Yep, that's me lol

It was at Wellwood and RT109

I figure they were probably coming from the street races on Edison as I've seen them out there quite a bit

What do you drive on the beach?

well that shot was taken from the back of my friend's 1995 land rover discovery, it's green you've probably seen it haha... another friend is leasing a 4runner so i get to go in that sometimes

the only car i've taken out there (since no permits were checked at the entrance lol) was my parents' old MDX lease


didn't get stuck but the beach is certainly not where this "SUV" belongs... i think my crown vic bottomed out less

by next season though i intend to have beach capabilities, being able to go out there and chill is a cool luxury i'd like to be able to capitalize on

Good video. Thanks for posting. Those hooligan Bike-a-Thons occasionally happen. We had a massive one on the Washington D.C. Beltway a few years ago, where they were weaving in and out of traffic . Completely shut down the southbound lanes. Turned out to be a bunch of kids from the inner city, not an organized biker-gang per se.....the local news ran a story on it that night.

just wanted to say that’s a really nice shot of the mdx. was it taken from a drone as it appears taken from above reachable height.

and fishing poles sticking out of the moon roof are a nice touch.

well thank you... no drone though, I must've just held the phone up or been standing on something

and the rods are only there since going on that beach is "for fishing" and you need at least 1 rod per person, luckily my dad is all about fishing so finding a spare rod or two was never an issue lol

Looks like the driver 2 cars behind you may want your footage for an insurance claim.

Similar incidents in downtown Nashville in March of this year, including swarming all over Broad, with a policeman injured who was dragged by a biker on a three wheeler.
