45 Days in Jail For Making a Car Video - Was It Worth It? | Blake Wilkey Tells ALL

from Very Vehicular · host 321 Action Action

Whoa, dude! If it isn’t Off-Road Spicoli: the urban legend behind Urban Assault, king of the dirt and crown prince of the waves – Blake Wilkey! Arriving from his native San Diego with a warm smile and a glint in his eye, you just know this mystical rad-man has wild stories to relate. From his earliest days on the water, to his mechanical upbringing in the dirt, he found his way to mythic status when he turned his hand to building bugs (some of them, you may just have heard before!). Before long, that mischievous gleam in his eye landed upon his own city, and when Urban Assault exploded across the internet in 2016, his legend was as cemented as perhaps the most radical (..ok, nefarious) character in the automotive space. Now, he’s here to tell the full tale as well as his other antics, including the NORRA, Baja, his own brand Shreddy Lyfe and his latest diabolical creation…. the death boat? So! Turn on, tune in and drop out to this freestylin’, tube-wave-ridin’ conversation. As ever, enjoy!@BlakeWilkey357@ShreddyLyfestyle@BrianScotto@321ActionActionPartners:FCP EuroHeat Wave VisualWera ToolsKW SuspensionsProducer: Nick Rutter @nickrutterartsEditor: Nick Selgrath @not-built-for-thisMusic: SlikSound Patreon: https://patreon.com/u37266647https://bio.site/[email protected]:00 - Welcome & Introduction00:55 - 45 Days in Jail for a Video: Worth It?12:17 - Born to Ride and Dirt Road Beginnings17:22 - Tough Trucks18:35 - What Is It About Bugs?21:52 - Sponsor: FCP Euro23:21 - Building Your Own Freestyle Path32:09 - Fabrication Work and TT Bug Builds36:21 - Shreddy Lyfe38:56 - Why the 80s Just Looked Cool41:49 - Next Builds and 6100 Plans43:58 - Class 11 Explained46:59 - Why NORRA Rules51:19 - Scumbug and Baja Dreams55:29 - Karol G Music Video Surprise59:36 - Sponsors: Heat Wave Visual, Wera Tools & KW Suspensions01:01:32 - Death Boat Origins01:05:52 - Early Boating Background01:09:21 - Pastranaland Stories01:15:21 - Future Film Scouting?01:17:45 - Down in Mexico01:23:15 - Too Many Cars - Just Like Scotto?01:30:03 - Weird Bug Builds01:31:35 - Many Iterations of Scumbug01:34:04 - UTVs Taking Over - Bad for the Culture?01:38:45 - Everybody Remembers Their First Time01:42:03 - Camping Next to the Sea of Cortez01:46:11 - Megalodon vs TT Bug01:50:07 - Rallycross Bug Ideas01:52:00 - Plans for a Collab?
