If you've spent any time at all on the bay you'd have seen the exact same kind of dangers bullshit with personal watercraft
But you just came up with the silliest thing you could

There's not nearly as much fun in that. Part of the appeal is that it's dangerous outlaw tough guy stuff.
I'm an adult and there's guys in every group who push the limits and do dumb shit on an otherwise legal ride. Speeding and wheelies and weaving
Let em do it in the dirt and make them wear all the gear and do badass outlaw stuff somewhere there's no civilians and an ambulance nearby
It couldn't hurt
I'm really passionate about this idea because this 100% could have been me and will probably be my kids if I don't give them an outlet
I have a shitty beater bike I let the kids at work learn on in the parking lot at work. I bet all of them go and do something retarded when they get their own bike, have a bad accident like all of us do, and then get a full dresser old man bike when it's out of their system

Is there some country that young men don't do stupid, dangerous shit because an adrenaline rush feels good and their underdeveloped minds know they're invincible?
We are one of the few states without any outlet of this type whatsoever.
The guys getting hurt riding are the same guys getting rescued when they dump personal water craft like sea doos. If they had money theyd be sky diving. If they felt particularly patriotic they'd be marines.
This is a common thread among young people and men in particular and they need an outlet for it. If there's not a safe way to chase this feeling they'll do it in unsafe ways, just like everywhere in the world since the beginning of humanity
If not riding then climbing, or surfing, or the service, or fighting, or football, or drugs, or skiing, or banging.
The difference is the dangerous shit white kids do is OK but the dangerous shit black kids do is terrible. If you're white you go to yawgoo if you're brown you ride the streets.

Yes that's exactly what I'm talking about! We don't have a mx track or anything for young men living in a difficult time who are looking for a dopamine and adrenaline rush
It's not like you'll ever stop young men from doing dangerous stupid shit so maybe we don't have to be the only state where you can't do a little off roading on a bike
If there was a place where you could ride but HAD to wear a helmet and back armor then fewer people would be hurt and killed. Including the people who catch an ass whooping because they happened to be driving their car near these kids
There's no downside and it's stupid that it's not available

Like helmets save lives, and all the gear all the time atgatt. Dress for the slide not for the ride. All that stuff that's obvious now that I'm pushing 50 but was never considered or just corny when I was 20. Nobody wore a helmet in the 90s.
OK now that the platitudes are out of the way, part of the problem is that if kids wants to ride there's no place where they can do it. It would help. One less young man riding in the street could be the difference between a life lost and a life lived

It sucks there's nowhere for these kids to ride in RI. We used to take ours to the sand dunes. If I was 20 and living in the city I'd probably be riding the streets too
Edit
None of you people want any kind of solution, you're just glad to see another couple of dead black kids
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. "no, not rip they deserved it"
You're disgusting

I didn't say you're a republican. I said republicans say these things.
You asked two questions. "what's offensive about this?" I answered it specifically and directly.
Your second question "what about Satanists" I also answered specifically and directly

Yeah it's specifically said that drag queens are a danger to children because they're pedophiles.
Also trans people
Republicans accuse all queer people of being pedophiles all the time
And yes, that's a stupid question. This is America we have freedom of religion

OK well if the judge gets the blame when you get it wrong why do you get to brag about an 80% conviction rate?

Yeah you'd be a shit plumber and nothing you installed would work right 😂
Pipefitters aren't plumbers in the same way that cops aren't decent people. Maybe there's a little overlap but for 95% of the people out there you're either one or the other

It took me 4,000 hours ojt to become a pipefitter plus all the schooling.
I had to take a test to get a license and if I fuck up real bad I lose the right to hold a license
People want cops held to that standard

Yeah it is. It's crazy how good they are. They send out a team and pull samples up the river til they find the storm drain it came from, then pull samples from every drain that feeds it, then soil and surface samples til they find the house or business it came from
If it's a homeowner with a leaking tank they'll pay for it and insurance won't cover it. If it's a business they'll likely lose their insurance
