Damn. I'm going to miss seeing you on the channel. I was watching build and battle again after years and seeing how much fun you guys had brought me out of the place I was and got me smiling. I can't wait to see what you come up with. You're how I found Hoonigan all those years ago. Best of luck on all the future plans, man.
You are a legend - and you will continue to pave your path in automotive history. Stoked to see you off and able to push the boundaries and chase your dreams even more than before! Love ya dawg
Honestly, you were as much of a key to Hoonigan’s success as Scotto or Block. Your enthusiasm is infectious and you are truly the people’s champ. Excited for all the big things you will continue to do, homie.
Absolutely I didn't know anything about hoonigan until I seen videos of og twerk stallion and seen hert and was like dam I like his style he's got a fc with a ls turbo low low and just sick
I get the impression Ken’s passing really made the whole hoonigan team rethink what they want out of life. It has really been a beautiful thing to see come out of such a tragic situation. We don’t have much time here, you’ll only ever regret the shit you didn’t do.
From what I understand this was out of their control. Once Hoonigan was bought things started to change. I think it's better Hert is going to do his own thing. 2024 is going to be amazing for this channel.
@@CompressorSurge oh really? I just figured Ken’s stake (or did he own fully?) would transfer to his estate. I’m going to take a look, makes plenty of sense though.
Brought no offense but this is just fancy talk We now know what happened A good friend of his who just so happens to be named T-Pain has been working to get his nappy boy automotive brand off the ground He gave hurt partial ownership in the company and now they're going to grow that thing together... Like he has his own UA-cam channel and I'm pretty sure Hoonigan camp was paying him well I'm sure he was making more than enough money to just pay the bills I'm pretty sure considering his car collection He is a relatively substantial savings his son his family were going to be more than all right.... It just so happens He was given a better opportunity that allows for growth
I'll miss seeing you, Vin, Scotto and Dan building cars together but am stoked to see what you do going forward. Good luck and lemme know if you're ever in ATL.
you hit it on the spot brotha. and herts earned a fan and supporter in all of us I'm sure. if he keeps up the streaming/UA-cam and continues the pursue of self branding and pushing out more stuff and possibly looking into other investments such as real estate he'll be completely fine on his own
Spoken from a true OG right there Finn you did it and it seems you are doing great and a great family man I hate to see him leave the main channel but I will follow him religiously as I do Finn. Hell yeah Hert you got this man!
Hey Hert!! I was actually the person that dropped off the diecast model of your car at Hoonigan!!! There are a few gs300 that come in that color orange with some aftermarket pieces so it was modified from a stock one to match up with your full size car!!!1..
Yea i remember getting into hoonigan BECUASE of Hert and Street Shark youtube videos. Watching the video of his rx7 with Childish Gambino playing in the edit just opened up a whole new world to me when i was a teenager in highschool. Dude has no idea how many young peoples lives he’s changed over a few videos on UA-cam. I love this man and hope he does great in his future 👌
he left to pursue his own enterprise. the Hooni Gs understood & wished him well. no drama & no unkind feeling ensued his departure. good luck, Dude & Godspeed
I mean, Hert said himself that he wanted *ownership* and obviously he didn't get any...and that can't feel good. I believe they have mutual respect, but it's clear he wanted to stay at Hoonigan (he states he was their 4th employee) and get some kind of ownership stake. Either they didn't offer any or it wasn't enough...either way...I think Hert expected more than what he got. Time will tell if this was the right decision. I would've gone 'part time' or something to keep my profile up while my own thing got going...
@@JustinEpperlyNo doubt, saying “after 10 years I’m no longer employed” that is something someone says when they want to give a little of the truth but also making a point that it wasn’t he’s choice. Otherwise he would have said I left. 🤷🏾♂️ Kinda sad seeing him leave and in a way that doesn’t feel ok.
Mad respect brotha; I think I can say we are all 100% behind a man who is willing to step out of his comfort zone for securing his family's future. Thats a real man. Here's $100 to get your son a gift. ;)
This mf is a millionaire. Do u not see the 10 cars all over 50k at least in his garage away from home? Bro keep ur money. This mf does not need it at all bro
I stumbled across you guys in 2020, the year my second son was born. I spent up to eight hours a day for 3 months holding him in a children’s hospital 5 hours from home. I did this to keep him comfortable while my wife worked to keep our health insurance. Scrolling through UA-cam looking for an escape, I found your content and enjoyed every minute of it. You all just seemed to fit together. The projects were fun, the burn yard was fun…all of it. My son is one of five children known in the world with an unnamed genetic disorder. He may never walk or talk. But he loves the sound of engines and burn outs. We still watch hours of car content. We can’t thank you enough for helping us get through a difficult time in our lives. We wish you all the best moving forward 🙏🏼
As true as that statement is, I think the future of everything fast cars is in good hands with the people who are big, and the people who are branching out from those big roots. Hert has made me laugh in low times through these past 10 years (lost my dad 11 ago and the hoonigan channel, and a rekindled love of drift cars got me through the worst of it) in ways that I wish I could personally thank him for. His pursuits and endeavors in life are all his own and the fact he decides to share them with us all is pretty bold and worth commending. I hope for the best for him.
You will always be remembered and loved. You handled the resignation great and nobody can ever say anything but you were awesome. Spend some family time, get everything that happened together and I'm sure millions of us want to know everything when you're ready. If you can't find anyone, feel free to reach out. I can't support pizza or carbs bro

Hoonagin felt strange without Danger Dan. Then felt kinda lost without Ken. Now, with all 3 of you gone, it'll never be the same. I wish you nothing but luck brother.😊

Hert, I feel you. Im stepping out of my career for the last 22yrs and completely changing career fields. I spent the last 18 yrs having to place my job over my family and can relate on spending the next period focusing on my family. I look forward to following your next adventure!
I'm sorry, didn't have ownership!? I was sad at first, but my boy is a free agent now. I want Hert to have ownership and huge success and be able to create a dynasty for his son. You are one of 3 faces that represent Hoonigan to me. Scotto. Ken. Hert. Know your worth King. (No Shade, I love Hoonigan)
Speaking of beard life. I remember when I met Elliott. He had a beard life sticker on his 944 and told me a guy named Hert made it. Like 13 years ago. Later we met when you were taking pictures for OMG drift. Crazy how far you’ve gone with all of this. Congrats on the next step!
My good man I’m happy you’re finding your path and are taking care of yourself and your family. Thank you for being a older brother to me wile you were here. I learned a lot from you and best of luck to you. I’ll see you in space cowboy ✊🏾
This is simply the evolution of a man. Couldn't be happier for you, man. Handling it with grace and zero drama is just a bonus and a testament to your character. Here for the long haul, BOIIIIII!
Another Hoonigan legend farewell. I kinda suspected you had left. I think your timed departure was appropriate. The best of days will come to you yet Hert. And they will always love you at Hoonigan.
One thing I learned about life is that when it comes to guys (pre-family), we just want to have fun and be part of other people's projects and goals. As we grow older, wiser, and build a family, now you have a family to secure. And having fun and being part of another person's dream will not safely secure your family. Therefore, by nature, you want to build your own empire for you and your family, and have young, eager, enthusiasts help you build your empire for the next decade or so until they'll need to build their own. It's life's cycles. It's how we all thrive in life. Much love big homie. 🙏
Most of the fans saw that coming. Stuff at hoonigan changes so much, you can´t expect much. Good luck to you Hert. You and the guys, were part of my morning entertainment during the years and reignited my love for cars.
You've always been a backbone for Hoonigan, the channel has not been the same without you, but every time a door closes another one opens up.......keep us entertained 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
i first saw hert in one of taylor rays videos years ago and ended up watching hoonigan because of him 7 years ago im stoked to see what the future holds for hert!
You were the first person I hauled a car for and two weeks ago I started doing it full time. I am happy to have helped, it was a crazy experience 😂. Thank you for the shout out. It's been awesome to watch it all unfold. Best of luck going forward 🙏🏾
You're going to do right by your family because you are a straight up, no nonsense when it counts, likable winner of a person. I wish you nothing but success and will always make time for the Hert.
Dude. Standing here with chills hearing you talk about providing for your family. Hits so hard with me (and I'm sure many others as well). Thank YOU, Hert.
Man it’s crazy how I stumbled upon this. I’m going through the same process. Leaving a career this October is 10years for me. Had my son back in February. So I kno exactly how you feel. Working on my brand and making sure the fam is good. Much respect to you on your adventure. 🙏
Just interviewed for a new job in a completely different industry. It’ll be 10 years at my current employer in November, crazy to be leaving after a decade. These replies definitely are showing a made the right choice. Gotta do what’s right for you.
@@kmf1392 absolutely it’s all god’s plan. What he has and wants for you is for you. A lot of people are scared or fear that next step. But the man upstairs never let down. Walk by faith not by sight
@@Watchmedome3017I have 0 insight. But two thoughts. 1. When Ken passed it could just be a lot to still be around Hoonigan, all the memories and all. 2. When Hoonigan sold some of the OG employees like Hurt felt shafted to not be compensated. He mentioned “I was not an owner when it was acquired” in this video even.
@@ShredGarage yeah ken and brain are the only owners right? atleast on paper.. the other are employed only even if hert is there from the start and helped with making it wat it is...
I'm 33 and been in one single job for 19 years of my life and I'm hearing you out. Once my son was born all those views came to my mind. The future of our families is important
im proud of you. there aren’t a whole hell of a lot of people that look like me who are in my age group represented in this community, you’ve been such an inspiration, and i cant wait to see what’s next. mad love and all respect.
Sometimes you just get too big for your old undies. Can't wait to see what you do brother. So awesome to see how far you've come, and we all know you're not even half way there.
Man hearing about why you chose to leave and what you wanna pursue, I find it awesome to hear you are doing it for your family. I hope your future is bright and Ill pray for your success in the future. Keep up the awesome stuff you do Hert.
You are the reason I was drawn to The Hoonigans in the first place. Seeing you showed me that each of my goals are achievable. Glad to see you trying to do your own thing looking forward to more content
HERT, WE ALL LOVE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU. YOU WERE A HUGE PART OF HOONIGAN, BUT WE LOVE YOU AS YOUR OWN PERSON. PLEASE GET WHAT YOU NEED. ONLY LOVE TO A REAL MAN
I love how hoonigan seemed to try to fresh prince / Aunt viv it, Like nobody would notice that's a completely different chonky black dude. Good luck for the future dude!
I watched your have a beer with Hert back in the day and that was when I knew you sir were a legend. I appreciate everything you've done with them and I'm a Hert fan for life. Respect
Really gonna miss seeing you on Hoonigan. Never gonna be the same without you, but good on you for doing what you need to do. Hopefully you're all still on good terms and we get some Hertz cameos sometime down the road. All the best Hertz, you deserve nothing but.
You've been a huge inspiration! Not to just me, but big people like LZ, Oakes, but so so many of us! I'm so glad your looking forward, family is everything! I have noticed personally Hoonigan hasn't felt the same since Ken passing, and death does change a family, he would be so proud of you! Cannot wait to see what life has in store for you ❤❤❤
I just wanna say from one brown Florida boy to another, thank you Hert for representing so hard and letting your energy shine as an inspiration for us all. I remember when it was just you. And then Simba. And now theres more of us in the scene. But thank you for being such a trailblazer and also leading by example to take ownership of your legacy. Im excited to see what this next era of hertlife has in store. Im off to buy that hood flying shirt now 😅
What do you mean by “more of us”? Funny how minorities don’t want people to see color, but then constantly talk about color. Why can’t this man just be a man? 🤦♂️
@@frank12777 the guy was just saying that you don’t see a lot of black guys or people of color per se in the tuner space once upon a time as you do now calm down it’s not that serious the message wasn’t for you it was for him.
Thank you Hert, been watching you and Hoonigan for these last 10+ years and You really made everything you did have your own flair your own way of doing it and thats something we could all appreciate. Good luck to you on all your future endeavors!
@@HertLife Will you still drop in to Hoonigan from time to time? You will always be on your own path, however paths always cross from time to time! Everyone breaks stuff, you just do it in the most dramatic ways possible and it almost always looks f@#ken spectacular !!
He didn’t die, he’s making his own thing happen. Bro was the best part of every hoonigan video, and now we get that straight to the vein with content from hert himself
Missed opportunity not making you a part owner. You have such a magnetic personality, and truly seem like a kind and genuine dude. Excited to follow you into your new ventures!
Yo Hert! I met you at FD ATL in 2014! You were so awesome and to be honest Hoonigan has gone downhill. You, Jon, and Danger Dan were awesome! DT was an amazing era! Best wishes to you and your family & progression in your career!
Takes alot of courage to do what you did. You should be beyond proud of yourself aswell as your family, we can all tell that you're gonna be an amazing father, an amazing friend and husband. Keep your head up g, you're doing what most people won't.
Life is drama and how we respond to it makes all the difference. More importantly, Life is a gift, even with the worst of days. We either roll through and overcome it or we give up and it overcomes us. Love you Hert, keep being the person you are.
Thank you for taking the job the way you did at Hoonigan and becoming one of the most known, loved and legendary around the brand.. Hope everything works out in the future and plans go as planned. We will be here to support it all 💪❤
I’m french and looking hoonigan video since many years , for me you were my favourite in the team , I like your enthusiasm about cars and the way you talk always make me smiling ! Glad you go for new adventures with your own enterprise and wich you the best Hert !
@HertLife• just wanted to let you know you’ve been a major inspiration to me• Watching how you came up at hoonigan to the Man you are today• And watching your family grow, and who you’re becoming as a man as a black man out here in this world, you are a major inspiration keep on pushing, brother, you are destined for greatness
You were the best part of hoonigan and the reason I started watching. You always have such a good positive energy and you are an amazing role model for the younger generation of car enthusiasts. Family comes first and you’re making the right moves toward the future.
you helped make Hoonigan iconic, you will always be an OG hoonigan to so many people. I think that will help you in whatever you do next, best of luck in the future.
Man this is crazy.. I think everyone can agree how massively important you were for Hoonigan and their image Massive respect on putting the moves for the better of your fam and their future, love to see it man wishing u the best for your future projects o7
Just catching this,,, seems so surreal after Ken’s passing, I know there was a lot behind the scenes with wheel pros and then Ken’s passing then to see DDE take over the Burn Yard is truly surreal!! DDE was truly inspired by KB and hopefully the continue the legacy of the Burn Yard and the Hoonigan legacy
As someone who's getting ready for his first child, I fully respect your reasons man 🙏 "I want these next 10 years to matter for my family" is something I'll always think about now
the only man that makes me believe in humanity. After so long it feels natural for you to have your own lane apart from Hoonigan. Happy to see you with everything you have because you deserve it.
A sad ending, for a new beginning but I’m happy for all of y’all. Wish I didn’t miss so much of the hoonigan era.. it’ll nvr be the same in today’s time
Dawg Ken and Hert got me into hoonigan. Ken with his hoonicorn and hert with the twerkstallion. Like u guys took 2 of my favorites cars lost of all time, and took it to another level that I’ve never seen. So Rest in Peace to Ken🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. Hert may you go out and find Whatchu lookin for dawg I wish you the best fr fr!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I miss the early days of hoonigan youtube, where you all used to have fun in parking lot, doing the man line and jumping shitty cars and making shartkart and all that kind of stuff. This vs That doesnt really do it for me, but the goofing off in hte parking lot with friends did.
Generational wealth brother 💙. Proud of you we will all support you always, your genuine and have done so much for all us teenager that dreamed to have cars. And now most of us have them and grow with you. Keep it up !!!
Hert I respect you more as a Man Husband and Father for putting your family first and doing what’s best for them to and not just yourself. MAD RESPECT ✊
Don’t want to blow smoke, but honestly you were the reason I kept watching Hoonigan. Glad to hear you decided to look out for yourself and your family, all the best for the future.
Another one of my faves moved on. I know you'll keep the trend of not just moving out, but moving up. First Hoonigan video I ever watched was about the Twerkstallion. I'm grateful you introduced me to the hoonmies, I'm grateful for another channel to support in yours 🙏 Always have been and always will be an inspiration to ya girl 💜
Ah, here's Hert! Congrats to moving onward and upward. I Liked and subscribed. Popcorn ready. Hert needs his own channel. He has that energy where he needs his own thing.
I’m so glad that you made this video to show everyone what a great dad you are, and to inspire others to support their families and follow their dreams. I do t even like drifting, I’m not a fan of imports, I love your videos and will continue to follow, great job, all the best luck!
Full transparency, I left in February. It's been a wild year of opportunity and change but I promise I'll update you more soon.
Does this mean I'll never be able to see you break the donk!!!! That thing was made for you.
Damn. I'm going to miss seeing you on the channel. I was watching build and battle again after years and seeing how much fun you guys had brought me out of the place I was and got me smiling. I can't wait to see what you come up with. You're how I found Hoonigan all those years ago. Best of luck on all the future plans, man.

Wherever you go & whatever you pursue, we're with you, buddy! All the best with future endeavours. 🙌
Much love!!!
@@HertLifehit Hert with that WWE "Future Endeavours" line? lolol
@@MachtPlaysyup 😂😂
@@MachtPlays Not a clue about wwe! Never watched it!!
Hoonagin felt strange without Danger Dan.
Then felt kinda lost without Ken.
Now, with all 3 of you gone, it'll never be the same. I wish you nothing but luck brother.😊
you hit it on the spot brotha. and herts earned a fan and supporter in all of us I'm sure. if he keeps up the streaming/UA-cam. possibly look into other investments such as real estate he'll be completely fine on his own
Hoonigan hasn’t been worth watching for the last 2 years
Hope suppy doesnt leave. I miss nads and dan man og hoonigan days were the shit

@@johnnymartinez478truth, they put out some good stuff here and there but as a consistent watch, they lost my attention a while ago
Hert, I feel you. Im stepping out of my career for the last 22yrs and completely changing career fields. I spent the last 18 yrs having to place my job over my family and can relate on spending the next period focusing on my family.
I look forward to following your next adventure!
You're the reason I started watching Hoonigan. Your style, your cars and specially your humor. Good luck on your next projects Hert, God bless bro.
I'm sorry, didn't have ownership!? I was sad at first, but my boy is a free agent now. I want Hert to have ownership and huge success and be able to create a dynasty for his son. You are one of 3 faces that represent Hoonigan to me. Scotto. Ken. Hert. Know your worth King. (No Shade, I love Hoonigan)
Speaking of beard life. I remember when I met Elliott. He had a beard life sticker on his 944 and told me a guy named Hert made it. Like 13 years ago. Later we met when you were taking pictures for OMG drift. Crazy how far you’ve gone with all of this. Congrats on the next step!
My good man I’m happy you’re finding your path and are taking care of yourself and your family. Thank you for being a older brother to me wile you were here. I learned a lot from you and best of luck to you. I’ll see you in space cowboy ✊🏾
This is simply the evolution of a man. Couldn't be happier for you, man. Handling it with grace and zero drama is just a bonus and a testament to your character. Here for the long haul, BOIIIIII!
Why would there be drama?
Have you not seen like the billion other yt videos where guys leave their nests? I wasnt being speculative, just grateful.@@smplmher
Another Hoonigan legend farewell. I kinda suspected you had left. I think your timed departure was appropriate. The best of days will come to you yet Hert. And they will always love you at Hoonigan.
You were one of the main reasons I got so hooked on Hoonigan all those years ago. Thanks for the good vibes and content Hert.
You’re a big part of the reason we all loved hoonigan so much. Wishing you nothing but success
One thing I learned about life is that when it comes to guys (pre-family), we just want to have fun and be part of other people's projects and goals. As we grow older, wiser, and build a family, now you have a family to secure. And having fun and being part of another person's dream will not safely secure your family. Therefore, by nature, you want to build your own empire for you and your family, and have young, eager, enthusiasts help you build your empire for the next decade or so until they'll need to build their own. It's life's cycles. It's how we all thrive in life.
Much love big homie. 🙏
Well said my friend. We need more people like minded.
Most of the fans saw that coming. Stuff at hoonigan changes so much, you can´t expect much. Good luck to you Hert. You and the guys, were part of my morning entertainment during the years and reignited my love for cars.
You've always been a backbone for Hoonigan, the channel has not been the same without you, but every time a door closes another one opens up.......keep us entertained 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
i first saw hert in one of taylor rays videos years ago and ended up watching hoonigan because of him 7 years ago im stoked to see what the future holds for hert!
Reading the title Herts man.... sorry I had to. This is exciting!
Bazingaaaaaaa 😆
I cant say i didnt see it coming😭 an era finally came to an end
Unrivaled vibes for sure. But let's stay positive for the future for all parties!
Oh
sheeeeeiiitttt im here bro! lets get it!!!!!@@HertLife
Excited for this new adventure.
Cheering for you my friend!
You were the first person I hauled a car for and two weeks ago I started doing it full time. I am happy to have helped, it was a crazy experience 😂. Thank you for the shout out. It's been awesome to watch it all unfold. Best of luck going forward 🙏🏾
You're going to do right by your family because you are a straight up, no nonsense when it counts, likable winner of a person. I wish you nothing but success and will always make time for the Hert.
Thank you Hert, you will still have all of our support moving forward!
Dude. Standing here with chills hearing you talk about providing for your family. Hits so hard with me (and I'm sure many others as well). Thank YOU, Hert.
Pumped to see what the future holds for you man.
Man it’s crazy how I stumbled upon this. I’m going through the same process. Leaving a career this October is 10years for me. Had my son back in February. So I kno exactly how you feel. Working on my brand and making sure the fam is good. Much respect to you on your adventure. 🙏
Just interviewed for a new job in a completely different industry. It’ll be 10 years at my current employer in November, crazy to be leaving after a decade. These replies definitely are showing a made the right choice. Gotta do what’s right for you.
@@kmf1392 absolutely it’s all god’s plan. What he has and wants for you is for you. A lot of people are scared or fear that next step. But the man upstairs never let down. Walk by faith not by sight
This explains part of why Hoonigan has been so kind of off feeling for awhile now. You and soup were my favorites on the regular shows.
I wonder what’s really happening!
@@Watchmedome3017I have 0 insight. But two thoughts.
1. When Ken passed it could just be a lot to still be around Hoonigan, all the memories and all.
2. When Hoonigan sold some of the OG employees like Hurt felt shafted to not be compensated. He mentioned “I was not an owner when it was acquired” in this video even.
Ken is the only reason all of this happened.... It's a life changer game changer and Hoonigan will never be the same again!
@@ShredGarage yeah ken and brain are the only owners right? atleast on paper.. the other are employed only even if hert is there from the start and helped with making it wat it is...
Your speech about family hit me hard bro. Being a dad myself I feel that 100%. Love everything you do and I’m super excited to see what’s next.
I'm 33 and been in one single job for 19 years of my life and I'm hearing you out. Once my son was born all those views came to my mind. The future of our families is important
im proud of you. there aren’t a whole hell of a lot of people that look like me who are in my age group represented in this community, you’ve been such an inspiration, and i cant wait to see what’s next. mad love and all respect.
This.
Glad to see you just doing you man, you were my favorite personality over at hoonigan so I’m excited to see what the future has in store for you!
❤
Hero. You're my hero Hert. Not many people can have vision like you do, ever fewer believe in themselves enough to chase it. You are my hero.
The part about "the next ten years..." hits hard and I will be watching as you shift gears and take us with you where you go.
Sometimes you just get too big for your old undies. Can't wait to see what you do brother. So awesome to see how far you've come, and we all know you're not even half way there.
Man hearing about why you chose to leave and what you wanna pursue, I find it awesome to hear you are doing it for your family. I hope your future is bright and Ill pray for your success in the future. Keep up the awesome stuff you do Hert.
T pain must've cut him a big check & offered him ownership into a automotive company
You are the reason I was drawn to The Hoonigans in the first place. Seeing you showed me that each of my goals are achievable. Glad to see you trying to do your own thing looking forward to more content
Love to hear it!!!
Pushing passed your comfort zone is what makes us grow! Goodluck with the new venture and love the collection!
HERT, WE ALL LOVE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU.
YOU WERE A HUGE PART OF HOONIGAN, BUT WE LOVE YOU AS YOUR OWN PERSON.
PLEASE GET WHAT YOU NEED.
ONLY LOVE TO A REAL MAN
I love how hoonigan seemed to try to fresh prince / Aunt viv it, Like nobody would notice that's a completely different chonky black dude. Good luck for the future dude!
Gary is hert on a budget
@@Sunshinehuricane a Temu budget
Gary is also great and brings his own flavor to hoonigan
Gary has been in and out of hoonigan videos for a few years.
Racist much?
DAMN! Can't wait to see where you go from here family🙏🏽
I watched your have a beer with Hert back in the day and that was when I knew you sir were a legend. I appreciate everything you've done with them and I'm a Hert fan for life. Respect
Been a blast watching the journey. Excited for the future and what's the come. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you!
Really gonna miss seeing you on Hoonigan. Never gonna be the same without you, but good on you for doing what you need to do. Hopefully you're all still on good terms and we get some Hertz cameos sometime down the road. All the best Hertz, you deserve nothing but.
Those days at Sonoma were legendary. Always just a normal dude hanging and banging like the rest of us. Good times with good people. Legendary
You've been a huge inspiration! Not to just me, but big people like LZ, Oakes, but so so many of us! I'm so glad your looking forward, family is everything! I have noticed personally Hoonigan hasn't felt the same since Ken passing, and death does change a family, he would be so proud of you! Cannot wait to see what life has in store for you ❤❤❤
I just wanna say from one brown Florida boy to another, thank you Hert for representing so hard and letting your energy shine as an inspiration for us all. I remember when it was just you. And then Simba. And now theres more of us in the scene. But thank you for being such a trailblazer and also leading by example to take ownership of your legacy. Im excited to see what this next era of hertlife has in store. Im off to buy that hood flying shirt now 😅
What do you mean by “more of us”? Funny how minorities don’t want people to see color, but then constantly talk about color. Why can’t this man just be a man? 🤦♂️
What’s brown gotta do with it?
He aint brown numnuts
@@frank12777 the guy was just saying that you don’t see a lot of black guys or people of color per se in the tuner space once upon a time as you do now calm down it’s not that serious the message wasn’t for you it was for him.
@@frank12777my people can be strange sometimes
Thank you Hert, been watching you and Hoonigan for these last 10+ years and You really made everything you did have your own flair your own way of doing it and thats something we could all appreciate. Good luck to you on all your future endeavors!
You’re gonna be missed at Hoonigan for sure… praying all the success in all of your future endeavors Hert.
Appreciate that!
@@HertLife Will you still drop in to Hoonigan from time to time? You will always be on your own path, however paths always cross from time to time!
Everyone breaks stuff, you just do it in the most dramatic ways possible and it almost always looks f@#ken spectacular !!
It’s a dark today🚬. Hert was one of the reasons that I got into cars and into watching hoonigan. All bc of his twerkstallion.
He didn’t die, he’s making his own thing happen. Bro was the best part of every hoonigan video, and now we get that straight to the vein with content from hert himself
Much love!
twerkstallion existed before hoonigan, and it will live after .
The twerkstallion and its problematic hood brings back so much memories 😂
I understand what you mean by life changes when you start to build a family. 100% respect that
Missed opportunity not making you a part owner. You have such a magnetic personality, and truly seem like a kind and genuine dude. Excited to follow you into your new ventures!
Yo Hert! I met you at FD ATL in 2014! You were so awesome and to be honest Hoonigan has gone downhill. You, Jon, and Danger Dan were awesome! DT was an amazing era! Best wishes to you and your family & progression in your career!
Takes alot of courage to do what you did. You should be beyond proud of yourself aswell as your family, we can all tell that you're gonna be an amazing father, an amazing friend and husband. Keep your head up g, you're doing what most people won't.
Life is drama and how we respond to it makes all the difference.
More importantly, Life is a gift, even with the worst of days.
We either roll through and overcome it or we give up and it overcomes us.
Love you Hert, keep being the person you are.
Hate to see you leave, but love to watch you go on and continue to do great things
Thank you!
Thank you for taking the job the way you did at Hoonigan and becoming one of the most known, loved and legendary around the brand.. Hope everything works out in the future and plans go as planned. We will be here to support it all 💪❤
I’m french and looking hoonigan video since many years , for me you were my favourite in the team , I like your enthusiasm about cars and the way you talk always make me smiling ! Glad you go for new adventures with your own enterprise and wich you the best Hert !
@HertLife• just wanted to let you know you’ve been a major inspiration to me• Watching how you came up at hoonigan to the Man you are today• And watching your family grow, and who you’re becoming as a man as a black man out here in this world, you are a major inspiration keep on pushing, brother, you are destined for greatness
Can’t wait to see what you got in store, I’m here to support whatever you do 💪🏽
You were the best part of hoonigan and the reason I started watching. You always have such a good positive energy and you are an amazing role model for the younger generation of car enthusiasts. Family comes first and you’re making the right moves toward the future.
you helped make Hoonigan iconic, you will always be an OG hoonigan to so many people. I think that will help you in whatever you do next, best of luck in the future.
Man this is crazy.. I think everyone can agree how massively important you were for Hoonigan and their image
Massive respect on putting the moves for the better of your fam and their future, love to see it man
wishing u the best for your future projects o7
Just catching this,,, seems so surreal after Ken’s passing, I know there was a lot behind the scenes with wheel pros and then Ken’s passing then to see DDE take over the Burn Yard is truly surreal!! DDE was truly inspired by KB and hopefully the continue the legacy of the Burn Yard and the Hoonigan legacy
As someone who's getting ready for his first child, I fully respect your reasons man 🙏
"I want these next 10 years to matter for my family" is something I'll always think about now
the only man that makes me believe in humanity. After so long it feels natural for you to have your own lane apart from Hoonigan. Happy to see you with everything you have because you deserve it.
Y’all need to start ur own show and bring it back to how it used to be! Y’all will be huge in a couple months
13 years ago I left a secure job with healthcare and 401k to start my own business. It’s the best choice I’ve ever made. Cheers to the next phase 🍻
A sad ending, for a new beginning but I’m happy for all of y’all. Wish I didn’t miss so much of the hoonigan era.. it’ll nvr be the same in today’s time
Aways loved you brother, you are such an icon. Even without all the cars, your personality is unmatched
Sadly hoonigan is not the same without you it lost their spark...hope you keep your head up and grow your own content I'll be following you!!
Dawg Ken and Hert got me into hoonigan. Ken with his hoonicorn and hert with the twerkstallion. Like u guys took 2 of my favorites cars lost of all time, and took it to another level that I’ve never seen. So Rest in Peace to Ken🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. Hert may you go out and find Whatchu lookin for dawg I wish you the best fr fr!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks for letting us know what's up and I'm happy to see you doing your and still out here doing it I'll be waiting
Love you hert, we will follow you wherever you go! 🎉
I miss the early days of hoonigan youtube, where you all used to have fun in parking lot, doing the man line and jumping shitty cars and making shartkart and all that kind of stuff. This vs That doesnt really do it for me, but the goofing off in hte parking lot with friends did.
Generational wealth brother 💙. Proud of you we will all support you always, your genuine and have done so much for all us teenager that dreamed to have cars. And now most of us have them and grow with you. Keep it up !!!
Hert I respect you more as a Man Husband and Father for putting your family first and doing what’s best for them to and not just yourself. MAD RESPECT ✊
Don’t want to blow smoke, but honestly you were the reason I kept watching Hoonigan. Glad to hear you decided to look out for yourself and your family, all the best for the future.
Wishing you all the best on your new endeavors!
Another one of my faves moved on. I know you'll keep the trend of not just moving out, but moving up. First Hoonigan video I ever watched was about the Twerkstallion. I'm grateful you introduced me to the hoonmies, I'm grateful for another channel to support in yours 🙏 Always have been and always will be an inspiration to ya girl 💜
Ah, here's Hert! Congrats to moving onward and upward. I Liked and subscribed. Popcorn ready. Hert needs his own channel. He has that energy where he needs his own thing.
I’m so glad that you made this video to show everyone what a great dad you are, and to inspire others to support their families and follow their dreams. I do t even like drifting, I’m not a fan of imports, I love your videos and will continue to follow, great job, all the best luck!
