FIRST TIME RIDING MY SURRON IN LA COMPTON GANG ZONES (CRIPS & BLOODS) 

This channel is the best way to view Los Angeles.

Dude i have severe PTSD and anxiety some times i don't leave my place for days. Ugh, but i keep pushing. Don't stop pushing yourself. Once you hide it is even harder to come out. GO OUT SIDE is what i tell everyone

Hell yea I see people flying on those out on the trails. Looks like so much fun! Enjoy it hicks can’t wait to see you take it to some dirt 🤙🏼

This is new and refreshing content and it opens so many doors when it comes to exploration around la. Can't wait to see more of it bro. Stay safe.

i love that bike, even tho im not riding it, i can feel the same enjoyment as you have!

l'm definitely looking forward to more with this thing. Definitely Dope!

Dudes just loving not having to peddle up hills 😂😂 sweet ride man

Sweet bike dude! Love the cruising. Would be cool to see more BMX in the hood but I don't wanna see you getting E-Dirt Bike jacked. Looks like loads of fun man. Enjoy! 🤙

Hi John I reckon your new electric bike is way better to get around because when you were riding your BMX and your Dirt jumper some places you had to get a train but now you have a better means of transport and you can get there quicker and faster but you still have to be careful because like I said in the other message I sent you. You are now riding a bike that runs on a battery so you have to be more alert when riding on the streets

Awesome vid man, love flying around the city, so much fun...try doing a little wheelie to get your front tire up on the curb then stand up to get the back end up

Def need more videos on the sur ron, absolute beast!! love the cruising

Daaaaamn beats pedaling the bmx bike around town , more places to visit !

You should do some upgrade videos. That thing needs tail lights and a sticker kit and a bash guard and a crazy battery and a crazy controller and some crazy mtb forks and and and and...

Electric bikes are starting to become more and more popular by the year

So much more travels & adventures with the sur ron, happy for u John

I own one but I've been visiting the east coast since December. But I'm heading home to LA in 2 weeks,I just can't wait. This video is everything,I usually travel the entire city at least 3 times a week it's crazy fun

Absolute banger after banger!! Love your videos and I've been following you for years now! Your content will forever be wholesome and awesome! All that matters is that you're happy man! 💯

I have the same bike. Consider loosening the speedo on the left and turning it towards you. Gives you a better angle on seeing your speed and tucks the horn to the underside of the bars. Less likely for accidentally hitting. TAGVO Bike Mirror set for like $10 for under bar mirrors are a good add. Motoparty Plug is an inline headlight switch for about 30 (plug and play). Enjoyed the video

A lot of potential with these videos. I subbed to your channel because I liked seeing you explore LA, and now you can explore even more easily.

18:00 I really enjoy watching these videos too see your progression with this bike. one day you might wheelie like a boss and jump stuff out there! Can't wait!! :D

Best vlog in while hicks keep them coming 😀👍

yo I like the head mount keep it up John getting those 2018 vibes

Take your new bike there to that neighborhood where that Tesla did that jump and crash. Also, its been my experience riding my bike in SF that drivers are very poor judges of estimating on coming speed. Around here they think bikes move at the same rate and pedestrians. With all your bike experience in LA traffic I'm certain you notice this too. Just be aware that with your new increased speed you will have less time and distance to react.

That thing looks craaazy

45 mins vids of this and its going to be bussin bussin brodaa

i grew up riding dirt bikes and atv's when hitting jumps you want to crack the throttle right before the end of the ramp to keep yourself level i cant imagine its much different for an electric bike since its the same concept. sweet bike ride safe!

GAME CHANGER. Keep these up Hicks. Loved the vid. Absolute FIRE bro. Thing is CRAZY!

that thing looks like so much fun bro!!

Sick Video Haven't Watched you in a while But still one of the best exploring channels!!

Shout out from GTA. Dude that thing rips, looks like so much fun. It just needs a little more work on the up the stairs test to fully see the potential.

about to get a sur ron, cool to see you get one. also dig the longer videos bro

Shits quick great to see you out riding still 🤙

I think it's awesome you're having such a blast. Professional motorcycle road racers like MotoGP etc, will train on dirt bikes off-road to sharpen their balance, throttle control, braking and reflexes. So I'd be riding that up in the mountains, before fully attacking urban streets. Really diggin' the videos dude.

Been waiting for this bro

Congrats on the sur ron 💪🏻🕺🏻⚡️

Can’t wait for more of this content

Watched all 37 mins! I can’t wait to get my Sur Ron!!!

great video! that bike is so dope bro. Be safe but please enjoy it. Glad to see future vids on it. Peace:)

Love seeing LA, but some desert riding where you live would be sick

Just a heads up when braking use both front/back brakes and progressively brake from soft to hard counting down from 5. Tips motorcycle riders use to not fly over handle bars 🤙🏽

I just like watching your town go its great to watch it on landscape mood

This is the best thing that’s happened to the channel in years!

When I first rode an electrical bike I was like I don’t think I can go back to pedaling lol

Super sick !!!! Love seeing LA !!!!

I have a Himi Cruiser , man I love the miles and freedom it gives you..have fun!

really sick bike! i was wondering if you could try out the belt instead of the chain because it's a bit loud. doesn't matter if you don't get it though, just a thought.

Some dirt trails on that monster would be pretty epic.

awesome man, really thinking getting a sur ron for the desert

Love this video definitely make more

No complaints. Everything was as advertised. Performs well. Powered up a fairly steep hill by our house with no problem.

I love the Sur-Ron just go explore bro around the city 👍🏾

I looked in to one of those bikes, I really want one! But the regulations here are too strange. Don't think I can ride it anywhere except in enclosed areas which sucks. :(

love your vids brutherrr

lets go man thats sick

Sick bike this is bro! Would love to try this thing!

Jhon Hicks I have court tommorw I love you man I wanna be in the free world I am a good person I promise , you inspire me a whole bunch im glad I got to say I got a picture with you no doubt my #1 fav Content creator an I was raised with a skateboard by my side my whole life always will be with a skateboard but bmx is legit asf I started thanks to you amigo much luv God bless

This looks way too fun 💪

Dope vid! Jumping is all about the pre-load...I suggest watching "how to jump a full-suspension mountain bike" videos.

To scratch your nose, hand under the helmet...you would think through the visor area, but gotta go from the bottom. Took me 3 or 4 times to get used to it too with the full face helmet. Great video bro!

Great Vids !!

I really enjoy your videos bro

Thoughts on driving out of the city for some true open areas and riding around with that there?

someone commented about this last video. theres a way you can get a speedometer overlay on your gopro. Would be cool to see, especially at the higher speeds with the sur ron

That electric bike is so sick bruh!! I gots to get one!!

Im expecting you to be body builder size by next year haha love your vids man

im lovin this bike, but things seem to go bye to quick. thats what i love about the bmx... i can see the scenery alot better but i do love the new electric....

Keep it going bro

Nice! I wonder how that thing would hold up sending it off some dirt jumps.

I always like your content because of who you are and what your into and consistently upload weather I like it or not doesn’t matter if I don’t like it I’m just depressed and busy doesn’t mean I don’t literally like it so what I do bro don’t worry about what people think

Oh shit haha boy got the e bike! Just got a super 73. The suron is a whole other beast tho. Keep the content coming!

Damnit Hicks you got me looking up Sidon videos and considering putting in orders for this thing. Shit is so lit

fire vid 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

this dudes hobby is literally risking death and i like it

Amazing ride. 👍

Soo much fun !

Gotta record some desert shenanigans!

That bike is dope & I want one. Bummed we won't see the bmx though.

Yessir bro bring back the hill bombs on this electric bike that would be mad dope

Keep the videos coming

This is an awesome video of LA by bike. You should do a long distance run between DTLA to Compton.

Awesome bike! Fun video to watch. My only minor complaint, and it's just me I'm sure, is having the camera on the helmet. I almost get dizzy when you have to quickly turn your head left and right at intersections. But again, it's just me. Still, I loved your content with the new bike, and look forward to seeing more! Thanks!

Damn, I'd actually love this bike. Does it have gears and what not like a normal dirt bike it seems like u have a clutch on the left side? And how's the top speed good enough to keep up on a highway?

I’m getting one it looks fun asf

Ayeeee I see you be watching NickMercs🤝🏾🤝🏾🤝🏾

Love your show

You should do videos in the San Fernando Valley, and Santa Clarita it would be awesome footage for all the people who know the bike paths and areas around there!

That bike is sweet. I've been looking at battery skateboards

Broo yesir you got to come to Compton I remember coming out of one your videos I’m the background about 3-4 years back I was lowkey a bit shy to approach but I’ll say wassup now

how long does the charging take? and how long can u ride it till its empty???

Motivating me to ride! Anyhoo order a spare set of good tubes even if you run stock tires. You can also upgrade the brake pads to ones with heat sinks if necessary.

You Finally got a helmet?yes!

10:40 wants to ride that alley, sees guy standing there, is like naaah.

Yup. I'm buying one. Idk how yet but I'm gonna buy one of those

John hicks looking like VENGEANCE 🦇

There's a kid here at the park who jumps the pyramid.... he throttles it like a dirt bike... I bet Turnbull canyon would be fun on that..... glad you're having so much fun...I have an ebike.. but the sur ron seems more fun

Sweet ebike how long does the battery last? I'm so glad I can't afford one because if I did get one I probably wouldn't go back to my mountain bike???

As usual i really enjoy your videos. Only thing is not sure if because your speed is faster but I almost get dizzy watching

I like it your selling me into it. I wanna get one where did you get yours?

John gonna take himself all the way to Canada on that thing!

Okay I'm down to get this bike. Would is be suitable for every day commute?
