5:38 YES WE CAN! Also, the weather in L.A. is looking beautiful. It has got me wishing all this snow here in Toronto melts already so I can get my bike tire fixed and start biking again!
I totally agree with you about wearing a gopro I have one when I ride here where I am and I still get in situations where I was really happy I had the footage to look at and great videos and love your bikes wish I had one of them
Yet another good go pro vlog👍🏼 I really want one of your bikes, I was sad I didn’t get that black the the tan tires since you rode that one a lot but any bike from you would be amazing. Keep up the good job man. 🔥
Watching these videos really made me realize that I wanna change my lifestyle and get out of the house more, but I'm way too broke to join a gym or get a bike. I used to skate but I can't anymore since my board is falling apart and I live in the middle of nowhere, so your bike would certainly help me tons with fulfilling that adventure craving and getting around. It's not the best of reasons, but it's my honest truth. It's not like I NEED your bike, but there is no doubt whatsoever that it would contribute to change my life for the better. I just have way too much to save up money for, so I can't make getting a bike a priority. Keep making these gopro videos, and I hope the giveaway is international!
Sup, Hicks. Brother GQ just got robbed last night, he lost pretty much everything...bike, phone, camera and tripod. I'm just wondering if you with your strong influence could just make a video about it or maybe a colab with GQ on the goal to find the ones who did this to him. Like the coment to reach Hicks and help the brother GQ!!!
Oh man - some of the places you wind up...got me holding my breath for you bro. Stay safe out there! That said, I'm grateful for the visibility you give the bmx community and the love with which you do it. These vids are a joy to watch, starting my day. That is a sweet ass bike tho man - would love to win it if the stars aligned : )
Yo I hate vlogs and youtubers but I damn near love your heavy edits and hillbombs. It helps I grew up in some of the places you film around, but I been out here in OR since. I had a custom with some rusted hardware and broken pedals from high school and thanks to you I been actually finding the time to ride and get it kicking. Seriously though good looking out with the motivation! Donate this broke boi that bike so I can part with my aged custom and give one away myself
You hearted my comment last time and it made me smile :) The gopro noise actually adds to the video for me, I enjoy it! Also, I had a dream I was trying to bar spin...I blame your videos but I'm not mad! Keep up the sweet vids....!
11:15 PF23 is Primera Flats 23rd St Clique- It's the East Side Primera Flats. 12:03 GBZ is Ghetto Boyz- At the end of that wall is G28 which is the 28th Street Locos Unfortunately, I lived in some bad neighborhoods as a kid. Most tagging went by so fast or the camera angle changed so fast, I just couldn't see them
I Love your videos so much that i Cant stop watching them you have cool tricks that you can do am just in Love with your videos i wish i win this bmx ❤❤❤❤
I have my post Notification on I'm subscribed and I watch and like all you videos and I always wanted one of you bmx bikes and I have never had a bmx bike and I always wanted one and I really like your bike and I really want the bike
Yo man I love your videos keep these videos coming bro I haven't been able to ride for 2 months but I'm finally able to ride today and when I can't ride I usaly just watch your videos you inspire me to become a better rider ✌
John u really inspired me to get into bmx I've been watching u for a while and u are so cool to watch and I hope u stay safe and continue to make amazing videos
I love in the uk and genuinely you inspire me to get a bmx and explore and ride like you do, after My birthday looking to get one off your website! I just want to learn on a bmx and do what you do your vids are a madness keep it up!!
Lmao fucking "french Terry"! The average person wouldn't think of that as quick as you did, quick thinking, that's hilarious! Another great video bro, keep it goin #HIXFAM
Cool video hicks! Video evidence is always the best evidence because ppl tend to see the same events differently. It also does away with fraudulent acts and bs stories they may try to pass off a legit.
12:03 says south central LA ...then the ones crossed out “flapperk” etc. is name they call Florencia then k for killer at the end. G 28st prolly just a street gang haha..an it just says “my hood” at the end too haha.
Man you changed my life. Been holding me down. Wife left me left car home and 3 kids. Just rough times and this has been getting me by John. Have you IG too lots of love man. All I do is ride and crash.
Love the vids bro been watching you for a week now and now your one of my favorite youtubers I’m gonna save up for a bike because your videos motivated me to go out and bike keep it up
15:19 that’s how all the alleys are where I live haha. I just walk thru them though at night if need a short cut. Only thing I hate is when dogs bark all crazy cause then people think ur breaking into something. Like there’s big ass dog that bang the fence all crazy all loud.
JOHN HICKS!!!! I would love to have one of those bikes due to the fact I don’t have one and also can’t afford one. Just watching your videos made me want to get into riding and plane out just have fun and explore, so please choose me!
Yo Hicks been a fan since 2016 BMX vs security video let me when a bike already fam been trying to get one from u for so long since 2016 😂lol much love #hicksfam #bikelife stay safe fam
I don't know much about West Coast and East Coast gang taggings as I would MidWest, but at 15:48 the blue X over all the taggings is a sign of disrespect. The X doesn't have to be blue. Just the X it's self over someone else's tags. I would bet money that there was at some point or will be if it hasn't happen a gang war over it. Writing (it's what they call in in the graffiti world) over someone else's tags, bombings (the larger and often more colorful graffiti) and throwups (the larger graffiti, but less colorful) is an instant X on your back.
winning that bike would be awesome, btw I prefer the gopro videos strapped to your chest rather than the hat, it feels more like you're riding lol, keep em comin' hicks! 👍🏼
5:38 YES WE CAN! Also, the weather in L.A. is looking beautiful. It has got me wishing all this snow here in Toronto melts already so I can get my bike tire fixed and start biking again!
13:28 "Hey, hey la niña"

Moving to LA from New York City in April and need a bike. would love to win one to come ride with you DT. Love the vids. keep'm coming.
Never miss a video! You definitely had your scanner a little bit high there!
At 10:14 PF (Primera Flats gang) 23rd st Hicks in the 90's you wouldn't dare go in that dead end !
Do you have a scanner on you or is that on your phone?
Kev M I was thinking the same shit lol
Kev M I heard police chatter a few times during this video too. He might have added it in the background as static noise?
21:20 i said the same thing
thim slick
No,the sound is spot on I liked!!
Cool video hicks! Video evidence is always the best evidence because ppl tend to see the same events differently. It also does away with fraudulent acts and bs stories they may try to pass off a legit.
100% listening to the police scanner. Smart really
I love seeing your videos
Here’s Johnny with another vid in the hood
lol i swear john is looking for trouble riding thru these mexican blocks
12:03 says south central LA ...then the ones crossed out “flapperk” etc. is name they call Florencia then k for killer at the end. G 28st prolly just a street gang haha..an it just says “my hood” at the end too haha.
HispanicCausinPanic firme
What was the sound of some lady talking like on a radio towards the end ?
Glad your channel is growing!!
you should go with findingnick more driving I follow his car stuff and it's dope

MR MOTO MEME that's 100% what we keep hearing. It's actually smart
When I lived in Compton I always would try to put 3 layers of chains on my gate because I lost 2 bikes over there
Man you changed my life. Been holding me down. Wife left me left car home and 3 kids. Just rough times and this has been getting me by John. Have you IG too lots of love man. All I do is ride and crash.

Love the videos John keep it up.....go pro is great pov. One could only wish to be offered such an awesome bike! I'm a humble man:)
Bike life would help me get out the house.. need a bike though.. definitely motivating John.
