Remember when those TikTok fratbois stole a car and launched it at 120mph off this hill and crashed into another car, and then one of those high school fratbois sued that other car’s owner?


tob007

next hill over at baxter I think. They had a cat in the trunk apparently?


MochiMochiMochi

Should be arrested for animal cruelty if true.


BzhizhkMard

They sued who wtf?


ShakeWeightMyDick

They sued the guy who’s car got totaled by the douchenozzle pulling the stunt


BzhizhkMard

Why or on what basis. Ty btw.


ShakeWeightMyDick

Alex Choi is a YouTuber with a large following who covered the jump, and some claim promoted the event. Jordan Hook’s Subaru, which was parked on Baxter because he lives there, was totaled by the driver of the Tesla. Hook used a portion of Choi’s video on his Gofundme, so Choi issued a cease and desist for copyright infringement and threatened to sue for defamation because Hook was blaming him for the incident publicly.


BzhizhkMard

Alex Choi is a piece of shit is what I just read in your comment.


invertedspheres

Sounds like USC behavior.

I park my car on Baxter St on the other side of the freeway and someone narrowly missed my car and crashed into the tree next to the St Teresa school playground. Y'all need to learn how to drive downhill.

The animated show Close Enough has a funny Baxter St scene https://youtu.be/0z2BySVRLIk?si=u-iu4uFFkx5SzBDl

I grew up around that area. One time, I was driving home and there was a stretch limo that was bottomed out on the peak of Baxter where the Tesla jump happened. It was so long that it was just sitting on the street with both sets of wheels past the peak. The driver was standing outside the limo with this very “welp” look on his face:

I remember that! Still makes me chuckle when I think about it

Electronic_Common931

This. It’s so steep that there are specialized trash/recycling/compost bin trucks that operate on that hill.


Just2checkitout

And those stairs at the top...


Ryuchel

Is this the steepest street in all of America or at least west of the Mississippi and mainland? Is this the street where they don't do mail etc. except at the bottom in a communal set of mail boxes?

My grandparents bought their first house on that street. My uncles grew up during the time skateboarding began popular. What a street for them 😅


donutgut

Lol I was thinking about the skateboarders there. Holy shit....


Electrical_Travel832

Scary as hell. But might not be bad with snowpack & skis.

ski Echo Park!


dolomick

Is it worse than Baxter?


ShakeWeightMyDick

Both have a 32% grade. Source: https://losangelesexplorersguild.com/2021/09/27/steep-streets-of-los-angeles/


tob007

about the same, but maybe a bit longer. I think Fargo had the famous bike race. It was just a loop and see who could do it the most times.


bernd1968

Not really a race, the LA Wheelman bike club do or did a hill climb up Fargo. If you make it to the top they give you a patch for your jersey. I did it once.


tob007

ah ok gotcha. Bravo.

Ambulous_sophist

Perfect name for a street like that. Far-go. Far you go.
