Thanks for posting.

Very cool... I'm not going to say how many times, but I watched it more than once.

Cool video.
And The Santa Monica/Venice/ Marina Del Rey bike path has to be the greatest cruise in the world. I've ridden it on the classic Schwinns with the Cyclone Coasters crew, bombed it on the Spoiler with the Chopaderos, and done it solo just for kicks.
Some time it'd be great to get a Rat Rod Ride going down there. Anyone interested?

I have always said I will try to never criticize any bike but I just don't get scraper bikes.

If it keeps them off drugs and from robbing people...I think it's awesome. :wink:

I especially like the fact that you have to keep your grades up to be in the club.

Well in that case it's a good thing but I still just don't get the style.

Been to the shop, cool little place in Venice just off the beach path...at least I think he is still there...does a lot of fixies, has his own frame design and plays with the vintage stuff. Cool video...

I kinda cringed at the kid spray bombing the bike without taking parts off. Good videos though.

Liked the V-bars on the Schwinn

Ha Ha...yeah, I saw that too.

I'm not sure that it matters much with these bikes....love the footage with them all rolling together in a big line. :wink:

yup and it's cool those kids are trying to do creative things and be positve.

I love it. These kids are creating their own art form with bikes. It may be sloppy paint jobs, but the end result still looks cool rolling down the street together.

The best part about King and his scrapers is the positive attitude. Just like King says in his rap "Supportin' positive just like a boy should".

BRAVO!

I also dig the long wheelie that the Venice guy does even around curves.

Wow both cool videos.
I had never heard of scraper bikes before, that second video was way cool.
