We embedded with the street takeovers in Portland | CHAOSTOWN S1E5

For 30 minutes at a time, these kids own the streets. Our crew embedded with some up-and-comers in the Portland street takeover scene to see what it's really like to do burnouts in an intersection, surrounded by hundreds of other kids.

Everyone knows this is dangerous, and it's illegal. What you do with that info depends on who you are. Local news features interviews with people who hate it. Cops release statements saying they're cracking down. But for hundreds of young people, this is where you meet friends, stunt, and blow off steam.

We spent time at a couple of slideshows during New Year's Eve weekend, and interviewed people to find out how to gain notoriety, why this scene is worth the risk, and what they think of their public image.
