A viral YouTube video of a Texas man allegedly reaching speeds of 150 mph on a motorcycle has been taken down, but among its viewers was the Colorado State Patrol, which now wants to award the man criminal charges for his driving.

Rendon Dietzmann, 32, of Justin, Texas, goes by Gixxer Brah on YouTube and posts videos from a camera mounted to his helmet while driving his motorcycle. A video titled “From Colorado Springs to Denver in 20 Minutes” appeared to show him traveling at high speeds while weaving in and out of traffic in September 2023. The video has since been taken down, but Colorado State Patrol announced this week that they’ve issued an arrest warrant, alleging Dietzmann violated several laws and put “hundreds of people in jeopardy.”

The drive typically takes about an hour on Interstate 25, which has a speed limit of 65 mph or 75 mph, depending on the exact location, an increase from 55 mph in 2014.
