When did urban dirt bike riding become a thing?


It's cultural appropriation but nobody seems to care. Next they'll be dipping and saying sir and ma'am.

I would say 99.9 % are stolen.

At least. What I wonder is who in the hell has dirt bikes and ATVs in the city limits? I don't see Uptown folk with such toys.

Who are we to judge these men?

They probably identify as 64 Chevy Impala Drivers. How dare we question!

Driver couldn't see them because the idiots were riding off-road vehicles that aren't equipped with headlights.

I'm shocked they don't cause more wrecks. They are always popping wheelies and running red lights when I see them. Some of them can't be older than 14 or so too and driving like jackasses swerving between cars with no blinkers.

When I was a kid growing up in the suburbs we had some undeveloped land around us and some room to ride dirt bikes. The cops had nothing to do and they would harass us relentlessly if we even touched pavement. Who knew that I should have been riding through the middle of the city all along.

The NOPD will probably not chase them down very often for a traffic violation because they are too difficult to catch. They easily zip between cars and go the wrong way down roads.

These jerks obviously know that no one will stop them. I'm not sure what could be done about it other than giving the cops ATV's too.

There would be outrage...imagine the mothers wailing as their kid gets scraped off the road. A lot of these little creeps are young teenagers.

Damn good idea though.

Wonder how long it'll take before TPSO gets in touch with the local Uhaul stores and finds out who had an overnight rental of a truck matching that size/description

I saw one with a 2-3 year old on board with him. No helmet on either. Speeding down the one way portion of Broadway (lots of pot holes)

I wanted to call the cops but they wouldn't have done anything and there was no license plate
