needless to say i wont be making it out tonight...
soo bummed.
>_<
And yo' ass broke the hammer-mechanism on my boomstick!!
That's okay, I cyper-squeezed you, Chloe, and a gaggle of others to vent my forlorn frustration.
Oh, and mikey(Marc Cohn)wally whooped my ass in the qualification round.
That's alright, my A-game was a little off, and my rear-spokes are deteriorating.
Getting back to the boomstick, I propose an off-site(or on-site), Airsoft duel with stilline.
And the voice at that dry, 7-11 was moking hot, I want her #!!

I really enjoyed myself on this ride, I got to see places of L.A. I never knew existed. Some very stunning locations, and WHAT A FUCKIN TURNOUT it was. Biggest ride I have ever been on.
I do agree that a refreshment stop would have been a great thing but overall I was left feeling very satisfied with life in general, and I was also left with a sense of accomplishment :)
I wish I would have started throwing up after the jumps, because I really wanted to do them.
Everybody who helped me get home, a very big THANK YOU! You guys rock. I would have just left my ass to sleep in the gutter, after taking my wallet. Sorry about getting vomit on your car seat(s). I need to do something to show my appreciation, maybe a tea party or something.
This ride rocked! I'm so glad that no matter what I can always count on getting together with all you guys and ride. So far the robots ride has come up with some pretty great surprises that will entertain us all to no end, I loved this route. See y'all next weekend!
Chynna
I am so sorry about what happened!!!!
We waited for you to get back to the park and I called you but everyone told me to leave you alone cuz you were busy:)
I'm so sorry we took off it was getting really late.
I hope you are okay and that you made it home safely.
I also hope next robot ride to be better then this ride.
Gaby
It's okay.
"I called you" (remember my phone died 'cause I went in the fountain? ) :(
"everyone told me to leave you alone cuz you were busy:)" I still think that was a ridiculous thought of everyone, ha. Seriously.
I had forgotten you went in the fountain with your phone..
I feel terrible please forgive me chynna
you always have a spot in my car kid you know that!!!
I hope you feel better soon and hope to see you soon!!!
No, don't feel terrible. Nothing is your fault. I was lucky I got a ride with Deborah (thanks again) and I'm lucky I'm alright. :)
I hope I feel better soon too. I want to ride on Tuesday but I don't think my leg will be up to it.
(sorry everyone for going off topic on the thread)
1st - thanks to stilline, and the Mom Ridaz, and Franz.. for sticking with me in C-Mob park till the wee hours of the morning waiting for the "Save Vlad" crew to get back and claim their bikes.. you entertained me and we had some good laughs!
i love all you MRsszzz, warm and fuzzies!
2nd - pictures will go up later tonight.. i am at work now, but, damn, i wish i had my computer here today.. i would be working on that shit!
@Imachynna...
It was the MOM RIDAZ fault...we all thought you were "busy" since you and _______ were missing...
and....
you forgot to check your mail at my hizzle...when are you gonna come over again??
yaa i dont think we actually met met but we have exchanged words i believe.. i am the one with the spray painted gold bike and the red helmet oh and the shues.
Speaking of bullets, when we were saving Vlad we thought we heard gunshots. But it was firecrackers? Don't really remember what happened.
But, at least it's not a lot of things, I definitely grateful it's only that.
awww im all the way over here in santa monica.. plus i can just hop on down to the jetty and watch the whole thing with the comfort of my pbr. why don you join? make it a ride.
hey chynna, I'm about to leave work downtown to ride home to venice on the west side. If you want to take up shues on that offer you could join me on my way back.
oooo sounds like an offer you cant refuse.. well actually if you had work tomorrow morning or something that would be difficult but if you didnt i have a big couch..
oh and UCB you should come out it will be a Blast? that doesnt work nvm.. someone come up with something interesting and pun like.
I'm not gonna ride out tonight cause my body hurts, but I hope you guys have a good night and see everything that needs to be seen. I'll keep your numbers too.
wait, everyone's riding to see the sky fall down? i live in venice. i want to see. when? where? i skimmed the thread. sorry. why is this in ROBOTZ anyway?
i actually had an awesome night.
very different from every other ride i've been on; never stayed out as late, been sober for so long or had a drunk russian puke from my car.
it was also pretty awesome to see the sun come up while sitting in a tree.
Screw this, next time I am riding totally sober and pwning the races!
deboRAWR, you should remember the moment a drunk Russian puked from your car, because it doesn't happen very often (we hold alcohol so well sometimes we're used as container substitutes). You better not wash off that puke either; it actually improves you car's MPG rating.
Screw this, I'm going to eat a whole pie for breakfast. Carb loading FTW!
Thanks for finally getting more pics up Sara!! I like the pic of my back carrying the ramp away, but where's one of my flying with my bike? I swear I was like 50 feet off the ground.
@LEEDAR BOTZ (KNITTENS, AL-Rex, J.A.Z., Alec Paul)
How/ where do I make spokecards like yours? Meaning, printing, laminating, cutting? Both ROBO rides have had awesome spokecards.
I remember on ride 0 we passed a park with a big fountain right before we headed for our first Ralph's stop. We were all like "let's stop here" but we kept going anyway. We should return to swim in that fountain.
And Syoma, next ride let's not just get some chick's numbers, let's get in their pants, robot-style:
Knittens has few things to say - so he uses hooman language.
Fank you all 4 coming. Weez sorry about dry 711 stop at teh end. Alex maded a mistayke N he haz been duly chastized.
We hopes you had funz. Next month dis ryde starts at 8 o'clock, so we can haz moar fun. Yes, you heared right - 8pm.
We also is just learneng wif teh racez n so forth. It was an ezperiment. Soory to teh ridazz hoo got bored when we can haz teh furst race. N sorry to those ridazz sexpecting teh 2nd racez - we thought we could racez bicyz over teh jumps but they were 2 big. So we could not.
Also - Vlad, dat was reely stupid. U messed up a lot of peeples nights. To everyone, if u get sooper sick, or you hurt yourself, this is a problem for everyone. Wathc ur drinkin and be sayfe. knittens does not blame anybody who calls the paramedics in dis situation - Vlad deserves teh bill. ANGRY KITTEH IS A LITTLE ANGRY.
Fenk you Alec 4 teh beoutiful hatz, fenk u Paul 4 teh jumps. Fenk u Alex 4 teh route. Fenk u Matt, JB, Katie N JAZ for leedeng teh ride to CRNAK MOB pakr. Fenk you SAra 4 pictures. Fenk you eberybody who helped sick persons and mechanikals.
Fuck off Scotty. There's ENOUGH positive threads. I'm keepin it real....
Hahahaha!
Oh of course why wouldn't I keep it? I've developed an unnatural relationship with a piece of clothing! Great! But yeah it's cool. I'm in the process of naming it....
Did someone seriously think about calling an ambulance? Honestly if y'all would have just left me to sleep it off in the park it would have been ok, it's not like it would have been the first time for me. I promise to moderate consumption from now on as obviously it's caused a lot of problems.
as long as you can ride a bike moderation means shit when drinking..
@deb
your hat better be a full on transformers uniform cause that would be amazing..
@ everyone else
i need advice i quit this job recently cause it didnt make me money so now i gotta get my paycheck from them but im stressin goin in there to get it considering i left without any notice and just didnt show up for work and havent talked to them since how should i go get this check cause i wanna smoke weed and drink while i kill all at the lolympics???????
helllp...
hahahhah she might beat the shit out of me.. this is an italian resturant in venice in which i left hanging without a replacement i mean i have to go get it but it kinda trips me out.
Tell them you had an emergency. A family member died and you had a mental breakdown. Or you just had a mental breakdown, reasons unknown. Tell them you pulled a Britney Spears.
I quit a lot of jobs. They have to give you the checklegally and . they don't want any problems with ex-employees.
Trust that if you go there and politely ask for your check without bringing up any of the issues over why you left they will most likely give you a check right there or promise to send one in a reasonable amount of time.
If they scream at you and chew you out they are not worth worrying about. You had the balls to quit (good for you) you shouldn't have any problem listening to and middle management tirade and smiling.
Smile the whole time. Even if they get angry just smile and request the final paycheck and smile. Did i mention smile?..... cause they hate that more than anything. Smile.
Damn you stillline with your smart reasoning and actions. Don't let him do the right thing! Sh-youuuuz, be unprofessional about it. That's the way to go. ;P
shues-
my hat is awesome. you'll see, maybe even tonight.
also, don't be stressed about going in. the hardest part is quitting. who cares if they think poorly of you now, you don't work there anymore... and you obviously aren't using this place as a reference (well i assume).
is it trader joe's?
i had a dream last night that ridazz came from all over, many different bikes: small frames, large frames, fast bikes, fixed bikes, tall bikes, taller even bikes.. they were (these bikes of these ridazz) were tin foiled from top bar to fork and there was this strange, almost hypnotic, robotic noise that flowed once they began riding at a quickening pace together.. it was as loud as a train, but bigger even - like a swarm of bees but uncontrollably echoing throughout the streets of LA..
and in this dream, they all forged as one GIGANTIC robot-cyle-tall-fast-many ridazz bike.. and this bike took the streets and those that rode in this dream became.......
then i woke up and realized it hadn't happened yet.. yet..
see you guys tonight! SO SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in my dream we met at a place that was not quite east nor that much west.. it was green and and smelled of rides past, post parties and left over skeleton drawings from artists' drunk creativity with chalk.
in my dream we met early so that we could spend moar time with each other and and in unison became.......
then i woke up.. I CAN'T GET OUT OF BED!!!!!!!!!! i am still dreaming!
when is it going to be here?
there is a link, if you scroll up that jonnyboy posted and if you click it YOU WILL COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
climbing back into bed.. rest.. lots of rest needed for tonight.. back to the dream........
it's almost here.. warm and fuzzies is what i gotz at the last robotz ride.. this is different, even moar epic, more insane, moar, moar, moar!
in this dream we rode as one, the east and the west. in this dream we gathered early at a place with a history. in this dream we rewrote the books, the interwebs and our own futures. in this dream we created a love that by far surpasses any we had ever understood to know.. in this dream we existed together.. and in less then three hours we will make this dream a REALITY.
i'll see you on the streets, Ridazz! Ride On......
expo. park security officers. 1] fail for almost running over tiffany
2] fail for detaining and searching the rest of the people still left on the ride.
Got back to the yard and fired up the turbines by 0830.
I thought the whole deal with the State Officers was gayer than Liberace prancing down Vegas Blvd in a tutu.
But, it could've been much worse, luckily, cooler heads prevailed, and were eventually told to scamper off.
Parking structures are cool, but this is one of the few where we somehow ended on a basement level.
To be honest, I'll say we have no one, but ourselves to blame for that fury.
The reaction was a little, heavy-handed, but we got to take the heat when we're riding through the Valley of Fire.
So, along with look-outs, spotters and all those methods of LE-evasion, the next best thing would be to keep it to previous Robotz where resistance from S/O's, or LE was either light, or laughable.
Dockweiler State Beach, and high-rise, parking garages worked great.
I missed the negativity at the end of the night, but PROPS TO THE ORGANIZERS!!!! GREAT ROUTE!!! We need more rides through the `hood.'
Classic moments -
+ Random chick shouting out `midnight ridazz' at lemert park
+ Birthday chicks following in their car and pumping the music
+ Convention center showroom!?!?!??!
+ Robama!
Unclassic moment -
+ USC bro throwing a cruiser into the moving mob, and subsequently getting Reginald Denny'd with a bike.
the cops that came for me were chiller than them.
officer figeroua (sp?) was really kind to me the whole time and when my mom came he explained it wasn't a big deal... i guess trying to help me with the heat she was going to give me.
i don't know how im going to pay for that ticket you guys. FOR CURFEW. i turn 18 in like 3 weeks.
meh.
i had a lot of fun otherwise. ill probably talk about how amazing it was once im not so pissed. i just need cheering up and to have a great time tonight!
i saw you guys on my way to dinner last night, i had the driver yell out "ROBOTS!"
then on my way home i saw yo guys posted up at the rite-aid in the parking, and at the end of the block, there was a pool of cops gathering, i figured they were getting ready to pounce.
sounds like the authorities were hounding your asses last night!
hope everyone stayed warm, damn its been cold out lately
The authorities were most certainly not hounding our asses at all last night until the very end. This route was absolutely sick. I cannot explain in words. WOWOWOOWOWWOOW
The public safety guy was just overwhelmed, and what would have been a quick "everyone go home" from the LAPD turned into a freaked out officer who thought he had to deal with a 20+ person gang possibly carrying weapons. Once I put myself in his shoes, I understood that he might have been shitting his pants a 'lil bit.
Still, it sucks that names were taken and that Gabby got a ticket- but overall after it was over I was elated. Then Denny's French Toast Slam® proved to be GREAT SUCCESS before pacelining it back to Venice with a few other of my West side peeps!!
Thanks for the amazing route & amazing sights! Holy fuckin' shit!
I dreamt about you guys last night and I fell out of bed twice...
I had a nightmare about Robots in a parking structure and zombies and the end of the world! And the only people that were left were Ridazz! It was kinda freaky. Nicole was there, Jazz, Gabriella, John-boy, Justin, Lex Luthor? (Srsly). We were at the top of the parking structure trying to hit sub level to ride to the ends of the world? Wherever that is. OH! And there was vaginas with Granite in them. Strange. We lost several people down the parking structure (That had cat faces all over the walls). Because they were killed by Robots!! And some more trippy shit that just had me rattled. Come 12 minutes ago.
Nevertheless...DOPE MOTHAFUCKING RIDE! BOMBAY ROUTE! WH00! It was the best. So dope, just so dope. Although Epic fail on the fall.
the amazing part of the "security situation" was that the REAL LAPD weren't even dicks when they arrived. as we were leaving they were giving us heads up to have our lights on once we get down the parking garage so that we wouldn't get a ticket - not that it mattered - but we did get a way with A LOT OF FUCKED UP SHIT ON THIS RIDE.......
It was just security at the end.. maybe we stayed one song too much - but it was really entertaining.
MOST EPIC - having the security officer walk each person to use the bathroom - where did you go? the bushes?
"MOST EPIC - having the security officer walk each person to use the bathroom - where did you go? the bushes?"
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! Sounds awesome!
Sounds like you guys had an amazing night.
I don't know how, but I managed to do some homework and fall asleep while doing it before 11pm last night. Totally missed going out and trying to meet up with the ride.
NEXT ROBOZZZZZ IMZ THEREZ
wow, you are so right about the crime factor of public urination. I just thought it was fucking funny that we got away with that. I think the first public safety guy that came was the only one that really had a problem with us. All the others seemed to not care much.
Good pace
Dance party with fuzzbeast's puppets
Cuddling/napping while we waited to be released
Ride thru convention center. yes!!!
Plenty of parking lot ramps
<3Chalk<3
Roboticizing
Falling into bed well after the sun rose
Thanx Steven for looking out for my straggling ass before we got to the convention center. much appreciated!
So, R0B0TZ!!11one was basically the best ride ever. So much great stuff. Fuck yeah, bikes.
Racing on the track, happy berfdays, crackhead in the fountain, ROBAMA, liquor store public service announcements, HUSTLE, grapes, Convention Center, protein bars, dance party, fifteen foot tall vagina, "There's profanity everywhere! It says 'Let's go fuck!' and 'Robots c-crush'. I...oh.", nothing like a clean getaway, Denny's, sunrise.
The only thing that sucked was riding down Sepulveda at 9 this morning into a headwind on my way home.
That, and the fact that there isn't a R0B0TZ ride every fucking day.
Newbie here. It was great meeting y'all. I have to say INSIDE THE CONVENTION CENTER WAS AWESOME. I felt like I was 12 years old again causing havoc but not vandalising anything just your basic trespassing. hahahaha. Great meeting everyone. I am going to try to make it out to as many rides as I can. Thanks. - Mas

Ridazz Roulette!
