The viking horns ring through the run-down downtown los angeles backdrop. from staggered formation, a group of cyclists merge to a single file line and circle two gladiators in the center of a dirt lot. War drums play as the leather is strapped and laced on the fighters hands'. The bell sounds and two minutes of midnight ridazz bike/fight club has begun.
okay so that was a little dramaticand cheesy as fuck!.. it sounds like a kick ass B-movie though.
I'm searching for rider/fighters. I am not here to promote violence just looking for those who are seeking new challenges in their rides. In this ride, all riders must box for at least 2-2minute rounds and will be supplied adequate protective gear. Think of it as a fight club on wheels. All love, no animosity....
Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned- Tyler.
SO WHERE ARE YOU PLANNING TO START THE RIDE THAT REALLY SOUNDS LIKE FUN ... IM WITH IT .... ILL ROCK ANYBODY THAT GET ON MY WAY ... I MIGHT BE SMALL BUT IM SPICY....
I have something for a better RELEASE.....a CIRCLE JERK !!
Everyone stands in a circle with a bunch of graham crakers in the center.
We all pull out our cocks and 10 bucks.
Whoever cums first gets the money....
whoever cums last eats the graham crakers
i dig this -some of us use bikes as a means to crosstrain or build cardio for mma anyways, i think you and i both know that there are gonna be dudes out there who are really gonna try fuck the other person up instead of train - have you thought about grappling/bjj instead, idk i think its easier on the body than boxing. a crosstrain/ride maybe...a meet spot somewhere in mid LA with a sprint to the beach where we wouldnt even need mats. set it up ------->
Yes, let's all ride around and beat the shit out of each other. Great idea. No! Not only are you breaking the the first two rules of Fight Club but you putting it up on a public form that's routinely trolled by the law. Our rides already have undercovers itching for a reason to take action. God forbid someone dies on the ride and everyone leaves them to choke on their own blood. They'd trace it back to you and your unique IP address. If you seek to do this, it's a word of mouth thing and moreover it's YOUR thing. My suggestion is that you to lead a ride that goes to a boxing gym and spare there. Where there are medics and pros around.
Think about the people you're inviting -- this is still LA and people have beef and everyone's crazy to begin with. On the Neverland Ranch ride one of our own was shot in the back for riding through a neighborhood. We've got people rolling up in vans attacking us with baseball bats for fucking bicycles. There are plenty of obstacles already. You want a challenge? Go ride some hills, start an relay alley cat, do the burrito project and feed the homeless. If you like fighting or are trained in boxing TEACH people how to box. If you're not here to promote violence why do you have a picture from Blood Sport up? I love that movie, it's sooo violent! As someone who actually cares about the continued future of MR, who genuinely enjoys the social, freeing, positive atmosphere that allows me enjoy Los Angeles, I implore you do not associate this ride with us.
ps: Is this a joke? You signed up yesterday. I just wrote all of this out for a troll? God damn it. I am Jack's raging bile duct.
Again,
read my intro. I am not promoting violence. I am not telling ppl to beat the shit out of each other. I am asking those people who are interested in sparring. Listen, if you don't like this idea, just switch forums. Im not asking anybody to do anything illegal. this is NOT a no holds barred event. In fact, we can even ride to boxing gyms or dojos. But seriously guys, if your not with it, just shut the fuck up.. This obvioiusly isnt the ride for you and for those who are interested in it they know the risks involved. Thanks. My number one priority is the protection of these riders. Seriously....
Oh and an interesting article I found in sports illustrated the other day.
Maybe this is where the idea stems from
Omnia mutantur , nihil interit, as the Roman poet Ovid said—"Everything changes, nothing perishes." So believes Boris Giorgiutti, a sports marketer based in Rome. In 2007 Giorgiutti witnessed an annual scrum in Florence called calcio fiorentino (SI, Aug. 4, 2008). The game, a mix of rugby and smashmouth combat, is based on the Roman sport of harpastum. Captivated, Giorgiutti updated the elements and created a four-team Fight Football League, which is playing its first season and will expand to seven clubs.
Giorgiutti gave his gladiators (10 per side) uniforms: football pants, sleeveless shirts with Roman numerals, and mixed martial arts gloves, but no helmets or pads. "In the historical game, there [are] no rules," Giorgiutti says. "It leads to chaos. Fight Football has a more professional format." Forbidden are elbowing, kneeing, kicking and choking. But wrestling and slugging are legal. (Imagine football linemen beating each other to a pulp after the whistle.)
Now, Giorgiutti will visit the U.S. to explore the introduction of Fight Football here. "I'm getting 100 e-mails a day" from America, he says, adding, "It's the perfect product. You need elements of courage, respect, honor."
et - relax...... .i appreciate the heads up, but i know these "FORMS" or forums are monitored.
Again, appreciate you trying to look out.. But with proper regulation, nobody will get out of line. Especially since I have friends in the police force interested in this and war veterans also.
Dude you just signed up here, don't know how to use the reply button and generally being an ass. MR is not a place to just post you aggro erotic fantasies. This is a place where we have fun and ride our bikes. Maybe you should take this to LAFixed.....

Ironically you are trying to censor me in your free country and free forum. See it works both ways. I get to call your idea stupid and you get to continue to defend it.

I apologize that you were a sheltered child and could not keep up with los angeles slang. i will keep in mind that one must speak to you with correct grammer.
you guys are all trying to protect the integrity of the rides and i get that. but here i am. a prophet in a sense, that is trying to revolutionize the cycling game and what do i get for it????? shitted on.
well just remember this. when this shit blows up just remember one crazy, mule dick nigga had an idea.... an idea IONS ahead of its time...
How about we do somthing...ala....Michael jackson in the "beat it video".........tie our left hands up with leather straps, and put knives in the other?.............buuuuuut, we have to wear dresses, preferably a nice calico........
oh you would know how to spell it wouldn't you.. mister I've been on to catch-a-predator-twice-and-still-haven't-learned-my-lesson" Where is the law when you need it?? Hmm!!!!(nose shoots straight in the air)
Foldie, seriously, I feel nothing but bad feeling from you while i'm fucking around with everyone else. so i'll tell you again to shut the fuck up and leave me the fuck alone. Thank you very fucken much..
Fake ass teacher. so what do you do for a living since you're on my ass about my dialogue all the fucken time??? (2nd time i ask you)
I would be honored to be the person who 20 years from now gets to say:
"Remember that one crazy, mule dick dude with an idea? God damn he was right about Fighke Clubs. Oh well should have bought stock in that scheme. Lets take our freak-wheel chairs out for a spin tonight; whaddya say?"

This whole Fight Club thing already happened at Venice Skate Park a few weeks ago.
Everybody had a sad about it, and the police got involved, so we're gonna try to hold off on the voluntary violence for a bit, as it never ends well, at least in the L.A. cycling community.
Plus, many of our ridazz don't have health insurance, and dental/orthopedic work gets expensive fast.
If you'd like to revive the CRAFT Club that some members had going a while back, that'd probably go over much better, as there's less awkwardness and more delicious snacks and craft products, which would make it a win-win for all concerned.
Md2 you know I got your back. 20% off anything in the store. But I have to be there to punch in my employee code. Not sure on the rain gear but def got the Cross Color jeans. hit me up on the two-way (213) 273-8593

that was pretty funny.... and the animation was cool too.
but where does all this homo eroticism come from. Jacking off to the UFC??
who does that??? if anyone needs counseling it should be you guys. The way you twist this competition to gay shit. I just don;t undertand how throwing punches (no wrestling) is homo erotic..
Borfo. you're welcome for collecting unemployment from my taxes..
get a job and quit fucking around on these forums.. seriously. contribute to our fucked up economy lil homie
Duuuude. Relax. Noone here is impressed or afraid. I think you would have gotten a better response if you would have offered riding and MMA training. The problem is, is that a fight club (like the one i used to attend in _____________) gets way too out of control. It would be nice if it was like the movie fight club, but in real fight clubs, people get broken jaws, hands, ribs, etc. You cant show up next week like in the movie. No referee, bad idea, cuz noone is running the rules. What if someone gets knocked out and dosent wake up (like i have seen?) Who is going to call the ambulance? Plus the ride leader/organizer is setting themselves up for civil / criminal liabilities. If you wanna fight that bad, go into any Muay Thai academy in LA and sign a waiver and they will let you fight that day.
you said you've done this before...... I DONT BELIEVE YOU. (kool keith)
are you talking about the dojo in NoHo???
I'm cool. listen, i appreciate the suggestions and concerns. This ride will NEVER get out of line like that. Have you noticed other contact sports such as football have the same if not greeater health risks??? hasnt there been a ride like that with NO PADDING???
listen, fighters will be protected. fuck signing waivers. yo7u guys are making this WAAAAAAAY too complicated.
Rikker, i dont care if you believe me or not. Im not here to impress you or anyone else here with my abilities. You dont know shit about me. I know my capabilities. You have never hosted a fight club which is obvious from your initial post, that reeks of the start of a UFC show. ANY muay thai post will let you roll in there and fight. The way is in training young grasshopper.
@md2 LOL that guy is great, I'd like to have him as a friend now.
@foldie I love the Jane Austin video!

@RickerRicker 1-9
At this point I'm less concerned with your actual event and more concerned of it being associated with the Midnight Ridazz. We should be trying to promote cycling progression and culture in LA. If you and your cop friends want to ride bikes and beat each other up, shirtless, on the LA river, sweaty, sun setting, epic Micheal Bay shots etc. in your head, so be it. Perhaps having officers with you will help out when LAPD rolls in. But speaking for myself as a shifty-eyed "reasonably" respectable citizen, I'd like it if LAPD didn't see a group of riders as more of a threat. They sent SWAT for CRANKMOB, a party ride. What do you think they'll send for you?
As Tyler says, "do what you like man" hopefully it will be away from the MR name and have it be RickerRicker 1-9's good old fashioned cop fightin' dot com. You'd be a millionaire in weeks. People would love to watch that ish online.
Midnight Ridazz, now with 5% more cop fightin'!
Welcome to the forms.
Paranoid?

i'd like to go on record and dettach this proposal from the MR. and i would also like to go on record and say MR is really not the origin of Los Angeles cycling. This has nothing to do with this forum merely observation. Most of the people in here are not from los angeles so you guys do no represent me at all. Again, this has nothing to do with this thread.
Trust babies and hipsters (same thing) are not LA. repeat you guys are not LA.
On a side note,
I rode through DTLA earlier this week around 6th and central. A group of friends and I were discussing the details of a corporate acquisition that was in the NY Times when these two waste of city resources circle our closest intersection, you know, these fake cyclist cops that rock the purple shirts. Rather than riding 20 meters to where we were talking, these guys came back four times to scan our area. one minute later, a patrol car rolls up, bust a U right in front of us and then acted like they were looking for someone/thing on the opposite side of our group.
Sure, from far away, dudes wearing dickies and flannels looks like trouble but had these assholes just passed by us ONCE, maybe they wouldnt have called the cops and maybe learned a thing or two about this transaction. What a fucken waste of money those guys are.
Barney looking muthafuckas!!
i hope they read this shit too. What if there was a murder two streets down. did they even think that this call-in might impede reaction time to REAL police matters.
I remember some broads fighting on a rooftop on a ride once. One ended up having a shiner for a good month or so. It might have been christmas time cus her bike was decorated to resemble a candy cane. :P
