And for the morons ITT who excuse the behavior/condone it.....no wonder DC continues to go down the toilet. These idiots actually do hurt, kill, and main people with their antics. Multiple people have been killed in Baltimore by them. Another girl got a brain hemorrhage after being run over by then in her way to a Beyonce concert. They also ganged up and threatened a family with kids in the car in NY. They are losers and a threat to public safety. What moron sits at home and really thinks that a giant pack of idiots going 60 mph on a dirt bike on city sidewalks is OK?


27 people killed on DC streets in 2019.

37 in 2020.

28 so far in 2021.

How many were killed by the people going around the city on dirt bikes and ATVs doing wheelies?

It’s not just the potential for accidents and death. They are noisy so of course people clear the street. But is it fair that they get to clear the street of other users through intimidation? And wake up little kids who may be sleeping in apartments? It’s just really inconsiderate.

This is so far from a public safety issue as to be laughable. We really do not need to start cracking down on this.

You either don’t have much common sense or you have only just moved to a city a week ago. This mess is a slippery slope.


I have lived in DC for 20 years. This is not a slippery slope. They are not hurting anyone or being violent. They are inconveniencing people and showing off, as young people do all the time. Cracking down on this is akin to cracking down on kids hanging out in big groups at malls and annoying the other shoppers. It’s very normal kid behavior and ultimately harmless.


Seems kind of different from "malls" insofar as driving and traffic are involved.

It might be a gender thing, but it’s hard to tell because no women ever do this stupid shit, so I don’t have a basis for comparison.


In the suburbs ATV ‘s go to fields.

Motorcycles on the highway always weave in and out dangerously.

Seen it multiple times. Do we have a local police force?


This is a cultural thing. You need to stop judging and deal with it.


Are you being sarcastic? It’s freaking dangerous.


Can you link an article about an accident?

It's small penis syndrome. This is one of the signs. Other signs include collecting guns, etc.

A few women do this stupid stuff but you're right, it's gender and also age related.

How many five-year-olds on bicycles have these groups killed on DC streets while popping wheelies?

Cracking down on this is akin to cracking down on kids hanging out in big groups at malls and annoying the other shoppers. It’s very normal kid behavior and ultimately harmless.


Hotdogging through the streets of the Nation’s Capital on unlicensed and (likely) uninsured off road vehicles is “normal kid behavior” -?



Hah! It's normal ADULT behavior in most of the country. They call it "four wheelin'".

It's not a contest. Enforce the existing laws.


By that logic, about 90% or more of DC are drivers (not to mention bicyclists, scooter riders, and pedestrians) need to be cracked down on.

But that's been the case for years (forever?). What is it about these guys that sets you off?
