8/24/2024 4:32pm By definition culture can be regarded as a way of life, social behavior and norms found in human societies. So where I’m from the dirt bike culture is not something that my generation created it’s something that was already prevalent in the neighborhood and has been around since the 80s. In my opinion this is considered a part of hood...

Just here to tell you, we grew up in completely different situations other than extremely poor. I was raised by a single mom of 4 boys. We lived in rural Iowa among the fields of corn and soybeans. We lived in a house that shouldn't have even been lived in. When we were all grown and out on our own, and moved away, the house was tore down by the town 2 years later. Beyond that, I could never have a dirtbike growing up, despite reading, watching, drawing art, of anything of the sport of motocross. I mowed yards all...

8/24/2024 10:06am A lot of it comes down to taught behavior. Also when you live in violent cities you start to rationalize behavior compared to what you see around you. When I was a kid I looked at in like why follow rules if people around the neighborhood is getting killed and no one is going to jail and to be honest...

8/24/2024 10:59am Well I can’t speak for all of Philly but most of the boys in my neighborhood atleast learned how to ride a little bit. It’s kind of like alot of people learned how to play basketball as a kid but most people aren’t that good that’s how I think it was with bikes when I was growing up but a...

8/24/2024 9:43am I stopped 2 years ago when I moved outside of the city limits and had a child and my girl wasn’t too fond haha but if I’m back in my old neighborhood and the family is out I’ll hop on a bike and get a wheelie session in if I’m being honest. Also cost wise I couldn’t really afford a...

8/24/2024 9:24am Bro we all hate the thieves but rule number 1 in philly is to mind your own business. Someone who is reckless enough to steal bikes will probably shoot you over something petty. It sounds crazy but that’s how the environment was when I was growing up. But I hate to hear that your bike was stolen ,F the thieves.

this kind of shit is why i support some type of adoption of electric bikes... imagine someone started opener up some little arenacross type tracks in the inner cities for these kids... would benefit the community and our sport. would be very cool to see.

8/23/2024 4:36pm If I’m being honest none of my friends follow motocross but I think the branding is a little more recognizable with people like chino getting sponsored by monster. I think it would be cool if people like meek mill would sponsor kids from philly and get them on some dirt tracks and try to get someone from the community to...

8/23/2024 4:29pm Great response bro. I’m glad you got meet people from the culture and understand that we’re human beings with a love for bikes! It’s funny that you mention Durham town, my family in Georgia loves that place. I heard that you can rent bikes and a cabin out there.

I applaud you for coming here and posting. I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the boys in a few different films. Bad Boys and Charmed City to name a couple. I too was initially misinformed and had a bad attitude when it came to “wheelie boys”. Mainly because of the media and the negative talk online. However, I have had nothing but great interactions with really respectful guys that absolutely love 2 wheels. They found a passion and a way to do it. I have rode along for a ride out. Yeah, I was scared shitless...

8/23/2024 1:35pm I don’t think the ride outs have undercovers, I don’t think the officials even care that much to be honest. Not all ride out have a sling shot type person but a lot of them do ride along especially on Sundays in the summer. I’m not sure about the Baltimore park, I don’t know much about the city of Baltimore...

8/23/2024 1:13pm When I was younger I use to wear a chest protector but as I rode more I just wore a helmet. Sounds dumb as hell as I’m writing this but that’s the truth.

8/23/2024 12:55pm When I was younger I dropped a 450 on my foot and broke it haha, idk how I dropped that jawn. But other than that no other injuries from riding.

8/23/2024 12:37pm Found out about this site browsing dirt bike topics online and came across a thread about wheelie boys as you guys call us. Would love to have an open discussion with you guys if you have any questions about the bike culture that has developed in northeast cities. From reading the previous threads in this topic I saw a big...
