It’ll be awesome if you would add a lil gps map thingy on the corner somewhere on the screen showing what streets your going through. Love your channel bro! ❤️😉👍🏻
Long Beach here...Just stumbled across your videos... LOVE THEM!! It amazes me how much LA has changed for the better, back iin the 80's and 90's you would have NEVER been able to roll through some of those neighborhoods without being put on check (at the very least)... I think LA has swapped it's out-of-control gang problem for a stinkier yet more peaceful homeless problem.
HNY from Canada. I turned a Norco VPS Atomik into a Sleeper Surron, (well more community named than what I chose for it; Term of endearment), and I get the same enjoyment as you do on your Surron. I plan to acquire a 72V Battery soon to help maximize my DIY kit's full potential which I will be be indulging in the same amount of excitement as you currently experience. There's no thrill like riding gas free for prolong periods of time and seeing so much more of the area than you would in a gas operated vehicle.
I mean, Surrons just really shouldn’t exist given current infrastructure. They’re too small for moto trails, they fuck up mtb trails, and they’re not class 1s so they don’t even belong on most bike infrastructure. In the city, I’d take the scooter.
happy new year john im a long time follower from your early bmx days i never took notice when i was younger but going on the wild adventures with you just illustrates the difference between the states and the uk for me i can zip down any street or alley and not worry about stray dogs nor the potential gangs but you do get the odd person look at you in that way like ooow im gonna have that off you but thus far nothing has happened with that safe riding i look forward to you posting more content like this best of luck and thankyou
Hey John, came over from la oc ! YOU have a GREAT channel. Next time in South Central maybe a ride through a famous intersection Florence and Normandy !! Please and Thank you !!
26:28 Try Pit Vipers, you can totally pull them off. I live in PA and do not have goggles but in our recent blizzard I street rode with no helmet on my 150 SSR and somehow they deflected the snow and hail just as good as goggles with half the effort of having them fit
Thats dope how you stop to film that magnificent Artwork . I only been to L.A once. I think L.A has the best graff scene much love and respect to you and the peeps behind the cans 💯💪🏽
Yo! @johnhicksfilm try adding Flat Out off road tire Sealant I have it on all my Super 73 bikes it’s way better then slime. Haven’t had a flat over a year on all 10 along with a Tire Liner. Now I have it on my E-Ride Pro SS..
To answer your question about glare and sunglasses for your full face... There is a company called Havoc Racing, they make sunglasses that look pretty similar to motocross goggles. That might help keep you from getting laughed at. Polarized lenses would help reduce the glare, which they provide on their glasses. I'd probably suggest looking at the z87 model. Great video as always, thanks John!
I used cling tint on my full helmet face shield. U just cut it to size and stick it in place. Remove it when it gets dark. Or u can also get a dirt bike helmet with a visor.
love the video man you went by my old high school and my dads house in the beginning you just didn't show the footage of his house, my daughter enjoyed watching the video with me and seeing the old neighborhood.
Yeah it's strangely addictive, as soon I click on one of those videos I watch through through the whole thing. And I have a very short attention span on YT otherwise
What's up John, I recently came back to Your channel after a while, I really enjoy Your films. I always wanted visit LA, and here in Poland is hardcore winter now, so I can see Cali sun a bit through the screen ;). But it very sad view, all that homlesness, and dirt, it's a shame on city politics, that can't handle this and help those people. And as I know it's for years... Oh and all these alleys, South Central Cartel kept it REAL lol! Stay safe John, and can't wait forthe next one!
Thanks to u John hicks I’m buying a sur ron light bee later today and can’t wait to tear up Washington state in it I hope to road trip down to Los Angeles and ride sur rons with u buddy
You need a different platform for your uncut versions and just stay on RUclips with your cut versions. People really wanna see the raw footage as if they were the ones riding the bike. Great videos, Fam! Edit: The uncut versions can be behind a paywall on another platform to help build this main channel even more.
The first time I heard u say a tire felt soggy my dude was today and I’ve fallowed u for over 3 years lol I’m just learning as I go with the words homie great video
I ride with a full face helmet and sunglasses! I've never noticed anyone talking trash...lol. But, maybe I'm just clueless..lol. Try using polarized sunglasses, that may help reduce the glare for you. 🤙
I just started thinking about a really old episode of In Living Color when, I think it was Damon Wayans, was playing a homeless guy and he was showing how he used spit to add extensions to his cardboard house.
John I heard you mention LA-OC live, Jeremy said on his RUclips channel that he is taking a break because of personal reasons, sounded like someone was messing with him. Just thought you would like to know if you don’t know already be safe !
Nice bike bro I think she got a point at the price of those e-scooters you might as well get a motorcycle rather yet a used zero or Harley live wire you be set but it’s all about what you want to ride as a hobby
Say Mr Hicks, do they make a quiet bell thing for E-Bikes? Something to tell people, in effect, I am not trying to sneak up on you to jump you, I am just going past? Hope so. Yeah I know, those ding ding bells do not appeal to everyone. A bell which says excuse me please, passing through.
they already made it... its simple to do but the blending of smells to be precisely one thing is hard... but say orange or lemon, is easy and already done... years ago. its still in early testing but LinusTechTips covered one brand who did it
Enter to win my Ultra Bee here: hixfam.com/
9:12 is a 54 Ford Customline and the white car just before is a 76-79 Chevrolet Nova
It’ll be awesome if you would add a lil gps map thingy on the corner somewhere on the screen showing what streets your going through. Love your channel bro! ❤️😉👍🏻

Big John, Happy New Year to you and all your fans!! Thanks for the ride, peace ✌ out my friend

thanks for travelling through new territory man, i love to watch from Australia and its nice to see new scenery.
She's riding a scooter, like she has the right to judge!
She is the type to say "i only date guys that are 6'0" while being 5'5 😆
I mean, Surrons just really shouldn’t exist given current infrastructure. They’re too small for moto trails, they fuck up mtb trails, and they’re not class 1s so they don’t even belong on most bike infrastructure.

@@SamaelMoneyStein I know a 5'4 girl that only wants to date 6'5 dudes. So delusional 😂
Why is a preference delusional? @@SavageSalad69
@dkumagai30 I ride mine everywhere. Streets, sidewalks, trails, track. It's okay to want one bro. You can just say it
I’m a truck driver in Phoenix and I used Von Zipp sunglasses for the glare. Definitely recommend them

If you put black paint lines under your eyes like they do in football or in the military it helps reduce glare, thats actually why they did that.
Hey John, came over from
la oc ! YOU have a GREAT channel. Next time in South Central maybe a ride through
a famous intersection
Florence and Normandy !!
Please and Thank you !!

Hey John... Chevy is the "El Camino" ....and.... Ford is the "Ranchero"
Herman Miller Aeron is the chair you were thinking about. The Steelcase Leap V2 is more comfortable though.
Thats dope how you stop to film that magnificent Artwork . I only been to L.A once. I think L.A has the best graff scene much love and respect to you and the peeps behind the cans 💯💪🏽
Dope video, firme content. Keep up the great work. Gracias for what you do.😍

38:30 FACTS. imagine getting a treadmill while living across the street from a park. life is corny now.

Great video as always, thanks John!
was bout to comment this, beat me to it lol
Polarized is a nightmare, I've tried several. Makes riding dangerous. It's hard to describe the visual distortions until you try them. 😮
Happy new year John . One love from London uk 🇬🇧👊🏼
I love Zelle, and I have never had any issues with it. Great video.
Dilapidation 😂, love that word. Keep up the content bro 💪🏾
Hey John, if you want to reduce glare while riding, buy Oakleys, that's what I wear when I ride, they are worth the investment!
Love your videos. I'm from Norway and have never been to the US before, so it's fun to see places and stuff that they don't show on TV :)
Real talk I got chased by a dog while riding bikes during a family bike ride and that sh1t scared me for my whole childhood haha!
That bike is insane, I want one.
I used cling tint on my full helmet face shield. U just cut it to size and stick it in place. Remove it when it gets dark. Or u can also get a dirt bike helmet with a visor.
Probably polarized glasses would do good the ones I have are amazing and it helps me see when it's low light.
love the video man you went by my old high school and my dads house in the beginning you just didn't show the footage of his house, my daughter enjoyed watching the video with me and seeing the old neighborhood.
Loving the uploads hicks 👍
POLARIZED sunglasses will help with the glare!!!!
Wow cool, thanks for the ride!!! I’m old and font get to see much of of our world!!
I remember the old school bmx with mag rims in the 80s and early 90s 🎉😂
I just like hearing you talk about stuff while we go for a ride.
Yeah it's strangely addictive, as soon I click on one of those videos I watch through through the whole thing. And I have a very short attention span on YT otherwise
What's up John, I recently came back to Your channel after a while, I really enjoy Your films.

BIGUPS JOHNNY. Happy New Year from the SANTA CRUZ CALI.
Happy New Year HIXS❤
Hey John you gotta be more alert. I saw that dog when you rode by 🐕👀
W Hicks for the long videos ,keep ‘em coming 👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
5:58 ~~ What's "cold" for California? A brisk 75° ? 😋
Hahaha, lol yeah 😂
I love these videos man, keep 'em up
polarized lens reduce glare
Thanks to u John hicks I’m buying a sur ron light bee later today and can’t wait to tear up Washington state in it I hope to road trip down to Los Angeles and ride sur rons with u buddy
I am in shock! This is the beautiful city of LA? The city where the weather is always perfect, and everyone is a rich star?
First love from San Bernardino 🙏🏻🙌
Another great video John. I love being taken to areas us tourists would never go.
Have you ever tried the Kevlar Tire liners?
He could carry some slime
You need a different platform for your uncut versions and just stay on RUclips with your cut versions. People really wanna see the raw footage as if they were the ones riding the bike.
Great videos, Fam!
Edit: The uncut versions can be behind a paywall on another platform to help build this main channel even more.
34:16 When you opened that porta potty, you nearly spewed chunks
Can you ride where Friday was filmed or cool kicks
In the new year maybe some stubby fenders to keep the splut off ya if you go through a little might be nice
The first time I heard u say a tire felt soggy my dude was today and I’ve fallowed u for over 3 years lol I’m just learning as I go with the words homie great video
My commute on a bike here in the New York City area and I always have my baseball hat and a helmet on top of that and that cuts glare for me
Bro make more downtown content! That stuff is so entertaining
The train is now the A line. They changed it from colors to letters. Now it goes from Long Beach, Union Station, Pasadena, and ends at Azusa.
Good video John its cool seeing LA
I ride with a full face helmet and sunglasses! I've never noticed anyone talking trash...lol. But, maybe I'm just clueless..lol. Try using polarized sunglasses, that may help reduce the glare for you. 🤙
I just started thinking about a really old episode of In Living Color when, I think it was Damon Wayans, was playing a homeless guy and he was showing how he used spit to add extensions to his cardboard house.
You inspired me to take my sehomy out, next is the sur ron❗️
John I heard you mention LA-OC live, Jeremy said on his RUclips channel that he is taking a break because of personal reasons, sounded like someone was messing with him. Just thought you would like to know if you don’t know already be safe !
Hey John I love watching your videos
Amber colored lens will help knock out the glare and give you clearer vision
Thanks for great video God bless
it would be so tight if you followed the path of the classic movie falling down
Nice bike bro I think she got a point at the price of those e-scooters you might as well get a motorcycle rather yet a used zero or Harley live wire you be set but it’s all about what you want to ride as a hobby
Nice to see your videos i will be closer to you. Moving to simi valley cali hope to see you live.....
Just found your channel. It looks like a dystopian post apocalyptic city.
Hell yeah,new video on my birthday
Say Mr Hicks, do they make a quiet bell thing for E-Bikes? Something to tell people, in effect, I am not trying to sneak up on you to jump you, I am just going past? Hope so.
Yeah I know, those ding ding bells do not appeal to everyone. A bell which says excuse me please, passing through.
RIDE AROUND LONG BEACH NEAR THE PIKE 🎡
John's having fun with us with his car names.😅
37:26 You were riding next to the expo (E) line that comes out of Santa Monica
La needs to build a cargo box neighborhood for cheap living for the homeless...
i was thinking to get 1 i just wondering if it self balancing are not
haters will always hate😤, w vids
Haters can kick rocks 😂
@@williamsnyder1205 🥾🪨
37:35 Now your next to the (A) that, as you know, comes out of Long Beach
Lmao smellavission, still a dream to behold since 2023
they already made it... its simple to do but the blending of smells to be precisely one thing is hard... but say orange or lemon, is easy and already done... years ago. its still in early testing but LinusTechTips covered one brand who did it
dags u like dags, dags? yea dags, I like dags but i like caravans more.
Why would I want a caravan that’s got no fuckin’ wheeeelz ☘️
@@jeremyblackwater439 classic... one of the best movies still today..
Herman Miller was the chair brand you may have been thinkin of @29:39
Try yellow tinted glasses or anything polarized
Snow goggles
I’m up in the valley and we got no alleys. And if there is one it sucks😂. La and Long Beaches alleys are top tier
How fast does that surron go
Herman Miller is the chair you were trying to think of
please make another channel based on no cutting so you don’t get any bans 💯💯
Metal gates everywhere, just like scary nations in south America.
are this surron bike self balancing ???
Chevy=el camino, Ford=ranchero
The creator is right! You see more on a bike than a car.
How many miles do you get on that ebike
Hicks ride around like he’s looking for drugs
super goated youtuber
Stray dogs and “dogs” are like two different animals to me 🤷🏾♂️. I like dogs but I don’t play either 😒
Its like humans im not gonna assume you have good intentions if i dont know you and you come running up on me.
Get polarized lenses to reduce glare
I hate driving around LA because of my dad. I’ve been around all these streets on bike it’s fun but in a car it sucks
Even if I am from Russia, I have a dream to buy a surron and go to Los Angeles. and ride on the roads every day
Do you have polarized glasses? They will take care of the glare.
I have been in two Kansas prisons, the D.W.P. is not high enough to be a prison look-a-like.
