SYDEWAYZ on CBC NEWS

[lvlitzi]

it's no good unless it's illegal just like graffiti what fun is it if your not doing 100 on the wrong side of the road people love to be seen doing illegal shit if i write my name on the wall and others see it i feel good if i lay down a bunch if tire streaks in the streets when i drive down the same street the next day and see them i get a high off it like if you do something wrong but if there was no one who really knew it was you that's hyphy mean's to me getting down and not caught lmao!

[JendrusZbojnik]

sydeshows and street racing belong in da streets. not on some track. theres not really a way to stop any of this...hehe

[1960raiders2009]

whats the song at 2:40?

[CrazyDave650]

to the mayor... if you don't want it on your streats, spending money reparing and sending out cops... then give them a place and time that they can do there thing... just leave them and send the cops and you will just get them to be more irresponsable! to the cops... the shmucks that do crimes here gang related or not will do it without the sideshow in some backally!

[CrazyDave650]

to the drivers and pedestrians... if you want to get respect you need to earn it, don't stand for people that are going to do any non vehicalular crimes, and i don't know how pridefull you are but leave it at home pride in the street is only going to start fights, but keep it spinning and out smart those retard cops

[JEXTEL]

fucK the policKe

[iRnoCracker]

22 year old girl, more like grown ass women she lived the average full life in oakland

[mattboy828]

lmao 1:32 white dude with a grill

[sydewayz]

The reason for trying to create a sanctioned event is to #1 - create an alternative to being in the streets, and #2 - Take the sideshow off the streets! Street racing is bad, but Nascar is fine right? Skateboarding in some areas is illegal - dunno why, but X-Games are fine. Why do some believe this does not apply to "us"?

[qup4menow]

agree mate in Australia we have venues twice a week were you pay your money and can race your cars,cali is loosin heaps of coin,an organised venue thats all you need and it creates a place of interest and something for these guys to get pumped for

[ApocalypseSEX0X0X]

@sydewayz i think every knows whats really going on.every one can quit acting like you dont know.

i cant even understand the unknowing of it all.the sidewalks are a little more safer in sydeway show

then the center ill admit. There dance culture added inn is like foot loose. They wont even want the same things in ten years from now so its going to revolve, in a better way i hope.

and i think it feels funner than it looks.

[NinjaDC5]

Yall need to grow up, shit.

[gripunit]

I think its funny(stupid) that he said that he doesn't want to see it go to legal areas at all. I don't get that.

[meadowview15block]

a did the mayor just say that it's his City.

you never had the city in the first place.

[jazzychohan]

Hey can someone tell me the names and singers of the songs at 1:38, 2:39, and 4:50 in the video?

[bluntefied]

i dont know the track at 1:38.

the track at 2:39 and 4:50 is the same-At The Sydeshow or Sydeways by coolio da unda dogg,album is 17 reasons

[PMC8320]

What the fuck these cops are talking about ? R they on drugs or drunk ?? Fuck tha police FTP - CHWDP

[ixxxenriquexxxi]

....(from dah txt bellow) aight?

street DRAG RACING!....itz illegal and had more counts of death then a side show, and did some citys do?... DRAG STRIPS HOMIE!!!

why can't we do the same shit for side show n' "turn it in the perfect sport"??

...(lil' xtra sumthin sumthin)

SINCE WHEN DAH FUCK DRIFTING BECAME A SPORT????....y can't swingin donut become one too???

[ixxxenriquexxxi]

WOW homie...fuckin police put it like iz the most dangerous thing in the world.

i don't wanna go racial but:

Whites start the racing...turned that shit in to "NASCAR", and if you add up how many deathz there been on the history of nascar it adds up WAY more then it's happened during a side show!.

what about Hunting?...u tellin me that is worse to swing donuts then an ARMED person is shooting animals??...and what is the majority of the people that hunt?? how bout what race?

[halo2xboxlive]

canada did this??? why did they do that is a suburb country lol

[knowurenemy87]

i dont get how u just gona stop a way of life too pople that have nothing ells the police just dont know cuz they white and never had an experiance like that!!

[VODKonan]

how da fuk do u go from spinnin donuts to raping and killing

[czarli]

its's been happening for over 20 years...

[sydewayz]

Ok, to losaltos6 and pjhooka... Our goal is to organize a SAFE & SANCTIONED EVENT in a properly zoned area for example, THE OAKLAND COLISEUM. No one ever said anything about trying to do this in an unsafe unorganized unrestricted manner.

Thanks for watching, but watch it again.

[PJHOOKA]

So let me see; Sideshow = like skateboarding; if you hit someone while on a skateboard, I wonder if it would hurt as much as a 3K+lb car? Skate parks were built by people who wanted to skate; why not sideshow in an area you built? Why depend on the streets that someone else built and can make your showing illegal? The lack of responsibility to the properties of others only make the group look like street thugs. Buck the trend, build something for the showing; only then you can compare to skating

[sydewayz]

@ PJHOOKA:

"Only then you can compare to skating"

lmao!

If only we allowed you to make all the rules!

...PS We have professional skate boarders out here trying to help make this work. Many have expressed their same struggles for acceptance as a professional sport and serious form of art. Since you are a well-known skater, Im sure you definitely speak for all skateboarders out there.

[PJHOOKA]

Syde-That's what I mean. Build your own and you can establish rules of the area within the bounds of the law. Whether skate, side, or race, do in place where there can be "control", no endangerment (big thing with the police), and "safe". I applaud anyone taking it to the man, but looking like a street thug is not the way to do it. I'll congratulate when it is off the streets and "controlled", non-public environment. They don't need anymore ammo . . .

[sydewayz]

You keep bringing this "street thug" thing into it? Where do you hear or see street thug about us?

[PJHOOKA]

Minor villain. I did witness some people (in the videos) participating in villainous acts, albeit miinor. C'mon Syde, let's face it, they were doing a show in an intersection; unlawful/illegal/endangerment. I may not agree with the police regarding suspicious activity, but I do agree that a show in an intersection is illegal and dangerous. Perception is bitch sometimes. Honestly, I hope you do find somewhere "controlled" to do a show. A show in the (public) streets is just lunacy . . .

[mattlambrecht]

whats that dumb legal sideshows shit about, thats the fucking point its not supposed to be legal, neither is thizzin, hustlin or any of that shit. this shit would be pointless if it was legal. its not illegal to rent out a venue to have a car show doin donuts n shit like that. u could pull it off easy, but who wants to do that shit? its supposed to be a bunch of thizzed out motherfuckers swangin shit n runnin from cops dummin out. the people trying to justify it crack me up.

[sydewayz]

You obviously have no clue of what a sideshow is about.

[EastBayStuntN]

those participants have good points but the officials have greater ones.

[mattlambrecht]

its meant to be the participants AGAINST the officials. anyone tryin to justify is just like a drug lobby. just like medical nug down here in so cal how many people really need that shit for glaucoma? fuck that we get a card from the doctor n slang the fuck outta that shit. till the fuckin DEA shut most of em down fuckin bitches. k im gettin off topic but u get my point

[crazycrowd818]

anything that a city can't profit from will always be banned...street racing, car hopping, drifting and something so simple like just cruising will be against the law...so you go out and do it anyway...and if they do give everyone a place to go do any of that shit guess what?

you gotta pay

[Yellowberry30]

In a way the OPD dont want the sideshows to stop or A&B tow cause that is thier bread and butter and sydeways is right aint nuthin but inexperienced kid out there and that is why it has gotten so dangerous cause they are young and dumb!

[poppimple]

I am really glad I brought the DVD it was totally worth it.

[poppimple]

Alright I seen the DVD and I am impressed. It's a VERY GOOD DVD movie but next time show more police lol. It's still a GOOOOOD VIDEO!!!

[lildamion1]

fuck the police we keep on haven sideshows

[mattlambrecht]

exactly

[poppimple]

That mother fucker is a fool. There is no fucking away the city woould issue permits or any types of license for these types of gangster shows. Think outside the box. if you wanna do sydeshowz, buy private property like a ranch or a large parking lot and you can have all the fun you want. In the mean time, shit like this is what causes problems here in the city of Oakland and it promotes more drama and bullshit.

[sydewayz]

We've already successfully had 4 car events last year and are expecting to even more this year. All with out as much as a single complaint or incident. Thanks for your opinion.

[Yellowberry30]

Well that is good cause these kids messed it up for everybody. Keep doing what you doing.

[mattlambrecht]

of course u were able to capitalize off of a trend, n im not hatin on ur hustle, but he said to do what ur doin. using private property to organize it n shit, which is chill tryin to make money, but thats not real goin dumb its supposed to be illegal just like slangin, imagine if blow was legal no one would make money on it but huge companies. real shit has to be illegal thats the fuckin game bro. just like comin out the club 3 AM on thizz percin swangin ur shit n the intersection

[sydewayz]

Sideshows are not about dope fiends. Sorry dude. What ever it was you were were at... it was not a sideshow.

[losaltos6]

O comeon thats bull shit, you got a ton gangsters all in one intersection and your telling me theres not an ounce of illegal substance, can you prove this, bull i street race in sunnyvale and i can tell you a quarter of the people there are smoking somthing illegal and thats a reguler street race, not that many gangsters. Now i can only imagine OAKLAND.

[NsOakland6]

You gotta do a new one man. Compare the Old Original SideShow to the NEW Hyphy Version. PLLEEEAAASSEEE!!! Show these young retards the difference and that what they do-n out there now is not no SideShow and they given the Game 2 black eyes and some broken ribs. Also show who is REALLY in attendace now a days, you know what i'm talkin about.

[sydewayz]

I tire myself trying to explain it to people sometimes! I'm gonna upload the perfect clip to show people what it is tonight!

[NsOakland6]

lol fa sho, hit me with a reply or link to my inbox when it gets up!

[jamaldree]

thnx mehn , im searching it right now

thizz or die

[jamaldree]

whats the song at 1.35 til 1.44 please hook me up with the artist , that song isBANGIN

!!

[sydewayz]

Thats a song called "The Sideshow" that came from an Oakland compilation called 510. I think you can find it through WeeSeed Records.

Artist named DeeBo, Cali Pooh & Dividends

[tgrote]

we go dummy jus like this in iowa

[ilovethinkdecks]

damn that goes hella hard, the guy under me needs to get the sand out of his vagina, and realize that it goes hella hard, and that it starts up in the middle of the intersection out of nowhere makes it even better.

[stupidbuthey]

wow.  ghetto drifting.

Why don't y'all get organized and actually get an event going at the stadium? Asian teenagers have gotten it done years ago.

[sydewayz]

Was that the best you can do? C'mon, i'm sure you make a better response than that!

[stupidbuthey]

No, I really can't. I don't care enough. You guys are pretty dumb for doing it in intersections. When the cops come and you guys try to run away, I'm sure it's dangerous for everyone spectating. Organize and get an event put together.

[sydewayz]

You obviously didnt pay any attention to the clip

[stupidbuthey]

No, I actually watched most of it. Is there actually a good reason it hasn't been done yet, or are y'all too ghetto to figure something out.

[sydewayz]

Sure kid

[hustlez]

the danger is the excitment, if it was at a venue w/ tickets - only kids would come out, but the steets give it Raw/uncut

[sydewayz]

it's only kids out there now? I don't think we should have to risk your freedom and property for recreation. A&B tow and police pay checks are the only ones excited these days

[raiderzilla510]

It's a different Culture for sure.We do use parking lots,but alot easier to get boxed in, and cant always have the same place.Think of its like a CarRave, it can be any where anytime of the day.

Not to mention the shit that goes on during all that with the donuts.The shit is Like no Other experience.Hella Hoes,The Best Purple(WEED for you L 7's)in the World everywhere you turn.You just gotta Experience it to feel us.

[Troyc20]

This is sweet culture and i hope it makes it way to Iowa soon. All that drifting stuff is alright but sydeshows are more muscle related, thats what i like. I do agree it would be better in a parking lot but then comes those pesky trespassing laws.

[kingkong87m]

Give them a place to do it at.

[coupenasty]

give us space like them fuckin drifters .fuck pigs

[eastoaklandsblood]

FUCK DA POLICE,FUCK DA POLICE,FUCK EM

[CHiLDMiLiTaNT]

Im pretty sure that when you hear the sirens it alerts you that somethign bad is happening. Therefore you are more cautious with your actions. I don't think any department allows police chases without and sirens.

[CHiLDMiLiTaNT]

Sydeshowz are still goin' around. I know why the girl died. A police car came and started chasing the one that was swangin' without and lights/sirens. Therefore' a girl was crossin the street and got hit by the car running away. Though it is still some of the drivers fault most of it was because of the police officer.

[flipzide]

Hmm... personally I don't see what's so great about spinning around in what seems to be uncontrolled donuts surrounded by a bunch of spectators in an intersection, but whatever floats your boat. Keep doing your thing and keep it as safe as it can get. As for myself, I'll stick to drifting at the track.

Call me stupid, but has anyone up there considered using a large parking lot instead so you have more room to mess around?

[sydewayz]

We been putting up with hard-headed city officials who go out of their way not to work with us. We've been swingin like this since 1980's... No room for drifting out here unless you can do it over big ass pot holes, speed bumps or bumper to bumper traffic!

[halosux4life]

there ya go use a fucking parking lot not in the middle of a fucking intersection

[basedboy]

cuddie comin from a real nigga that been too one...its crackin, cops cant stop this shit cuddie...they might stop the suckas but real hood niggas is gonna swang regardless cutt, highsidin and look pazzied out for the respect braa...&ON THE TREAL CUTTT DONT GET UR SHIT MOLLYWOPPED OR STOMPED U WACKS AND LAMES!

*A REAL BAY AREA NIGGA!

FREE HUSALAH!

[fuckwitmeyoudie]

thats wat the bitch gets for just being a bitch

[powerplant024]

Tell THE COPS TO SHUT THE FUCK UPPPP

It's all about the getin Hyphy

Sign your name in the street

[MPotts52]

Ok, Yes its dangerous. Hell, deadly. But its a personal choice. I'd do it, I LOVE this stuff. I believe that if the city would be kind enough to dedicate a controlled area for this stuff exclusively, not only would it be a huge attraction for city people, but possibally tourists too. It would keep it off the streets, keep people "safer", and give us who love this stuff exactly what we'd hoped for.

[sweetntasty08]

*ESO*

on st.pat's nite peeps in east oakland was jus ghost ridin, goin dumb, n all dat it was all koo from wat i seen n heard. den da police came n dat was wen people got hurt. dey need to just leave us alone n let we do wat we wonna do. we can sydeshow all we want all i ask for is dat fo da peeps to be safe n not get hurt u feel me. dats all i wanted to say.

[doveski]

that was cool man, real fair look from canada, figure 8 n im out...

[maroz28boy]

Thaz was up we stay swangin every corna stayin sydewayz for dayz

[GaryBeezy11]

mannn, ive been in oakland since '70..in the early '80's when the sideshow started when the san leandro skating rink let out...bottom line is that its not the side show it self but the dumb ass crazy people who WATCH the side show..if they organized the side show at coliseum you would have a freakin RIOT...you cannot deny that..show the part where they stomp on peoples cars...cant legalize as long as THAT element exist

[sydewayz]

"show the part where they stomp on peoples cars".... What part is that???

Sideshows are about clean cars, women, and fun! If people are stomping on cars... IT's NOT A SIDESHOW! And anyone who portrays the sideshow as being such, is misrepresenting what it's about.

[btnh16]

sideshows do include stompin on cars

please watch go dumb usa and educate yourself

[sydewayz]

You obviously didnt read the whole comment... Qote me on this! "And ANYONE who portrays the sideshow as being such, is MISREPRESENTING what it's about."

[btnh16]

i know

you are not misrepresenting sideshows when you stomp on cars, thats what you are suppose to do at sideshows

and sideshows are not about woman and clean cars. It;s about not givin a fuck when you are poppin pills and you just want to go dumb and hyphy

[forkedroad]

exactly... thats what i say to people but they dont understand..

[sydewayz]

stomping on cars? that what punks do.

No women... that's sounds gay.

No clean cars... no show.

Not givin' a fuck... no pride.

Poppin pills... Dope Fiend

Go dumb... self explanatory

Hyphy... thats for kids

[NsOakland6]

+10000

[rob2t3s]

go dumb in yo ride

[etch47]

Where's the "responsible element" of sydeshows? I work 3rd shift in Oakland. And constantly try to avoid you stomping on my car. You've no respect for honest people with 'real bizness maine'. IF you got a legitimate outlet for your 'sport' nobody will attend because most people that participate get-off on the chaos of disrupting the lives of honest hardworking people. You fooled yourself thinking this gives you power, all it does is make you look insane. You're an embarrassment to Oakland.

[sydewayz]

Im glad to know we'll always have your support!

[stangzallday]

thas how we do in north side cali bruh we swing that shit all day

[DriftersXWorld]

boy98767543,first of all u know nothing about tuners or drifting so why wont you just stfu about that.i think every single race has there fun thing to do....asians=drifting,blacks=s­ideshows!THIZZZ xD,white=the friggin X-games dude! lol

[boy98767543]

damn that guy who is talking about brake control and gas control sounds like one of those ricer guys ya know "ya gotta have that v-tak yo mad drifting in that civic" WHAT A BUNCH OF RETARDS

[604piru]

jeah!! 604 knows how to get hyphy!!

[duckonwall]

just to say rednecks have been doin this since cars were invented the only difference is in sydeshowz they have rap music and no moonshine...i love the sydeshow culture i hope it stays alive..

[GarretVolden]

why dont you try drifting its alot more fun and you dont stay in one spot.lol

[sydewayz]

no thanks, i like to look at the ladies... can't do that if you keep going down the block....

[sydewayz]

Seriously, we're not out in the country where you folk are from! We are in Metropolitan cities with fucked up streets and speedbumbs ever 20 yards! The only thing drifting through these streets would be a Suburban Truck!

[sydewayz]

Pay attention to the video, We don't "drift" and we certainly don't "skateboard"... those sports are allright, but not our type of recreation.

[mikecallahan]

anyone with a v6 and rear wheel drive can spin donuts. go back to selling drugs.

[mikecallahan]

MOST FUCKING RETARDED THING IVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! dude tryed to compare it to skateboarding then say that giving them a place to do it will keep it off the streets. but building skateparks for skateboarders only made the street scene in skateboarding blow up bigger than shit. this shit is stupid and illegal and dangerous and anyone caught doing it should be arrested and put in jail. that is comming from someone who has been skating for 10 years. end this shit.

[sydewayz]

...and since you have absolutely NO NAME in skateboarding, I'll take your comment very seriously!!!!

[brann1999]

I'd pay money to see you dumbshits try competitive drifting. Donuts!=drifting.

[euromk1s]

"responsible element" please. Dolt.

[Mike94se]

Please give back the stolen cars you niggerlips took. Thank you.

[specialEDward]

fuckin retards, how would you compare that to sports that are respected now?? they make skateparks for skate boarders and 99% of them still ilegally street skate.

there is no way that these nigs would be able to restrain themselves in a controlled version of this.

[sydewayz]

How come any time good comes from these streets... y'all want to "restrain" and "control" it??? What are you so scraed of? Are you actually worried that YOU might get hurt from US doing donuts??? Way from where ever the hell you're at? Tell the truth???

[specialEDward]

im in minneapolis. i don't want to restrain that shit, i think it's funny.  but i don't know if any aspect of what goes on there would be sanctioned anywhere.

[losaltos6]

I really think its irrisponsible and disrespectful to the people who live in those areas. People get hurt and even if they dident can you imagine what kind of shit storm insurense companys would have on this, also destroying city property is stupid, its your own community why would you leave ugly marks on the street, investors would really try to stay away from a city like that in fear that its a reckless city and there4 not wanting to risk there investments, Your only hurting your city wit this

[sydewayz]

@ losaltos: We already have insurance. That was the easiest part. We also have several locations that will host the event. The reason why we need this in or close to Oakland is so that in fact, people will no longer have an excuse to exhibition in residential neighborhoods anymore.

[fase22]

Do tha shiit!!! much luv from tha midwest Louisville,ky....Smoke it up...Fucc tha hata'z...

[BayPlaya510]

Stop all the racist comments. like sydewayz said show your face you coward to the first guy. I'm Afghan and I participate so what the fuck is all those black comments for. Sydeshowz is a culture in the oakland/bay area, ever since the late 80's with richie rich. I stay in San Lorenzo( san leandro area 510) and i alwayz hit the town cause there is something always going on - especially E.14th from slz to oak. STOP THE VIOLENCE - PEACE.

[sleepy650]

that how it goes down in the bay

[Heavysmoker2]

U guy are the bomb!!!!!!!! keep it like that!!!!!!

[neweraadam]

every one here is gay if they are tryin to disrespect this....id like to see u come out here and say some of that out here in the bay...

[francisfordcoppafeel]

thats pretty tight, but looks extremely dangerous. haha

[ddrhero]

ooooh. you nailed me. wow. i don't know what to say to that.

niggers like you give black people a bad name.

[sciontc510]

shut the fuck upppp with that N word shit. cracker!

[ddrhero]

YOU stfu. your name is scion TC.

you could name yourself watermelon flavored fried chicken and it's be less stereotypical.

and talk about calling the kettle a nigger. you just called me a cracker, therefore making it socalially acceptable for me to call you a nigger.

[Morpherex]

Stupid fucking niggers.

Take this fucking shit to an empty parking lot where you have permission or the fucking track.

I hope some random person just gets pissed off at you guys and plows all the bystanders, and the fuck doing the shit lame stunts.

[sydewayz]

I hope one day you have the courage enough to take the white sheet off your face and show yourself you fuckin' coward!

[Morpherex]

Just right now, you have proved your ignorance and stupidity. Nobody fucking gives a shit about you, and ever will. I hope local authorities sees you posting this shit up here, contacts youtube, and nabs your ass and throws your black ass in jail.

[NastySteve]

Morpherex your the only 1 on here that sounds ignorant with your racial comments. I my self am half black and live in the bay area where a lot of the shit u see comes from and i my self dont care for sideshows. Its not a black thing. there's plenty of other races out there too. and all of them are having a good time. i again i dont care for it but to each their own. On a side note. i hope 1 day u call the wrong person a nigger and beats you till your eyes swell shut you racist asshole.

[ddrhero]

i hope you have the courage to take the bandana off your face when you're robbing the local 7-11. sydewayzzzzzzzzzz is dumb as all hell. atleast do a reverse 180 or something intresting rather than jump up and down on the hood like you're still in the jungle. i'm sure the person who owns the car you stole won't be happy with all the fried chicken grease all over the interior and the tires smoked off.

[Yellowberry30]

You sound hella stupid you are going to HELL! you are the niger ignorant ass!!!!

[vermont2004]

keep that oakland smoke comming!
