A wild dirtbike chase was captured on camera in Los Angeles, showcasing the thrilling and sometimes reckless nature of street racing.
The video, obtained by ABC7, shows a group of dirtbikes and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) speeding down the Los Angeles streets, with riders performing stunts and tricks along the way.
The chase begins near the intersection of La Brea Avenue and Slauson Avenue, where a group of riders can be seen speeding down the street, weaving in and out of traffic and narrowly avoiding obstacles.
As the video progresses, the riders can be seen increasing their speed and performing more daring stunts, including jumps and wheelies. At one point, a rider even rolls the bike, but quickly recovers and continues riding.
Despite the reckless nature of the ride, the riders appear to be having a great time, laughing and high-fiving each other as they speed by.
The chase eventually makes its way to the freeway, where the riders can be seen racing alongside cars and trucks, forcing traffic to slow down and adapt to the unexpected roadblock.
Police were later called to the scene, but did not intervene, with a spokesperson saying that they were prioritizing public safety and focusing on preventing injuries or accidents.
The video has gone viral, with many viewers praising the riders for their skill and daring nature, while others have expressed concern for public safety. The video has also sparked debate over the legality of street racing, with some arguing that it is a form of entertainment, while others see it as a serious crime.
Regardless, one thing is clear: the video has left many viewers in awe of the thrill of dirtbike racing, and the riders who dare to take their skills to the streets.
