It's illegal to ride dirt bikes on the streets of Baltimore, which is part of the thrill for the young men who do so anyway, usually on Sunday afternoons, in a noisy display that city residents call both intimidating and thrilling. The Baltimore police are prohibited from pursuing the riders in high-speed chases, so they try to confiscate bikes and push for tougher punishment. Last November, a 23-year-old Baltimore man was sentenced to nearly six months in prison after two arrests for riding a dirt bike on city streets. Lotfy Nathan, who is directing a documentary about the bikers, called "The 12 O'Clock Boys," describes the rides as a form of escapism. "You can imagine a certain population who doesn't want to join the Boy Scouts," Nathan says. "A lot of them resort to this sort of street sport with a certain degree of celebrity status. In parts of the inner city, they are pretty highly regarded."
Estimated number of active dirt-bike riders in Baltimore: more than 100
Age of riders: about 13 to late 30s
Bikes and ATVs confiscated by the police last August: 15
