Good video man, makes me really miss the old MX vids. This felt like an old school moto vid part.

How is this any different than the wheelie boys?
Good job Fox, way to promote a bunch of illegal riding....
I’ll say it....
All your posts suck.
That and there weren't hundreds of dudes blocking traffic. I did have the same thought, though. I've seen a few vids of Josh Hill riding the Alta at skateparks and a few street scenes, but this whole vid (minus a few dirt hits) was a confused skateboard video - bros giving high fives after hitting a stair gap or handrail, getting kicked out by security, etc.
I mean they show him parking his van on a damn street and gearing up like it’s a riding area.
Sorry, but if that’s “cool” to you then you can’t be helped cause I learned long ago stupid is not a trait that can be fixed.
Change my mind....
I just don't see how this is "cool" to anyone above the age 16 or so, how is it good to promote riding on streets and a bunch of other illegal places?
Pit Row
I'm easy going though. In this day and age what he is doing on the streets isn't so bad compared to what I've seen in the news lately.
I guess when I see stuff like this the old man in me just thinks "how is this good for dirt bikes? Is this really the image we want out there? Is this really want we want kids aspiring to do?"
At the end of the day I fully realize a video or 2 like this isn't going to kill dirt bikes, I just honestly and truly don't see how a company like Fox can back it.
To each their own.
I thought his but didn’t have the balls to post it.
I love the comeback story
The skill he has is awesome
It’s shot nicely
Music is rad
But at the end of the day, it’s illegal, destruction of property, trespassing .... you could go on and on. So it really is no difference then the wheelie boys. Unless, you just automatically assume the wheelie boys are all in stolen bikes.
I hope he can continue to ride and this propels him to be able to do bigger projects, pull permits, have secure lock ups and last but not least, get some good health insurance.
The way I look at it, all he's doing is changing out a skateboard, or bmx bike, for his dirtbike. In the video he doesn't ride anywhere in traffic, just on some stair sets and what appears to be the spillway for the LA river? and obviously the offroad stuff we don't bat an eye at ever. He's not endangering anyone but himself, unlike the wheelie boyz you all compare him too who are weaving in and out of traffic in broad daylight.
I guess the point is that I don't understand the negativity on a video that is innovative and unique to our sport. Dirtbikes doesn't grow because people continue to be "gatekeepers", similar to what skateboarding was experiencing in the late 90's and early 2000's.
If this video was in the hills only, would it change your mind? because regardless that is still illegal. IMO, if you aren't down with it, don't try to replicate it. Action sports are always evolving, and who's to say this direction is either right or wrong? All it does is create more exposure for dirt bikes, and isn't the old saying "All publicity is good publicity"?
Also cut the crap with "destruction of property", a tire mark on a concrete ledge isn't destroying it
Made me think of the Birdhouse "The End" video, specifically Heath Kirchart, and Jeremy Klein's part. Probably why I liked it so much.
I also see the skate video aspect as well.
While it sounds corny and not very "core," I don't believe it'd be a bad idea to have disclaimers saying that it was permitted (got permits), no outside people were hurt, no private property damaged without compensation and "Kids don't try this at home"
Different time now than those early skate videos.
Find a way to be core, but also responsible and not encourage illegal or dangerous acts.
