Aye man be safe. I'm glad you are ok thoe. You can feel the bad vibe of watts threw the viedo

bmx in the hood at night

Bro don't be doing nothing to get hurt my dude... I don't know what id do without your videos #hicksfam stay safe out there

Awesome video keep up the awesome work Hicks love the videos!

watching some of the videos ya posted from before I started following. I'm tryna watch every video atleast 1 time but a bunch I've seen 3 or more times they are dope.

Dude that security dude was sketched about you asking him that. That's a bad sign. I'd stay away from there, especially since you don't know the area. Comfort can help you escape a bad situation, don't need to get stuck in a bad spot.

Awesome vlog! Thanks John. Be safe.

great video hicks. I used to frequent that area often to pick up work with my primo (Free Saner Lok) it brought back some good memories, thanks! 10:30 that's right stay on your toes G, respect.

If you mind your own business and don't disrespect, nothing will happen to you. But you always have to be cautious at all times, FOR REAL. I will always have love and respect for the G's and OG'S keeping it REVOLUTIONARY. I love the streets but not as much as i love studying and learning new things everyday that will help prepare me for the future GOD has planned for me. I stopped kicking it in the streets because they were jealous of me and tried to set me up and after that I was paranoid and didn't know who to trust. That's the reason why I'm strapped and only focused on my dream. Follow your instinct, listen to your heart, and create your own path. Words of wisdom, I've learned how to be more patient, considerate, and positive. PEACE ☆ & LOVE ♡

Love the vlogs keep em coming

Love your videos bro! Huge fan!

Good editing John keep it up!

Bid Bad Ass South Central! My Favorite video! This my hood! Love it man keep up the great work.!!!

Bro I love your videos cause they're real they show what LA really is even Long Beach other vloggers only show West Hollywood, Santa Monica and the West side in general but they never even show the sketchy shit you really show what its like to live in L.A how shady even the nice parts are keep up the good work and stay safe out there

Subscribed because of these videos, keep up the great content my man!

I dont know how I ended up stumbling upon your channel, I dont bmx at all but I gotta say man... you got some balls. I got sucked in cause your riding your bike in some really rough places, I like it. I like to see the stuff you get to see. Keep em up man hope you BMX on the some East Coast hoods sometime.

Love these videos

Really enjoying these Hood videos

Yo Hicks I love your LA hood vids. I am from LA currently living in The Philippines. Reminds me of home.

Cool bro keep u the work lov ur vids

Right now, I'm just loving these videos. All your videos have something sick going on it's just all enjoyable to watch. You have really inspired me to want to get into bmx, but I can't afford a bike due to having to pay for my sisters schooling (also text books and what not can be expensive af ). So winning the bike would just be really good for me right now. But wether I win it or not, keep making dope ass vids man #hixfam

Go to florence ave

I have became a big fan in just 2 vids. So notification squad.

I liked this vid bro, I was born and raised in Redondo Beach and know all the areas you ride, it's like being back home bro. If you get the chance can you do a vid in Redondo Hermosa or Manhattan. Thanks bro. Represent LA I want that bike.

Great vid

Dope video!

Get back out there John !!

"Do you know where the Watts Towers are?" Hilarious!!

low key risking ur life out there jus for us is pretty amazing cz not a lot of youtubers do that and its good content but not safe.

Sick jumps

Hicks risking life and limb for the culture!

Damn I was raised in that part of Cali 🤙🏼 I used to live on 100th st which is not that far from that metro stop.

Hicks goes all day and you've pushed me to do so many thing to better myself. I want to win the curby bike BC my bike broke and I cannot get a new one any time soon. It would mean so much if I could have the honor to ride a bike that you've rode. Your my role model and your such an inspiration to everyone. HICKS FAM! From your fan Chris

This is my favourite bmx in the hood yet

The title says south central but he said he was in watts can someone explain.

You should go to Crenshaw

Ill join ya on that adventure!

Awesome, you're my hero

Omg i want the kirby sm

you should take a small road trip to the Bay Area & ride around SF's China Town. that would be a fire ass vlog. maybe in the future? :)

Watts towers reminded me of that one mission on gta Sa

Hicks from the preview of the skatepark , the fence that you went into is we're a crack dealer shot to death , it was on tv on crime watch central . South central murder is the name of the ep

If you go through usc please pass through my hood... it’s on 27 nd maple.... and there is a pretty cool drop at the high school called santee right in front of some laundry

Random guy:wanna get rid of your bike? Hick:oh no *slowly backs away* nah

12:02 when hicks makes sure he not wearin any gang associated colours loool

Love your vids, im watching you since 2016. Hope i win the bmx ;) keep up with the good stuff

Creativity is always there. You're a master with the camera. I want the Kirby because ever since the vlog it's been smnthin to look forward to everyday bro! Plus the bike is pretty famous 😁

Yo john ride up in oakland i live out here and i know you'd get some good content

Really really need and what the kriby bike and also i like your new bike it bad wacth u tmorrow lol

sounded like shaggy from Scooby doo when that guy started screaming at you lol

I would want the bike so I could have a fun, fast bike to go on bike rides with my friends and go to the skatepark down the street from me. I have always wanted a BMX bike. The nicest bike I've ever had is a Walmart mountain bike and you know how good those are. But I'm still grateful to have it because that thing got me to school for a few years. I live in Las Vegas Nevada btw. I promise you if I get it I'll get good use out of it. Anyway I love your vids. Keep up the good work.

Do you want to get rid of your bike 😂 You just got it, and no man Hicks will rather give it to us in 2 weeks

Hicks fame love you videos

I live in the Nickerson garden project just right up the street from 103 station 😭😭😭

Being from Los Angeles, Grandma from Inglewood, I'll just say that you're definitely hitting the areas that you have to watch yourself at. And West of USC is no joke so be careful out there too. However, I also like that you show that as long as you pretty much stick to yourself, mind your business, during the day, you're not at too much risk. Stay towards the major streets and don't wonder around deep in the neighborhoods and you'll be okay. Contrary to popular belief, most people in those areas are hardworking individuals, but through a lot of systematic oppression through no fault of their own, they are poor and marginalized. Are there gangs and gangsters in those areas? Definitely. Do they make up the majority? Absolutely not. The majority are hardworking poor people. That's it. Much respect for you going to these areas and de-stigmatizing them through video. Another suggestion would be hit up the Inglewood Forum and Hollywood Park. But always, stay safe.

Hit up the Rio san gabriel river on Norwalk and long beach dope spots. Skatepark in bellflower to. And in Downey you can jump the river with a cement ramp made by biker and skaters

Damn dude. Risking your life everyday just make videos is kool. Keep it up. Like to see more of your bloobers that didn’t make the cut. Lol

I watch all your videos till the end, really enjoy them! Got me into riding, got me into wanting to make more content for my channel. I would love the bike because it'll help me progress in my riding, rather than riding an old beat up Walmart bike, I have your grips on the bike, those grips are prob worth more than the bike 😂😂 but it doesn't stop me from trying new things and learning on the bike, even if it does break on me, it is a little discouraging, but you gotta ride what you can and do what you can with what you have, with the Kirby bike it would really help me out and really allow me to make more content for my channel and allow me to progress in my riding!! Would really love to win the bike, I comment on a lot of your videos! Really enjoy them, keep doing a wonderful job. #hixfam

Next time you come I’ll give you a tour watts ain’t that bad lol

Dude I comment on many of your videos, keep it up, its getting towards documentary style, I can see your future, thinking Ross Kemp, you just need to watch one video after the next. I came because of BMX but honestly thats not what keeps me, its the real life situations and the crazy fucks you come across, its always the story, the quality and the journey, the BMX is only a small part, keep up the good work. I still think you should consider travel with the BMX to other parts of the world, we don't want you to get killed but it make for good youtube.

Yo your newest bike is a sick built mix

I should win because I have recently been out of work and had A big slam and snapped my farm and don't have the money to replace it and my bday is coming up love your videos you the one that got me into bmx

The guy yelling from the white car said "Hey, I watch you. I watch you. I watch you."

I want the bike cuz I wanna learn to be good at something and been watching your videos for a long time now

im new to bmx and currently im riding a very difficult to bunny hop dk set but i hav a subrosa frame any tips or ideas for my future starter set up @johnhicks

I whant the bike because you inspire me every day to ride bike and I don’t got money to buy one bmx like that so I really whant the bike John I like yousing bikes every day now

A JHicks a could I bother you for some advice I'm watching your videos (as of late) a month or so and have been inspired to ride I was wondering if you can give suggestions on a bike wether complete or a frame,bars,crank and wheels that are good ? I don't know anything about BMX bike like the one you cruise and definitely don't want to go and just get any ol bike and especially come to find out it's cheap and not good quality. Please and a thank you. :-)

You got balls but you already kno coming down these alleys ain't no joke

John you are such a great rider i wished i was you your content is amazing i would love to win the bike because i have never had a bmx bike before and would love to start
