We didn't buy 20-33k 1200cc superbikes to go the speed limit. If u say u don't break any laws on this bike your a liar..... I covered my plate yesterday with my hand as I went through fasttrak.:D

I would never make such a claim. I will, however, claim that the laws I break, at the places where I break them, are only likely to result in harm to ME, and noone else. No theft. No endangerment. No audience.

Take it as you like.
 
These people (kids and a lot of adults, if you watch more of there videos) are reckless selfish people who don't care about others safety. Sure we all have expensive bikes but a lot of us are not reckless in busy city streets (track, and empty roads). These ........ are risking lives and kicking cop cars. If they happen to get knocked off there bike during a CRIME, I don't care. I'd rather seem them break and arm and get scuffed up than someone else crash and die. Let the guilty get the punishment and not some infant in a car seat in the back of a car that gets t-boned avoiding a bike accident.

We don't have to stick up for them because there black. Society and opportunity has changed greatly before these kids were born. If this was a bunch of white kids everyone would say stick them in jail instead of give them a motorcycle training school. I'm not racist but I don't like handicapping a race through over protection either. EVERYONE deserves the same consequences.

Regardless of judgment, this just looks like a damn entertaining documentary. Thematically interesting and aesthetically captivating.
I think this kind of work is to be viewed as something that simply is happening, regardless of what we think of it, and because it is foreign to many of us, I don't think can be judged harshly based on our individual expiriences. These kind of social documents are valuable because they show the many shades of gray between right and wrong, and how relative things are to circumstance.

This doesn't look like a moral examination to me, just an tastefully made perspective on a social occurrence. I'm looking forward to it.
 
correct. but not the sharpest tools in the shed here moralizing and condemning prior to investigation.

and the doc does look entertaining as hell.

For those who don't want to waste 8 minutes of their life like I just did...his team is teaching youth to break or ignore laws and endanger the general public as a way to come together. They work with under served youth who have been failed by the system. The very best way to help them is to teach them to wheelie their dirt bikes through the streets of Baltimore. Very inspirational:rolleyes:

Go to Druid hill park on Saturday and Sunday. Lived in Owings Mills for 8 yrs and they've been doing this FOREVER. And they don't give a SH** about the police being out there.

As I asked in one of my first posts on this...they're either stolen or they can afford them...which should result in one feeling bad for them?

No, you said "These kids either stole the bikes or their families are wealthy enough to afford expensive toys."

So, how did come to these two conclusions, "stolen or "wealthy" Is that your thought process for people that on Ducks? Do you really have to be wealthy to own a 3k or 4k dirt bike? I guess I need to tell my parents they were wealthy when they bought me a $600 mini bike back in the 70's. This form is just a microcosmic of our society, Assumptions based on outer appearances!!!! :(:mad::confused::rolleyes:

For a young kid to have a $4k dirtbike, I'm going to go with yes. My parents couldn't afford to give me a 4k bike, and generally the "rich" kids at school were the ones with the real dirtbikes in jr high. So at least in the case of ages <15 (prior to having a work permit), I'm going to agree with stolen or at least pretty well off, if not "wealthy" comment.
 
WOW, no money down and $200.00 a month is wealthy. GOD has truly Blessed me. How about hard working families or is that a thing of the past!! I guess if some of you saw my son and daughter driving their cars to school you may think they either stole it or I was wealthy. I use to tell my Soldiers all the time, "It's not how much you make but how prudent you are with it!":D

Ok quote master. Which part of wealthy "enough to afford them" are you not getting?
 
You can find a good used bike for $1500... If you grew up in the ghetto or know someone well enough to ask them about growing up in the hood you would know that a lot of young people will hustle they're ..... off and then go half with a friend for something that they love. In this case a dirt bike.

And as for society in 2013... Last week I'm on a flight to LV for Labor Day weekend, 1st class obviously. So this ....... next to me (which is drunk before the flight takes off might I add) asks me "how did you get in 1st class". WTF:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Ok I give him the benefit of the doubt because I look like I'm 22 but still WTF type of question is that just because I'm black its how did I get here. "O.N.I.F.C"

So as I'm returning to California I enter the airport I read the sign, general boarding and ticketless travelers to the left 1st class to the right... What do I do, I walk to the right. This ....... asks me do I have my ticket printed out I say no, he says step to the left... uuuuhhhhhhhhh it says 1st class to the right on the sign... OH!!! Your 1st class..? Duhh muthafucka!!!!! So what cause I'm black I can't ....... read or I'm trying to cut the line.:cool:


Ironic right:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
