Motorcycles and outlaw culture have always been connected. It's all in your perspective. I'm not saying the WOW culture is good...like I said my feelings are mixed.

Those guys have skills for sure. What i cant do is keep wheeling once the front wheel stops. Then it is really hard to balance. And Chino can ride a wheelie dragging his left hand on the ground with the front wheel stopped. Afugginmazing...

I think the difference between these guys and the others you mentioned is that you probably wouldn't find a youtube vid of Jlaw riding a wheelie on your stolen bike.

The bikes in those vids were most likely bought by guys like me. Kind of hard to get pumped on that, although I do admire and envy their skills.

It's been proven in the past on this board that, yes, at least some of them are, in fact, stolen.

JBlain619 is 100% correct on this. I live here as well and have friends that are Baltimore City cops. Wow, the stories I have of these wheelie clowns. Thefts on AX weekends on both Pro and Amateur days. There was a popular area to ride back in the day call "The Pits" off I-95. It turned into a hotspot for these fools to jack peeps for their bikes either while riding or back at where their trucks were parked. A buddy of mine was selling his bike and he got a shady call from a dude in Bmore City asking if he would deliver it to him in the city. Told him he would pay him an extra 500 bills to do it. My buddy just hung up.

The worst part of this shit they do is the riding around the streets illegally. I asked my cop buddies about what they are doing about it. They said they are not allowed to chase them due to safety issues. They said what usually happens is they get calls about these guys crashing and getting hit by cars with severe injuries or death Sad

Trust me- any bike running down a Baltimore street is 90% hot.

There were some sand pits in Maryland in Laurel for years, down the Interstate from Baltimore. Once some gangsters with automatic weapons showed up to take some bikes and SUVs from the hometown boys that were riding around in the pits. It got ugly with a police chase and shots fired. '

However, what if you had a chance to convert a thief to a performer, as happened with Evel Knievel?

Please tell me none of you guys think that Monster, or Malcom Mc are out there trying to build and garner fans of ANYTHING. They are all trying to make a buck. That is it. Same reason you all were complaining about Izzi and company losing their rides. The folks with the money spread some around in order to make more money. It's how the world works. Which is s smarter, spend a couple million on a promising SX/MX star that might get you a few thousand cases of Monster Energy drink sold, or drop $8,000 on a kid with 2 million YouTube hits and sell a thousand cases? Doesn't mean I have to like it.

That's why it makes me sad he's got a helmet nicer than mine. Wanna know what really burns my butt about him having a nicer helmet than me? THAT HE DOESN'T WEAR IT WHILE RIDING A BIKE!!! You know where this is all going? One of them, or worse, some nice kid in rural East Podunk who saw it on YouTube, will get killed riding wheelies on the street and guess who will end up in the cross hairs? Motocrossers everywhere. Honda will be the first sued since he was riding a brand new CRF450.

We saw a taste of it on here a few months ago where a kid died when the police rammed/bumped the bike after his buddy bailed. And some of you retards were actually piling on the police for trying to uphold the law!!!

Peel.....people in that type of group tend to all do things the same way. All anyone has to do is jump online and look at all the articles written up on multiple bike seizures in those areas......confiscate 20 bikes and every single one of them had been stolen.

And were not supposed to lump them together?

You hang in that type a crowd.....why in the fuck would you buy a bike? Your homies will show you were to get one for free. Save that money to install 14K gold valve stem caps , a fresh and cool 40oz'er....and you're good to go.

So sick and fucking tired of listening to people bitch about " It's their urban culture "..........fuck that shit. Screw any and all those thieving fucks and anyone who hangs with them and thinks they're cool.

Better yet...try working your ass off at a legit job and pay for the shit yourself.
X1000. Dont have to even say where I stand on this...been almost 2 years and financially have almost recovered from it.
If any of you are my friend on FB take a look at Joeys pic in the elevator at Budds Creek...says it all!!

I hate to tell you this, but it's not very likely that most of the bikes that those guys riding are bikes that they actually stole. They may be stolen, but there is NOOOOO way that inner city kids are going to be able to get their hands on that many dirt bikes by stealing them themselves. If anything they are being stolen by someone that knows the owners and is then selling them or the owners are just running a scam to get rid of the bikes. The moto industry isn't full of angles and perfect people like many of you are implying.

Here u go AGAIN! Are you seriously the authority on all things black and inner city??? Everytime someone gets on here, u have to go defend the"injustice being shown towards blacks." Why can't you just sit back and STFU for once! U dont fucking live here, u dont fucking know, so just SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!You are no more a REAL Motocrosser than the thieives that steal these bikes because if you were, you would be just as pissed off when you see your friends or another mx'ers bikes being ridden in these stupid ass videos. YES, I do know FOR A FACT that Chino is wanted, I've seen the fucking video survailence myself!

So, lets just say that all the kids in the video are not the theives that stole the bikes. I'll give you that. I'm not that naive to think ALL of them stole the particular bikes they are riding. BUT...Whats the difference, they are still riding stolen bikes??? That is also against the law! And how the fuck can you justify it??? It amazes me that, until it happens to you in particular, that people shit back and make every excuse in the world for people breaking the fucking law and being a general douchbag in the process!!!
