Gerritsen NYPD Dirtbike Helicopter Chase


Thanks for everyone who sent this in!

For a good amount of time (1-2 hours) one of the nypd aviation unit helicopters, were chasing multiple dirtbikes up and down back weeds. As well as multiple police cars flying up and down gerritsen avenue.

This afternoon happened to be crowded on the Avenue and there were about three baseball games who were constantly being buzzed by the chopper
all three of the games gerritsen avenue also had a good amount of police cars.

No word on arrest, but some or all of the dirtbikes were seen being taken away, by police.

    No arrest were made..And it was one bike with one rider bein chased..They got the bile, but the rider was never caught..Quite some skill displayed by the chopper pilot I must say. At one point he was no more tahn 10 feet above the tree line

    Typical response, probably the same moron who walks his dog and does not pick up, or takes things off of other peoples property, or decides that its ok to toss his empty beer bottles into the middle of the street. Exactly why this neighborhood has the reputation that it does and always will.
    The police should not even bother , just let these idiots kill themselves, not that it matters because there are up and coming idiots more than willing to fill in. Can’t wait till my kid finishes at 277 so I can finally get out of this holler

            @poppajoe, have fun peeling me off the floor or carrying me out of the weeds because i either died with a smile on my face or fell and broke something with a smile on my face. we have these things called helmets and pads they are fairly new they protect you when you fall. as long as i have my helmet, gloves, chest protector, neck stabalizer, kidney belt, boots and leg guards you want see me in an ambulance for a long ass time. and with advances in modern science and my nice level income who knows how safer it can get for me. and now im thinking about riding up every block in the beach with the engine on my dirtbike cranking with no silencer on the pipe fucking jerkoffs

    wow, wtf is wrong with cops. at the time this was going on, my car was broken into, and plenty of other crimes were going on. leave these kids alone and go do your fucking jobs. its really sad that they get a helicopter after kids riding bikes, but they can’t get a cop car into gerritsen for more then a few minutes. PRIORITIES!!!

      At the time I am reading this blog I am listening to motorcycles racing up and down the avenue. Now its not too bad at 11:00 p.m. but try listening to this at 2 am…..where are the cops to slow them down???? Everyone has the right to ride the bikes but no one has the right to be so inconsiderate!

      These kids racing up and down the avenue have caused the deaths of other people. That kid was racing up and down the avenue on a death wish Also, running from the police was a crime in itself when he didn’t care if he killed someone crossing the street or possibly a driver of a car…only to ruin the lives of families forever. The avenue was loaded with people strolling and enjoying the nice day. Imagine if he lost control?

      I’m glad they got him and hope that he doesn’t get to ride a dirtbike ever again.

    go up state or in the country thats is where these bikes belong not on the the ball fields or even on the streets they are iligel and do not belong in this area or any other area where you can abuse the people with what you think is fancy riding and showing off. you are just a bunch of loosers who are spoiled by your parents or who is ever watching you.

    i’d like them to add up the manpower and fuel that was used to attempt to apprehend the fbi top 10 most wanted list kid on a dirt bike..they should be ashamed of themselves..that helicopter pilot was flying that thing like a lethal weapon wannabe.. how would that be explained to the general public if he crashed that thing and put people especially kids, in harms way..what a joke..go fly that thing like that in iraq and lets see how big your balls are then!

    To all those who responded to my entry…..thank you for just proving my point, I could not have done a better job of showing just how stupid and backwards most of you are. Of course I won’t see your next responses because i have things to actually do like work, which many of you don’t seem to do on a regular basis. But don’t worry, I will be out of here soon enough, not soon enough for my liking but soon enough. And then you morons can continue doing whatever you want with no regard for your neighbors just like you have always been doing. Just keep destroying your neighborhood because that makes sense dosen’t it? and when something good comes along to make your area better, like greenstreets, you can all climb out of your huts and vote against it because why would we want something nice here?
    Ok, I have to go now, but I cannot wait to see how many curses you put into your response and how many misspellings, actually those are the best. Bye for now Losers

    The neighborhood doesnt need the negativity? is that what you actually wrote in response to me? This whole area is one big ball of negativity, out side of the few people who actually care and try to make it a better place it is a place where you cant cross the street without some idiot racing around the corner without paying attention, or attempting to get into one of the stores but having to navigate past all the up and coming morons who have nothing to do but vegetate. Or lets not forget the drunks who walk up the streets at all hours screaming or throwing bottles or urinating on peoples property or damaging peoples property. You people cant even let a new business pen and try to establish themselves before you start to trash it. But you inbreds just keep on doing what you do. As for the rest of the comments, they are too idiotic to even respond to. Maybe if I go to one of the 3, yes 3 bars in our small community and get drunk, I would be able to understand the points you are trying to make since you were all probably drunk when your wrote them. Write whatever you want in response , I wont see it, because this is all pointless but at least the website got some ore hits.

      @Disgusted, “Idiot racing around the corner” – I had a problem with a kid in a white mustang with black trim or design or whatever…he waited til I was walking past and did doughnuts leaving me in a cloud of noxious fumes. I’m gonna find the kid…

    How many more people have to die in Gerritsen Beach due to a Motorized Vechicle? How many more neighbors have to watch families suffer from there loss because someone got nailed on the avenue or backweeds.

    I can’t blame the kids that are doing it but I do point the finger at the parents that allow it.

    The same parents that allow there child to ride these bikes that would and will cause a shit stir with the NYPD “why didn’t they do something to prevent my child from being injured or killed.” How easy it is to start point fingers when the issue really starts at home.

    Typical Gerritsen Beach Parent when someone confronts them about there child “Not my son/daughter” Take ownership of your childrens actions. as Bernie Mac said ” Beat your children America maybe they will remeber the beating the next time they do something stupid”

    Old Section…… You talk as if the people riding these dirt bikes are small children, or medium sized children for that matter. They aren’t children. They are adults. Many in their 20′s and older. The one who engaged the cops in that chase is about 25. One of the worst offenders is over 30 and NYFD. What should his mother do, spank him? Dirtbikes serve no purpose, they are just alot of noise and daredevil stunts. Why do men always find that so fulfilling?

    Right now I am listening to cars screeching up and down the avenue it is 9:50 @ night , so where are the helicopters now ??? t

    To tell you the truth I am wondering why our taxpayers money is being spent on fuel to send up a helicopter for over an hour to find kids in the back weeds on dirt bikes when they should use the money to have a car patrol the beach expecially on friday and Saturday nights when it is dangerous to cross the street down here.

    everybody needs to leave dirtbikers alone and let them ride. thats all we want to do but nope cops are gay and have no lifes and have to stop dirtbikers. dirtbiking is like the only fun thing that keeps people out of doing drugs and vandalizing property. really let us dirtbikers ride and get a life cops. go chase drug dealers not us.

      @corey marchand, I think you’ve fallen off that bike one too many times. You should really start wearing a helmet to prevent further damage to your pea brain.

I know who was riding that bike and i will not comment on him,however im 35 years old and i have been riding dirtbikes since im 8 yrs. old . I have told this young man and all of these other kids to ride backweeds because thats how we did it and never had a problem!

    You guys need to stay off the streets because one day your gonna hurt someone else and then its only gonna get worse!!!
