MR Nostalgia
Thread started by AIDS66 at 02.5.11 - 10:33 pm

Remember when rides where like this?

Everyone would dress up, smile, and just ride. When I started MR in 08, 2nd friday rides were the shit. Man I remember The Pokemon ride people you would think we were riding bikes to a comic book convention, with all the people in costume. Shit every ride had a music trailer I can't recall how many times I heard " MGMT Kids".

As much as everyone loves to hate on the video below. The more I watch it the more I miss the old rides. Tell me when was the last time you saw so many people dress up or participate in a ride?

I think the solution to your dilemma is to plan a themed ride with a trailer. What? Facepaint? Now you're talking. Spelling out words? Cool! Dress up as part of a robot and form as many Voltron's as possible? Where does it start?!

OMG, shut the fuck up.

In 2008, the organizers of Midnight Ridazz had long ago split because too many wild douche bags had started showing up on their rides, and they couldn't contain the madness and they didn't want to be held responsible for other people's bad behavior.

The "old rides" are totally relative. I started going on group social rides in late 2005. Even on those "dress up rides" with a modest couple of hundred people, only a small minority would really dress up. One mass ride with a lot of costume buy-in was the Wariorzz ride. Other than that, it is always the same: some people get the dress-up memo, everyone else just wants to party and/or ride.

Things totally aren't that bad. In fact, they are better than ever. You can have a casual ride in the SGV on Wednesday night and you'll get at least a dozen kids out there just because you posted it online.

I showed up to "meet points" for rides in late 2005 and early 2006 for weeks with nobody from the "group" showing up.

You pick the right rides now, and you'll be able to keep the magic going. If you don't like the direction rides are heading, time to organize some the way you want them to be held.

I was around for the golden age of 2nd friday rides, and I can tell u that it was great. Definitely alot more young hooligans now, but at least instead of waiting for Midnight Ridazz every month, now there are like 3-5 rides EVERY NIGHT! Not a bad trade off..

Everyone has their own definition of the "good old days," corresponding neatly to the period when they first started riding, when they were seeing everything with fresh eyes and it was all new and exciting.

What the subject is pining for is not so much an old kind of bike ride that no longer exists, but rather his old way of experiencing those bike rides.

In order to resolve this impossible desire to return to an idealized past, the subject may wish to change his expectations - either for the rides or for his own experience of them. The most promising solution, however, may be for him to redirect his energy toward a productive activity (working to ensure that the bike rides he attends more closely reflect his vision, building his own sound system, "being the change" etc. etc., like motherfucking Gandhi). Or he can keep hoping, and keep being disappointed.

I missed that pokemon ride by 5 mins.by the time I put my gf's front wheel on u guys were gone :(
The rides back then were a lot more fun.
I haven't gone on a big ride since the last crank mob due to the way those little ghetto kids ride in a big pack. And Ll the trash everyone leaves.

You can't have nostalgia until it's all over.

If you want to point fingers at who is responsible for the "decline" of the quality of group rides, you have to point at fixed gear bikes. And me of course, I'm a major contributing factor in the LA bike scene going to pot. Hopefully someday I will complete ti's destruction.

Sig,
You may want to gather more complete information about your subject before making a determination.

AIDS66 & his bro in fact have been planning bad-ass rides with a unique flava and the ridazz spirit for some time now.

They are makers and doers. Nex Gen Ridazz fo sho.

But yess ... perspective does make a difference.

When one has an opportunity to witness the eb and flow of a 2 or 3 year span, things do look a bit different. You see new people come in, get hyper, spend every waking moment thinking about group rides... fizzle out and turn into a bike commuter fed up with all the "new people" on big bike rides ... from my experience this cycle lasts on average about 2 years. ride on.

I'd argue the popularity (and draw) of CrankMOB is what killed Midnight Ridazz, all those fucking hipsters having F.U.N.(tm) on their neon hipster-bikes, and OMG. the F.U.N. was so fake, pretentious and N.O.T. fun, it made me want to puke. I gave it another shot at the last one, it pissed me off so bad... guess where I'm NOT going to be this weekend...
