BUT, I will never forget about this. This not some joke to me and doesnt just dissipate because those involved want to ignore it.
I have already told a few of my racing buddies and they were pissed and 100% on board for not supporting it and passing it along. They will not likely forget either. One today made it a point to say he would not be buying from anyone supporting criminals who steal OUR stuff. I will continue to tell the story as long as this maliciousness continues.
You better bet there will be more than a few social media comments on this. Maybe it takes off if several people pass it on. Maybe we need to throw some # tags and some twits and see what comes of it.
So... Do we know who are the real sponsors and what level they are involved? Direct sponsorship plus hangin with these thugs is a little different to me than indirectly doing some work through someone for someone who is a thug.
I think at this point it was determined that Ethika and Monster are directly associating and supporting? Is Pro Circuit, GoPro, Deft and Alpinestars really sponsoring these idiots?
I dunno if Deft is a sponsor, but if they are, I don't want to be part of the Deft Family. I have a whole bunch of their gloves, love them but I'll never buy another pair if so. I'm clearly not part of their target demographic if they are supporting this nonsense.
Monster Energy Brings On New Extreme Athletes
For reasons unknown, there are some sports in the world that are just too crazy to understand. Snowboarders jump out of helicopters into avalanche-ready mountains and free divers back flip of 75’ ledges into shallow water. It’s these kind of guys that attract the attention of Monster Energy.
Since 2002, Monster Energy has had its flagship green and black cans in convenience stores all over the world. For the last decade, Monster has jumped into nearly every sport that is considered “alternative” as well as a dozen different automotive sports. The energy drink company has held all NASCAR, Grand Prix, Monster Truck Jams and various motorcycle races and events, and now they’re branching out to even more racing cultures.
Lil Chino: The Newest Addition
Born in Baltimore, Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay, Lil Chino spent his childhood riding BMX bikes around older kids in the neighborhood who had dirt bikes. His role models were all the best dirt bikers in the city who could do wheelies on their motorcycles, so he copied with his bicycle until he could get own his dirt bike. By the time he as 15, Lil Chino had grabbed the attention of millions of YouTube subscribers who appreciated his dirt bike skills.
Baltimore is now a city that has the unlikely reputation of breeding some of the top stunt riders in the world. Every night groups of urban kids hop on their dirt bikes and shut down streets as they practice their wheelies, burnouts and stoppies. They call themselves the 12 o’ Clock Boys, because they can all pull their front tires completely to the sky. The 12 o’ Clock Boys recently have had HBO and NY Times features on their young and reckless styles.
Lil Chino is without a doubt the most successful member of the 12 o’ Clock boys to come out of Baltimore. A few different companies now sponsor Chino including Monster Energy, and he competes in stunting demonstrations around the world.

I quoted it above so its easier to see.
Funny, I dont see a thing in this article about these criminals dealing drugs, prison time, breaking laws, taunting police, endangering civilians or more importantly, STEALING BIKES.
Someone had to try really hard to ignore everything these guys are all about to come up with this article. Seems like they are thin on content when they leave out everything that they do all day long.
They did mention that these "stunt riders" shut down streets to practice as if this is legal and somehow a fun loving get together! LOL
Lil Chino: The Newest Addition
Born in Baltimore, Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay, Lil Chino spent his childhood stealing BMX bikes from older kids in the neighborhood who had dirt bikes. His role models were all the best dirt bike boosters in the city who could do wheelies on their stolen motorcycles, so he copied with his bicycle until he could steel his own dirt bike. By the time he as 15, Lil Chino had grabbed millions of bikes. Other thug YouTube subscribers appreciated his dirt bike boosting skills.
Baltimore is now a city that has the reputation of breeding some of the top criminals in the world. Every night groups of urban kids hop on their stolen dirt bikes and illegally shut down streets as they practice their wheelies, burnouts and stoppies. They call themselves the 12 o’ Clock Boys, because they sleep in till noon every day. The 12 o’ Clock Boys recently have had HBO and NY Times features on their useless and worthless lives.
Lil Chino is without a doubt the most successful dirt bike booster of the 12 o’ Clock boys to hide out in Baltimore. A few different companies now sponsor Chino including Monster Energy, and he complains about cops profiling him and participates in destructive looting demonstrations around the world.

I get that people are unhappy and upset about the bike theft that prompted the start of the thread, and Monster's sponsorship of Little Chino, but to say that that the company has had a horrible impact on the sport is beyond idiotic.
Possibly the NBA's finest players of today have stolen a few basketballs back in their day. Now being a title sponsored pro they no longer have to resort to stealing basketballs.
So, I guess Chino will no longer have to resort to stealing motorcycles, as the title sponsors should be able to fund these.
Doesn't matter how many videos he's in you can't prove he stole anything. That's the glory of the system. Those who steal are protected, those who steal their stuff back are prosecuted.
Not to mention some people that don’t know much about the sport could easily associate typical mx/trail riders and racers with kids running from cops and whatever other awesome things they do, especially now since they share common sponsorships.
Again, if nothing else this thread opened my eyes and probably others to what’s getting support and by whom.
