all right guys so i'm at my home shop here good to see you again i'm recording right
yeah you're good cool oh my god i'm back in second day guys this is literally like my
old stomping grounds outside of camp pendleton i used to ride out here almost every day every
day that i had off or i wasn't deployed this is the closest i can get to feeling like i'm
in chicago because this really was my second home for many of years i learned how to wheelie
around here
but i'm so excited to hopefully bring you guys on base
this thing's like topping out with these california drivers man that one goes like 80.
this is wild i'm riding a bike back on base for the first time in probably
five six years camp pendleton christina's gate
this is the farthest northern point of camp pendleton it's literally just where
they threw all the grunts keep them away from everyone else all types of training out there
there's boots over the wire so you'll throw your boots over the wire when you get out kind of like
saying goodbye to a chapter of your life and on to the next you throw it out on the first telephone
pole outside of base they have to come out there every month or two and clean them all off
more boots it really is just you out here man when you're out on these roads especially around base
all of a sudden it kind of feels like you're not in southern california like overpopulated southern
california i should say nostalgia overload right now marine corps space camp pendleton
what good morning
what thanks man thank you for yours
just like that we're in gas prices on base are always like 50 cents less than ever well it's 419
compared to the five dollars that i just filled off it's literally 70 or 80 cheaper here oh my god
i was drowning that pool multiple times gunny made us get really crazy qualified in swimming so
here's first combat engineers also known as first cab then everyone else in this area is literally
infantry battalions there's four infantry battalions and one uh combat engineer battalion
nostalgia overload for sure now every time i come on base especially since i've been out i know this
is my first time riding on base but i've driven on base before i always have to come into the px
grab a drink for my fallen buddy that i'm going to introduce you to chick-fil-a is on base what the
face covering is required
thank you that officer glaring at me because i didn't salute him but i cannot believe i have the
0304 on base right now this is freaking insane all right guys this is like the formal memorial
for a lot of the fawn guys from this regiment um and this is like where the families will come see
their loved ones names stuff like that but for the younger guys the marines as you can see on
the distance there that is a ginormous mountain and up at the top those are the crosses of our
of our brothers i'll see you in about an hour because i know i'm in jeans and black air forces
this is going to be a while and this and your boy's going to be sweating so let's do it this
thing is no joke but we got to get my boy bud light just sucks i'm doing it in jeans but we'll
make it work i'm gonna have to see the crosses right up there that's how far away we are boys
halfway
this was a lot tougher than i remember boys future many hoodies i guess
you
so
huh
i'll turn this back on a little bit guys the dog tags waving in the wind guys this is um
a lot of the young men of the fifth marines over the past
15 20 years pretty much 2 000 and upward every single one of these dudes were extremely young
and their time just came a little bit earlier than all of ours this is one of my best friends
nick every time i'm in cali i come up here i make sure his cross is nice and the weeds are pulled
and i always try to bring him up a beer you like four locos a lot but they don't sell those at the
px so a beer will have to do you drink just about anything all these young guys up here
watch over all the young guys who are still down there in the fifth marines now they're up here
looking over everybody i'll tell you what it's pretty powerful thing when
you come up here and you hear the dog tags and the flags rattling and
you're by yourself stay up here and spend a little bit more time
about an hour later it's just like i said i think i was like
an hour on the dot some more of the barracks
big old seven tone rolling through bringing you guys up to a pretty cool place where i learned how
to drag me and do a lot of other stuff and it's uh literally now probably the dream lot of dream lots
nowhere else can you ride like this man nowhere else have the whole place to yourself
i taught many of you guys how to ride up here but welcome to the helo pad man
look at this place and wait the best part
look at that view of the ocean on a stoppie
look at that man are you kidding me
god i'm so happy i got to bring you guys onto my basement my second home did a lot of my
growing up here this is like where i spent my years between childhood and becoming an adult
these weights are for helicopters to practice picking up loads with
literally my favorite place in the whole world to ride up here
at least lots like tell me this is not the dream lot smooth as a putter too
go get some gas and get out here before a helicopter wants to come land
place is still abandoned
it literally feels and i know a lot of you military guys will be able to relate to this
as well it literally feels like this was a whole nother lifetime ago like this didn't
really even happen in my life you know like this the years that i was in the military so when you
come back here especially with a piece that you like you now like whether that's your car your
bike or you know something that you do now and you come back to this and you realize okay this
is a part of my life and and the reality of it kind of just hit you like holy [ __ ] like this
wasn't just all a dream like it's crazy all right guys i'm gonna get some gas get off base it's
always pretty cool to come back on here whenever i get the chance if you guys enjoyed this video
