That’s what I call making the “BEST” out of what you have been given.. I’m so glad to come across this video, because now I know there is hope for the ghetto’s still.
@zolorolo so…..much…..win :D
Pretty damn cool. It reminds me of that whole pop art craze.
lol at the kid who stumbled his way out in the beginning.
cool
We all know how this is going to end. One bad dude is gonna get into Scrapers and turn it into another gang.
I need this song….BADLY!!!
it bothers me how so many people are saying ‘we need more people like this in the world’ very true…. so why not do as ghandi said, and ‘be the change you want to see in the world’?
gotta get inspired first i guess…
apple computers man you had to say that at the end
who the hell would thumb this down?
@rettuhcs0z
pop art is not dead! it’s the best
WTF happened to Rocketboom?
Scraper bikes eh! That guy has the best idea ever, i hope that dream he has comes true! Its guys like him that should be making the news not all the bad things in the world. Gives me hope that the world isn’t going to hell in a hand basket !
lol at apple computers… I appreciate what you’re doing man but don’t waste your money on that.. get a real computer
Beautiful!
people love talking about the hardships theyve endured and witnessed.
Ride that bike, right back to Africa.
This is brilliant and uplifting. It such a great effort that succeeded and help stop people going off on more negative paths.
And the bikes are cool.
this video has a nigger in it. thumbs down
Da Bay
Great Video
awesome video. the crew that made this needs to do some documentary work.
so many stolen bikes..
Amazing. A fantastic idea which has come to life.
This guy deserves a medal!
Thanks Rocketboom.
@CheeseWizzMan too true
As a guy from East Oakland, at least 30% of those bikes are stolen.
omg !! what up with all that racism in people’s comments (some of them are funny if they are meant to be funny but some, just awful). And all that on a great edited and directed video, with a serious and beautiful topic.
Awesome video (or should I say documentary)! When I saw this was seven minutes long I had to push myself to watch it, but after a couple of minutes, I was hooked.
this makes me want to get a bike and customize it.
Great job on the editing!
Good job then … hope they stay clean … and off the gangs and mob shit.
I loved this. Gangster + constructive = king
Bay area represent. Oakland positive difference
This positivewas great. Really cool subject matter, it’s so nice to see people trying to make a difference to young kids lives.
That nigger probably stole all those bikes.
@halabalo195 hahah how else would he get them?
Everything in this video is stolen.
This is fucking beautiful.
That guy is giving so much and demanding nothing in return and helping kids to get out and away.
If i could i would give him the biggest hug ever
@nuggetzor
from who?
Allllllllllllllllllllll these bikes are nicked ;-P
homeboy needs to apply for the Pepsi Refesh grant. he’d be a shoe in.
Certainly a change for Humanwire. Something I never would have thought about before.
“see this shiny hat” xD
@halabalo195
Racist
This man is a legend
What’s the song in the beginning, I want to know:D
If anyone knows please help me.
I must say, those bikes are a nice piece of art expression.
oh great another gangsterwannabe’s…NEXT
Its people like these that are the only ones left to care for street kids.
+1
Wow. What a great role model.
Kinda cool, thumbs up.
Oh crap that’s my bike!
That was an awesome vid. I like to see more of this stuff on this channel!
@ROCKETBOOM: wich camera do you use to film this?
Awsome positive energy. I know wat me and the kids are doing on the weekend.
@HighKingTurgon i did exactly the same lol. good comment.
@OnlyDoniaUKnow =D
looks fun, but if I did this to my bike people would just look at me funny, I don’t want the attention lol
Love what this guy is doing… inspiring, positive, creative.
certainly the best rocketboom video to date
GANGSTA!
Interesting vid. best w/o sound so you don’t have to listen to the ghetto dribble.
@0nn3 I think the whole point is that these bikes were junked as in garbage and they turned then into something cool that they can use and be proud of.
i wanna know how many of those bikes he has stolen
@K0wnagExKush1ns This comment was made by an ignorant bag of dirt. Thumbs down!
Cool bikes, I hope RB didn’t send any of the girls down there to film because they will get raped.
Sweet video and organization. The filming is sweet too–what was it shot on/with?
I love it all except for the Apple computers he wants to use lol…. NOOOOO
@s0mojo Hypocrite much…?
scrape out please
THIS GUY, is why humanity stands a chance.
@K0wnagExKush1ns u racist cunt gtfo youtube you fag
WOW that must’ve taken some time stealing all those bikes!
Kinda cool, but the bikes were UGLY.
very good man =]
awesome, well done.
@TheTramsen dont let them nigglets grow up to be niggaz
@HighKingTurgon Indeed. Brilliance every day.
@127miles Racist.
nigga stole my bike
Nice vid. BUT THE BIKES ARE HORRIBLES!!
MAD MAD respect to Rocketboom for showing this, show these kids sometimes it aint all fun & games in life people are faced with all kinds of negative things but you gotta do whatever it takes to overcome those negative influences.
I just remembered my dad got a bike from Tony Hawk like a year ago but its broken so its just im our garage. I wish i could donate it especially because i dont bike :\
This is a perfect example of why we need the people in the situation to be the ones to come up with the solution. Now we need to do what we can to fund this young man and make sure he can accomplish his dream. How much can he do with a little money to open his shop? How many kids will he save?
Creativity is everywhere, be it the streets or the country, art is a beautiful thing
@AndrewFaulds UnRacist.
@AndrewFaulds no he is expresing himself
Shit nigga you got style
wow this is a really well made short film
changing the world a wheel rotation at a time
An inspiring video. Thumbs up.
Who would have thought.
2:55
I’m tempted to now do that to my bike.
That is amazing
Im liking these Rocketboom vids. First graffiti now this. Keep it up.
awesome video… visually stimulating and uplifting…
This was very educational! Thanks!
What the crap is this crap?
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!
i love this guy
@shawnz64 i guess you one of those scraper rtds huh?
someone give this guy some money for his bike shop.
3:28 Stern Look From A Minority. SLFAM. SLFAM. What is up with that? I see it in every movie about black people, there is always a slow motion stern look.
Very impressed, i feel cultured
“Saving the earth facility” What the fuck does that mean?
This is how we repair our broken society, with community instead of violence.
10% of the people who watched didn’t like this. Screw them. We got the 90%.
Thanks for all you guys support..

Make that dream happen Champ!
Do it for the kids.
You can count on that!!!
@JapKittyRawr you fuck with, get off the internet, heck get off our planet
@GmasterRED Its a place where people are saved and the earth gets some of the benefit. He saves the kids and they save their families and communities and then the planet is better off, because of scraper bikes!
Peace
I want the song in the beginning D:
This is very creative
they live green xD
you took this off my youtube!!!
Hooray for niggas with bikes!
This is awesome for youngsters, similar to how low rider bikes influenced Latino kids to stay active in a positive way. They look cool too.Nice Job Rocket Boom for uploading.
Let’s bring scraper bike all over the world
Go Nigger
5:54 Slick moves…..nice!

The bikes are so beautiful! Come semester break, I’m so going to do my wheels and body up! :)
<3 this make my heart go pitter-patter.
A very worthwhile video and visually interesting too.
@projectkidz08 It looks like you took it off the same website they did, which is referenced in the video description here on rocketboom, but unfortunately is NOT referenced in the description of the video on your page. I guess plagiarism doesn’t make for good karma.
@projectkidz08
Scrapertown, the video above, was produced and directed by Zackary Canepari & Drea Cooper.
Their website is called ‘California is a place’.
californiaisaplace . com/cali/thespecifics/
I’ve never heard about it. It looks a little strange but must be great fun to doing that :>

@3:49 What’s wrong with that kids teeth? He’s just a kid. What happened.
AS somebody that was expected to work in my father’s bike shop i was allways admiring the things that came out of the U.S. and the whole b.m.x. craze was american kids and the best gear for your bike like CW handlebars and A’me grips was so obviously from there. It’s nice to see that you don’t have to wait for the “mystique” to arrive from far aways. You can just invent it by yourself and imaginate the look you want..rly gud. A from U.K.
yea baby!! scraper bike international!!! im from germany and i got 3 scraper bikes!!!
What do they put on the wheel spokes?? haha! is it duraseal? lol what can be used - any idea? :)
This is probably the best video I have ever seen on Rocketboom. Not to put anyone else’s stories down, but this is seriously a great video.
