Ride what you want! If you try to force content with the bmx you won’t have as much fun. More fun= better content and happier life for everybody. Love your videos bro keep it up!
Dropper posts are awesome! Having your seat dropped really helps on anything downhill. Stairs, hill bombs, even getting on and off the bike. Bring the seat up when climbing or flat pedaling. Game changer
@@HoloScope you have never ridden a mountain bike and It shows. Its beyond your mental comprehension because you have never been in a situation where a dropper post would be beneficial. You can just get off your bike mid trail, loose all your momentum to adjust your seat down or up. No disrespect btw.
Do what you enjoy John. Keep it interesting for yourself. You've proven yourself on BMX when you really didnt have to. Us long time supporters will be here no matter what. Be Happy
Tempered glass is put through heating and quickcooling process which strengthens its outer surface. When tempered glass breaks, it shatters into tons of tiny dull pieces due to the stress it is under.

Agreed. Self built bikes usually get the most saddle time for me. Or completely redoing a bike up, like I did with my fixed gear. Only factory parts are the headset and bottom bracket. Everything else has been swapped out. Haha
I'm sure others answered. But glass breaks that way it's safety glass so it doesn't break in jagged pieces and cut or stab people when an accident happens. Videos are great, thanks for the dedication. Enjoy them all, always feel like I'm riding with you just hanging out. To cool.
I personally like both, the Dirt Jumper and The Bmx bike, what makes theses videos nice is that I can see a part of the world I've never seen before, even if its just you doing tricks or riding around trying to find spots to do the tricks, I think its awesome, to see everyday life.
It isn't all about the bike or what do on the bike man. Ride what you want to ride. Your videos and channel are si much more then that. Respect bro! Much love from Canada!
That situation with pallet felt sketch. I'd want to help too but I was getting nervous for you as soon as went back to look. It felt like you were in a bad corner and I was waiting for people to jump out, it sucks you have to thing about stuff like that. Also the dropper posts are awesome, I just started using one a few months ago after hearing about them for year. Changed my life when I was going to standing positions for doing climbs and stuff, definitely worth it.
THANK YOU John for posting so frequently and having the motivation to post. And more... for being yourself you’ve allowed me to really do what I love and I appreciate you for that 🙌🏾 Pls keep it uppp 🥺❤️
John last time I told you can your ride at north Hollywood park (the side in front of those stairs you were gonna back to) but you actually went to the park which i used to take soccer practice in. This just makes me look forward to keep watching your videos man it's just crazy how much north hollywood and LA has changed after all these years. Thank you for the videos
Looks so nice in the sun..I'm old school BMX seventies eighties..so it's cool..I'm on the other side of the world..on a Island.. jersey channel Islands UK..so watching this is a learning curve.. never been over to USA..it's brilliant..good luck buddy 😜👍
@@justinbogart278 not true. if you use tubeless ready rims matched with tubeless tires you can run your psi at whatever you want as long as it is within the max psi stated on the tire. with that said if you use either non tubeless rims or non tubeless tires or even both your gonna run into problems where you loose air at higher psi
@@jackdonovan9263 maybe I've never had a perfect seal on mine but tubeless tires are known for having to be reinflated occasionally and heavy impacts with little suspension will definitely increase the leakage
Its a safety measure for when u in a car accidents the glass shattters so u dont cut yourself, like when a house window breaks it breaks in shards and very sharp edges. Also ride what u want son as long as u record it!🤜✌
Dropper post would only be beneficial if you find yourself wanting to change seat heights for cruising vs crushing some tricks within a single ride. If you don't mind your seat in one place there is no reason to get one.
Agreed. Another option would just use a quick release skewer on the seat post clamp. Set to trick height... blast out some tricks. When done raise it back up... however the dropper is much easier...
get a short drop manual dropper post the ones with the lever under the seat..( the kind without the cable), that way you can drop it low when youre doing a session, so the seat is out of the way ( wont snag your shorts or knock your junk)... and then raise it up so its more comfortable peddle position. also you can run a longer brake cable , so it wraps around the top of the headtube a couple times for bar spins / tail whips. cool vid man!
since you've been riding the dirt jumper a lot and enjoy it you should try wheeling more. I think it would be dope asf to see you in the bikelife scene
first of all , im rally happy dat u drop video every week , its kinda blessing , second thing dat i really wanna say is dat i miss the videos like old ones , remember when u hopin out with boys ? i mean like when u jumped on a concert stage , its was lot of fun , i really like to see dat bmx on dat way u feel me ? but for like this ridings around the LA and exploring i love this dirt jumper ! btw where is yo web site hicks fam we still need those grips n hats !!!!!!
No it was not. That is a Homeless area. The fence he was riding by was actually the fence to the new tiny homes they built. She wanted the pallet to build her hobo shack.
Yoooo❤️! I remember you put your camera on the ground filming your bmx tricks, so maybe you can do it with the dirt jumper, so we can see like from the 3rd person view?
once again another awesome video! I feel like people want the bmx so much because maybe that's what you started off your channel with so maybe your fan base is built more off the bmx tricks etc. but none the less the dirt jumper is still a fun bike to see being ridden.
I'm here a but late well a day late but hey man here for the ride 😎👍🏽 I dont care what you ride cause I'm here for the view and seeing where you go dude👍🏽
Bro just ride it’s doesn’t matter what you ride just keep yourself entertained don’t burn yourself out again for the content you started doing for yourself and for others to see what you see day to day keep it that way your still the goat
I get you want to make us happy but don’t force yourself out of comfort . If that’s where you are comfortable right now stay to it . Especially if you are enjoying it man . We all love the Bmx videos to see the 360s , half cabs and so on . I enjoy what your doing now . I like seeing your area. I like seeing LA and so on . Gives me a refresh of what is around me and gives me a chance to see a different life style . Keep up what your doing man !
That tempered glass is what we call safety glass. It busts like that so there's not big chunks. Keep in mind if it was a big chunk it would probably cut somebody pretty bad or kill them
I think the dirt jumper is better suited for urban riding. Btw, the white van to your left as you were talking to the"pallet lady" looked a little suspicious to me, but I guess I'm paranoid too 😆 Helmet yes , helmet cam no. The constant quick head turns with helmet cams is usually makes it difficult to watch footage. Really cool exploration videos.
Auto glass is tempered. The first cars used regular plate glass which as you know produces sharp shards which caused massive injuries in auto accidents. The tempered glass mitigates those types of injuries.
A little late today, work and gym got me busy, but you know I had to drop in to smeash that like button and spread some love on another John Hicks dirt jumper video. Keep it up man, thoroughly enjoying the content 👌
Dropper post is the bomb . Drop it when you wanna do jumps and downhill, gets well outta the way and then jus push a button then boom back up the normal height to not fuck up your knees when biking fast.
Answer to your car glass question, it’s called tempered safety glass. Instead of breaking into big sharp shards and tiny shards it breaks into little chunks which are less sharp and less likely to injure you in case of glass flying at your face or body in an accident or something or someone smashes it
haha man dont feel peer pressured to ride bmx you have hundreds of videos of gnarly bmx stuff and unless you feel super compelled ior wanna do it for yourself just have fun with the cruising. I enjoy this man you seem happy and having fun, i dont wanna watch you ride if your not feeling it.
Dropper post is good for getting the seat out of the way for steep descents, drops or jumps for bikes where the seat is high up for pedal efficiency. Keeps the bike pedal efficient and able to do extreme riding. Also I like dropping the seat down when I get to a stop where I can stay on the seat and legs touching the ground.
Always love it when you upload brother! Keep up the good work! The glass breaking into squares when it gets broken, is because it is safety glass. Created to not cut people when it flies into their face etc.
I'm so glad you didn't fall for that scam that's exactly what was happening I absolutely love watching your videos I've been a fan since day one stay safe get that helmet cam going it's going to be awesome stay with the dirt jumper

Agree, and if he doesn't want the cable clutter on the bars they do make wireless dropper post.
I still don't understand dropper posts. I can easily get off my bike and adjust the twisty that holds the seatpost
@@HoloScope you have never ridden a mountain bike and It shows. Its beyond your mental comprehension because you have never been in a situation where a dropper post would be beneficial. You can just get off your bike mid trail, loose all your momentum to adjust your seat down or up. No disrespect btw.
@@TubeSteakTaco I own two mountain bikes and ride them all the time. This guy doesn't need it because he's not doing trails ☺️
best option would be the lever actuated dropper, no cable just a tiny lever under the seat.
Do what you enjoy John. Keep it interesting for yourself. You've proven yourself on BMX when you really didnt have to. Us long time supporters will be here no matter what. Be Happy
Ride whatever you enjoy more (dirt jumper) because that's gonna produce the best content. Happy Johnny = smooth ridin. 🤙

It's done that way purposely for safety reasons.
@@titaniumismagical8643 yep its designed to break that way to be less dangerous in a crash
stops having large pieces of sharp glass that can rip the persons face, arms to shreds.
You smart
John the cone tricks are awesome, I'm so glad you didn't fall for that bike theft attempt! I love the dirt jumper John. You built it and that's cool.

The glass is tempered for strength and safety, in an accident little pieces hurt less than long sharp pieces.
I don't mind either of the bikes you're riding, use whatever you feel is best! We are watching either way. Keep it up!

Doing tricks in the dirt jumper literally this is your best video on the dirt jumper
10:47 The glass is a type of safety glass that breaks into little pieces instead of jagged chunks to reduce the risk in injury in an accident.
My weekly hicks. Feels good
Love the videos, you should check out tubeless tires and wheels. No more flats or at least carry a spare tube and a couple CO2 carts.
I’ve been tryin to tell him tubeless tires will fix all his worries/problems
They don't hold high PSI as well which is why I assume most dirt jumper don't go tubeless
@@justinbogart278 not true. if you use tubeless ready rims matched with tubeless tires you can run your psi at whatever you want as long as it is within the max psi stated on the tire. with that said if you use either non tubeless rims or non tubeless tires or even both your gonna run into problems where you loose air at higher psi
as dis man said go tubeless. flat tires are a worry of da past

Wow so awesome Mr John Hicks! Very Brave. 🥰🌹😍
Just seeing you ride around and talk about stuff is so entertaining to me that’s why I watch you
Its a safety measure for when u in a car accidents the glass shattters so u dont cut yourself, like when a house window breaks it breaks in shards and very sharp edges. Also ride what u want son as long as u record it!🤜✌
that manual game strong asf. Id like to see more of that. Really good content man keep it up.
Sick video! Love the dirt jumper! It would be sick to see you hit more skatepark style things.
Quality was incredible this video, stay with these settings! 🔥
2160p P0W! Thats superHD and full screen all the way, you're top of your game my man.
That dropper post does come in clutch bro you get the seat out of the way when hopping and landing
