What you all fail to see is FELD and Monster are businesses. They are in it for the almighty dollar, nothing more, nothing less. They dont care about any core moto audience, they don't care about anyone's perception of the "sport". Supercross is a carnival sideshow. The riders are the carnival freaks. The real sport is outdoor motocross. Don't believe me? Supercross is mixed in with Monster trucks and Wheelie boys, need I say more?

I had no idea who this guy was. So I looked him up online. If anyone in this sport threw the N word around like he does, they would never be on the track again. But yet here we are putting some jackass thug on TV during a supercross.

The face of Baltimore’s dirt biking scene, actor and professional dirt bike rider Chino Braxton has turned his childhood hobby into his passion, overcame tragedy, and is now bringing his passion into the mainstream.

Chino started riding pedal bikes throughout Baltimore when he was 2 as a way of bonding with his friends and family. After switching to dirt bikes at the age of 6, Chino began learning new stunts, asking friends to film his attempts, and uploading the footage on YouTube for the world to watch. His videos – which were performed using both pedal and dirt bikes – quickly grew into viral sensations, generating over 11 million views and attracting new fans across the world.

His eye-popping tricks caught the eye of Meek Mill, a biking enthusiast, who invited Chino to ride with his friends in Philadelphia before eventually taking Chino under his wing. With Meek as his mentor, Chino’s popularity exploded, with his biking exploits featured in several of the star’s music videos – including “Ima Boss,” “Litty,” “Glow Up” and “The Difference.”

Through it all, he’s also overcome his share of traumatic experiences. In 2016, Chino was shot in the head during a drive-by shooting in Baltimore. A few months later, both his brother and close friend Lor Scoota were shot and killed within weeks of one another. Those tragedies prompted Chino to use dirt bike riding as a way to build a brand and take care of his family.

After signing a management deal with Roc Nation in 2018, Chino partnered with Under Armour as a UA Sportstyle Pioneer, releasing two limited-edition tactical boots. He also served as the face of Supreme & Fox Racing’s Motocross-Inspired SS18 Collaboration and 2019’s Ethika x Seven Limited Collaboration.

In 2018, it was announced that he would be appearing alongside Meek Mill in the Will Smith / Jada Pinkett Smith-executive produced film, Charm City Kings, set to release on October 8th, 2020 on HBO Max.

As he continues to showcase his unique stunts, Chino is hoping to use his platform as a professional dirt biker to raise awareness for the sport, encourage young children to pursue it as a career, and give back to the community that he came from. In 2018, he auctioned off his own custom dirt bike to raise funds for B360 Baltimore, an organization that utilizes STEM education programming to help fight the cycle of poverty.

Fans can keep up with Chino on his Instagram (@chinobraxton), where he updates his followers regularly on his acting and tricks

Everybody keeps hammering on what they do being illegal. Are you honestly that concerned with people breaking traffic laws? What about Raha’s Real Moto segment? Justin Mulford’s new clip? Shift’s ad in the city streets? Hill at a skatepark? Any of the moto dudes riding in the hills?

Does supporting “bike life” equate to supporting riding on the public streets as a “rideout”?

I worked low key with the AMA a few years back to try to resolve the street riding in the city. We brought elected government officials to a rural off road facility to experience trails etc. We brought motorsport manufactures , safety organizations and other elected officials together to discuss history and share ideas. A lot of good information was exchanged and surprised at the level of creativity an atv urban park could provide. Perhaps getting 20 percent to participate would be considered a success. It went nowhere. We couldn’t get a core group of these riders to actually represent themselves or take the lead in the process.

You could not believe the level of support that was on hand to help see a inter-city Park come to fruition. It reminded me of successful land reclamation projects that brought mult-purpose trails etc. to defunct industrial areas. ....Nothing. It had something for the “stunter”, atv drags, urban atv old factory obstacles, moto etc.

It’s a shame. The opportunity to create a model for other cities to follow and perhaps resolve the problem . I’m convinced the culture is the thrill of riding illegally and creating havoc. I went to the Phillies game last week and a large group paraded down Pattinson Ave wheelies and all.....cops all over and they can’t do anything. If I however turned on red would have been pulled over and given a ticket.

It’s not a racist thing. I see whites, black and Hispanics all participating. It’s bad for all law abiding motorcyclists, atv riders etc. I’m disappointed at the corporate greed that ignores what this is doing but continue to “sponsor “ this activity instead of working to take it off the streets. I wonder if the sponsors are opening themselves to law suits associating with any incidents that may arise from the actions of their clients.

I usually don’t comment when this topic arises on the forum but so far there has been intelligent conversation and points of views, so I’m given my 2 cents. If they’re serious about not endangering the public by taking it off the street, I’d support it.

FACT: Whenever these groups of “Wheelie Boyz” are busted by law enforcement. More than 80% of the bikes confiscated are STOLEN. I’ve got over $12,000 of my hard earned money invested in my bike. And to promote these groups on televised SX events is despicable in my humble opinion. I have mine insured. But this crime drives up insurance costs to all of us. So a retort “you should have gotten it insured” to those who have a bike stolen is besides the point. So this guy’s is not. And paid by Monster. But I’d be curious where/how he got his start. And where the bikes came from in his previous/ current ride groups. Not to mention the safety and unlawfulness of said street riding of these mostly stolen, strictly off-road vehicles.

This thread is sad. A lot of ignorance and statements that absolutely reek racism and “us” vs. “them”

Oh, and by the way..... in the real world. “Our” sport is on the same level of red neck monster trucks. I know a lot of you just can’t and won’t accept it, but it’s true.

I love Moto, it’s been my whole life. I’m not gonna hate on these guys.

Where are your solutions instead of complaints?

The “wheelie boys” or “Bike life” guys I have met are good dudes that live to ride. Sure, not all are perfect. But they all share the same passion we do, that’s two wheels.

Clifton Heyword (bike Life ATL)
Chino

Just to name a few are dudes taking inner city kids a couple hours a trip out of the city and sharing the passion at tracks.
