Because having somewhere to ride the dirt bikes is not the reason they are a problem. It’s the culture surrounding the reasons the dirtbikes exist, and they don’t exist to compete in the X games.

So you don’t like the people riding them and their “culture.”

Yeah, it's the person who has a problem with an activity "because of the culture."

Idk what you wanna hear fam. The culture of the dirt bikes in our city is one of gangs and kids without families to support them.

Do I wish that wasn’t the case? Yes, but giving these kids a dirt bike track wouldn’t solve the problem of systematic racism and lack of opportunity for these people.

But go ahead, keep thinking I’m racist, have a great day!

The same thing exists in cities all over the country. It's not exclusive to Baltimore. And I don't really know or give half a fuck what you call yourself, but claiming that because a kid rides a dirt bike s/he is part of a gang and doesn't have a family to support them is one dumb generalization. These guys ride past my block all the time. I see white dudes riding with them and older dudes riding along with the teens and 20-something’s. They seem like they’re having fun.

People don't ride dirt bikes around town because they lack opportunity any more so than people street race cars because of lack of opportunity. You're just jonesing to shit on someone doing something you dislike.

Bruh I can hear you mouth breathing from here, maybe call your cousin for a date night or go clean one of your guns. Gang doesn’t mean violent criminal, it does however mean association of people.

I didn’t say a thing about skin color, however like all gangs or groups or squads, the culture of dirt bikes in baltimore is a family that these people lean on the exact same way hells angels, the crips, knights of Columbus, the local intramural sports teams,or kappa alpha sorority, because they want to belong to something. I find the structure of all of the organizations very beneficial to mental psychology, even if the actions of the orgs are not necessarily lawful.

Fact is, dirt bikes in the city, whether ridden by perfect citizens or not, are a nuisance. This is very similar to evenings on ritchie highway is a shithole filled with tuners, a lot of city is a shithole with 12 o clock boys, and that’s why anyone with a brain can accept that it is what it is, but you’d rather tell me I’m racist than look at something from outside your tiny ignorant lenses. Good luck out there my friend, life isn’t gonna get any easier for your grumpy ass if you don’t step off from your high horse a bit.

If you actually ever got off your high horse, you’d realize you’ve been riding a donkey your whole life claiming you’re on a Clydesdale.
