Young Hollywood

Oh my god, this is really hard. Wait, I'm not doing it right. All right, nevermind.

Ronnie Faisst

Yeah. That's exactly what you don't want to do when it's in gear. Slow it. Slow it.

Young Hollywood

Hey guys, Jessky here with Ronnie Fice. He was very kind to let us into his abode. So, this is your training compound.

Ronnie Faisst

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

What did what made you decide to like build it here in this area and the way it's set up?

Ronnie Faisst

Um, basically when I was like looking for a house, I just wanted to find something where I could build a freestyle park. So, I kinda searched around and it kinda gets tough, like every neighborhood always seemed to have like horses right where the track needed to be. So, like when I looked at this house, the lot next to me was empty and there was nothing around me. The neighbor that's closest to me didn't have horses. So, I was like, I didn't even walk in the house yet. I'm like, I'm buying it. I'm like, I just basically wanted that out there. So, then we put in a freestyle course and I I mean I've had the freestyle course probably for like five or six years.

Young Hollywood

Now, do a lot of the guys have the, you know, the luxury of it being in their backyard or do like other motocross riders come over here and practice?

Ronnie Faisst

Now, a lot of guys come here. I think out here, everyone kinda lives in the Temecula, Murrieta area. I think me, Mado, Nate, and Deegan and now Lincog who just kinda rebuilt his parent's house. I think they're the only like the five, I mean, Potter has a spot. It's not actually at his house. It's just he has a chunk of land. But other than that, they're the only really spots here to ride and all the guys just kinda rotate.

Young Hollywood

And I'm kinda curious because you did say it was pretty slick out there. And I'm a newbie. So, what are you gonna do? Anyone gets hurt every time you do something for the first time, is what I'm figuring.

Ronnie Faisst

I always get hurt. Especially when the cameras are on. So.

Young Hollywood

But at least I can't whiskey it, is that what it's called?

Ronnie Faisst

Well, I wouldn't say you can't, cuz anything's possible. There's always a chance because I'm gonna teach you without a clutch. But you could get aggressive. You could end up in the fence.

Young Hollywood

I tend to get pretty aggressive. So, as much as I'm enjoying sitting by your pool, I want to get out on that track and you teach me how to ride.

Ronnie Faisst

All right. Let's do it. We got you a young rockstar team outta Melissa Jersey customized with your name on the back so you can look professional.

Young Hollywood

Thank you ever so much.

Ronnie Faisst

We don't really amateurs ride out here. So, We want you at least to look like a professional.

Young Hollywood

I got squishy fat cheeks. That's all right. So, just one question, why is my bike so much smaller than yours? Your bike? My bike.

Ronnie Faisst

Well, your bike's a little bit smaller than mine because I want you to walk out of here today. If you really, really think you can handle my bike.

Young Hollywood

If, as long as I can start it, right?

Ronnie Faisst

Yeah, that's the rule. If you can't start it, you can't ride it. So, you better be able to test that out.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Oh my God, it's really hard. Okay. Come on, dude. Like stand up. Fire it back.

Ronnie Faisst

Yeah. Sorry. That's exactly what you don't want to do when it's in gear. Do not do that when it's in gear, cuz it's gonna just take off like a rocket, dude. Really slow with it. Slow with it. Slow with it. Slow with it. Now it's just like riding a bike. You know what I'm saying? Yep. If you gotta stop, push down on the rear brake.

Young Hollywood

Got it. Down on the rear brake. Can I do a ramp? You wanna go over the bump? Yeah, right. Really?

Ronnie Faisst

Yeah. Basically, you're doing everything perfect except for shifting on your own, which is pretty simple. So, whenever it revs, I I hit the third. Like when you pull that up when it starts to rev out, like it's just getting kinda like making a lot of noise. And you take off with this the second time. Way better than first time.

Young Hollywood

Are you kidding me? This is bullshit.

Ronnie Faisst

There you go. There you go. Keep it rolling. Keep it rolling. All right, yeah. Natural, dude.

Young Hollywood

Okay. So, now you saw what I can do, I want to see what you can do. All right. If you can beat my little three humps.

Ronnie Faisst

I will. I'll try to see if I can one up you.

Young Hollywood

I got in the darkness, you calling my name. I hear you calling up my side and the same. Everyone I knew are throwing running into my back. Doesn't matter to me cuz I'm just on my trick. Let me go. Let me go. Thank you so much for inviting us out here.

Ronnie Faisst

All right. Now you need to get your own little personal bike.

Young Hollywood

Oh, I'm 100%. I just told him I'm going to. I love it. I'm addicted. 110, though. You're gonna upgrade even bigger, right? Okay. I will. Keep going.
