The fans, especially the female ones, play no small role in the driving of the wheelie artists. They prefer to ride Honda Crossers “because you could beat the shit out of them and they’d still run”. But if the bench has to be a little wider, a quad will do the same.

Her videos are all underlaid with rap music, and it fits in perfectly with her attitude towards life. But the black motorcyclists from Baltimore and other major American cities have found another form of expression: wheelies. Presented in the middle of the city traffic, artistic, anarchic. WOW-Boyz doesn’t stand for Wildout Wheelie Boyz for nothing.

It was relatively easy for photographer James Cheadle to watch the Wildout Wheelie Boyz go about their business in Baltimore. It was much more difficult to meet them, to talk to them. It took weeks of trust-building Facebook contact and e-mails before he finally got the message from a certain Steve: “Druids Hill Park, this Sunday, four in the afternoon. If you meet us, you risk getting arrested. What we’re doing is 100 percent illegal.

Steve, it turns out, is one of the older generation of the Wildout Wheelie Boyz at age 36. The dock worker has been driving and whipping off-road motorcycles since he was eight and was already shadowed by five civil patrols at the same time because he was suspected of hiding the motorcycles of other drivers in his gang. “They hunted me down as if I had 50 kilograms of coke at home and 20 murders on my conscience,” he says. “At first we drove in the parks, but the cops chased us away and issued us parking tickets. So we’re out on the street, they can’t get us there so easily or get stupid in any other way. “

As he speaks, more and more drivers and spectators appear. Following a well-rehearsed dramaturgy, they meet here, parading up and down the street so that the audience has something to see. Wheelies between cars, in a duet or trio, one-handed, standing on the bench, overhanging or in a remarkably elegant, long drive in the five-to-twelve position, i.e. just before vertical. No less virtuoso, youngsters show their rear-wheeling skills on their bicycles. The motorcycle and quad pilots will later gather to mill through the city as a mass movement. Most of them on unauthorized cross bikes and in street clothes. Helmet, boots? No thought of it.

They meet for the big wheelie parade: on Sunday afternoons at four o’clock at Druids Hill Park in Baltimore in the US state of Maryland.

Freaky is not there at the moment. He recently had a crash. “Next to the cops, the elderly are the greatest danger. Don’t look where they’re going. One of those popped into me last week. It will take a year to heal – with the nails and everything. ”Why is he even driving? “Relieves stress. What else should we do? We come here and let’s go. You can’t say it doesn’t look like fun. “

When four police cars appear in the convoy, it is over for the time being. With some astonishment, photographer Cheadle sees how the wheelie artists run away in all directions, as it were seeping into the city. And just as little he knows which of the not hastily but efficiently fleeing people to pursue photographically, just as little does the police. She even has to watch as someone makes off in a wheelie against the direction of travel between their cars. And after less than half a minute there is no one left to follow.

The dirt biker scene in Baltimore claims to have invented this explosive mixture of playfulness, talent for movement, macho and anarchy. Drivers vehemently oppose being drug couriers who misuse their courier vehicles in their free time. “These dealer stories are supposed to blacken us as bad guys terrorizing the city,” says Steve. He grabs between his legs. “The main thing is to show that you have balls in your pants.” And despite the emerging dirt biker scenes in Philadelphia and New York, the Baltimore bikers still claim to have the most virtuoso, expressive riding style. Steve, a New Yorker by the stage name Benmore, allows only one exception. He became famous with numerous YouTube videos, provoked numerous comments in New York newspapers and a raid personally ordered by Mayor Bloomberg. “He can do it,” says Steve, “after all, he was down here with us and copied it from us.”
