all right welcome to another episode of
riding with Seth and I'm here on Long
Island I have a little bit of free time
today so what I figured I'd do is take
you guys to some of the spots that I
used to ride growing
up okay so this is Clock Tower
Plaza
and the only reason we would ride here
is because this a gap right here from
that parking lot into
here so when I first started BMXing I
jumped this Gap right here I was in
flipflops caught right here I went over
the handlebars into this parking lot
that's one fall that I remember because
I got really really scraped and banged
up I'm pretty sure I jumped off this
roof here actually I'm 100%
[Applause]
sure yeah I jumped off this roof roof
here uh now there's a big fence in the
way and actually this fence used to be a
lot closer so I jumped off the roof over
the fence and onto there yeah let me
stop thinking about this
so besides like manualing curbs and
stuff like that that's it for Clock
Tower we used to have all sorts of ramps
right here the neighbors must have just
hated
it
dou like imagine you're a realtor and
you're trying to sell that house or
something and there's just ramps
everywhere here what that's like
John yo what's up you home yeah I'm
right out front okay all right and then
like a drone get a shot of me like
flying
overhead yeah we can do it we can do it
it's a stunt kite it's a stunt kite yep
it's um It's a Full Throttle St kite and
the main thing is that it's got two
lines so that um you can control it in
the air if we're going to mount the
GoPro should we mount it like like there
or something um yeah that would be a
good
spot you know come to think of it if
this GoPro fell off it would actually be
pretty hard to
find so it's taped on looks pretty
pretty secure you think the GoPro is
going to weigh it down to the point
where
no as long as we have wind this thing's
going to shoot up like a rocket
thee there we go she's
up
so this field is actually is between my
house and John's house or where my house
used to be when I lived here and this
isn't really a street spot at all just
we would have to ride through here so
many times there probably are some
things we ride
here
so I'm going to head over to the last
riding spot and that's coaster park now
coaster park was probably the place we
rode most and it's really not that good
of a riding spot at all the only reason
that we would go to coaster park is
because it was
convenient oh
crap
so when we used to ride coaster park we
would grind these benches there's a
little handrail there that you actually
hit on a bike the one that's on my side
is no longer
there
[Applause]
when I used to BMX I jumped both these
staircases and honestly I don't even
know where I would get the speed to do
that what oh
oh maybe just charge down those
staircases and then pedal as fast as I
can I mean I guess this is possible
pretty pretty tiring run up here what
ride this one right here so just charge
up this hill and hit the tray and then
and then uh kind of do a tree ride and
come down that looks cool it's possible
Right definitely need more
[Applause]
speed I'll take it all right so this
target was definitely not here
when I was growing
up and I don't know how much I did in
the way of skinny lines back then this
is kind of sketchy cuz it's got this
little Peak
here you just get over to where it's a
little higher
and ah there we
go all right so I guess I got to jump
this so as you can see the town I grew
up in is actually pretty average for
riding Street if not a little bit below
average
surprise my friend Jeff picked me up
we're going to ride some Trails so all
is not over here we're going to hit
still well
finally someone else that rides regular
pedals
right yeah right
here
f holy
that could have been a lot
worse
[Applause]
oh holy
oh
you come down those rocks and you got to
make a turn right here and it's like
straight up sand helmet is totally
saving my ass holy crap you hit your
head yeah that's how that came
off you think the seat's too high for me
I don't know what do you think let me
try it I can't even believe how light
this bike is this bike feels
amazing Jeet is nowhere to be found I'm
flying up climbs like they're not even
there Jeet must be so tired right
now I tell you I'm going to be loving
that bike in New Jersey though in those
Rock
Gardens I'm going to wait
up
that thing's pretty tiring
huh I've ridden 29ers before and I've
ridden XE bikes before but I don't think
I've ever really ridden one that fit me
like this like it's actually small the
suspension's pretty much set up for
somebody might weit I mean it really
feels
good so that was a really good surprise
I didn't think we were going to be able
to ride today but uh I'm heading home to
take a shower and have some dinner with
the family thanks for riding me today
and I'll see you next
time okay so it's been like an hour
since we got back from the trails and I
started importing importing the footage
and I realized that the GoPro that was
on Jeep's head is now gone so we're
going back to the trails I'm I'm really
hoping that just on the ground someplace
like it fell off the back of the truck
cuz it could have been sitting on the
bumper of the
truck
excuse me you didn't happen to find a
GoPro did you Goro no no pretty bummed
out we did not find the GoPro here we're
going to retrace our
steps back home and see if we find it
like laying at the side of the road like
maybe it was sitting on the back of the
pickup truck or something now I think
this is it I think this is it holy crap
here's the helmet strap oh my God here's
my GoPro oh my God it is smashed it is
smashed but you know what we have have
the footage we have the footage and the
the actually the inner lens I think just
has dust on it it's not scratched so if
I could just get this uh glass piece my
GoPro is
good holy crap
