A gang of youths have wreaked havoc after driving recklessly and dangerously on a residential street in Edinburgh over the weekend, and posting their antics online.
The heart-stopping stunts were recorded by one of three young bikers who posted the footage to social media platform TikTok on Monday, tagging the Niddrie area of the city and claiming to be from “local Sunday bike life”.
The disgraceful two-minute long video shows the yobs pulling wheelies in the middle of neighbourhood roads in front of oncoming traffic, driving at speed down pavements, and mowing down grass verges near homes.
At first, the boy on the orange bike looks back to make sure he’s on film before pulling a slow motion wheelie in front of a row of neighbourhood homes, reports EdinburghLive.
The group quickly turn off of the street onto a pavement lined on one side with homes and on the other side with parked cars. They divert onto a grass verge, tearing into the soft mud and destroying the grass before pulling onto a busier main road.
The riskiest stunt is pulled by the boy on the orange bike as he performs a wheelie while moving at great speed on the main road while another vehicle comes ahead. The incident is the latest in a series of young, reckless motorcyclists caught on camera acting dangerously.
In mid-October, a motorcyclist was captured dashcam footage near the Grange and Marchmont areas overtaking vehicles, roaring through a red light traffic junction, and racing down the street pulling wheelies into the distance.
In July, an Edinburgh man described the city as "the wild west" after filming multiple off-road bikers running red lights and causing mayhem along Lanark Road.
