This is a thread were you can post you C.R.A.N.K MOB 1 year birthday experience, Tell us the high's and thell us the low's.
here is mine.
My crank mob 1 year birthday went rather swell, i road to the normal spot to see a good group of 100 people, after 10 minets of conversing i tern around to see another 150 people, AND THEN, while standing next to the curb suddenly the HUGE RV PULLS UP BLASTING BRAIN FRYING ELCTRONIC MUSIC, As we all stand in pure amazement the door flys open and out comesRICHHHEEE. After riding for a while we get to cosco were we play all of our oh so young games and draw on the groud with chawk, time flys by, and i get a call from my mother saying you have to be home by one, i was very upset as you may understand, i ride home and arrive spot on 1 oclock get all ready for bed and then call up a riderrr and she says that the group is at albertsons, i jump out of bed grab my bike sneak out of the front door and speed up to albertsons witch is 5 minets away. after dancing, dranking, and riding the smallest childrens bike i could find 3 oclock comes up and i decide to leave, i have had enough so i road home, on my way home riding smoothly with no cars in site, suddenly 4 little raccons slowly strut across the road and as i ride by for some strange reason i said c.r.a.n.k mob and the raccons disepered into the trees.
thank you, and goodnight. ha

Awww popciclekid!!! That is a lovely C.R.A.N.K MOB story! You should tell it to your kids someday when you bust them for sneaking out... and the moral of the story is.... racoons can't understand what Brits are saying. The End ;)

HIGHLIGHT:
at sawtelle and la grange:
hundreds of ridazz have gathered.. most rode in groups over 50 from the east and the south.. beers were handed, things were smoked.. ridazz that haven't ridden in awhile showing their painted faces, new ridazz with looks of confusion on the verge of excitement.. the ridazz that have been to every single CRANK MOB with smiles a mile wild.
and in a paused moment, a hush fell over the crowd as music crept its way up the street.. THE BOX not only appeared but made the most awesomeness entrance - and the RIDAZZ FREAKED and the energy built from the back to the front like a wave of F!U!N!
this is how the night began.. this is how the night was had.. this was how the C.R.A.N.K. MOB became moar.. EPIC!

highs: seeing all my beautiful friends faces.
the wind against my cheeks.
cuddling.
SHOUTING.
not falling.
CRANK CAT.
feeling.
my favorite moment was at the second stop. i rode around the side of the market and there was this little strip of concrete next to the freeway. the only noise was that of the passing cars. it was totally deserted and beautiful. I stood there watching the oncoming traffic and felt content.
lows: none.

Highs: being picked up on the tandem tall bike from LAX thirty min after I arrived from London! Mating with two giant nachodeers at the second stop! Jumproping on only my hindlegs! Finally installing and using the suicide doors on my bike! Ramming my forehead into the bank vault and using the gold inside to buy everyone candy! Teaching a flock of racoons to beware of anyone that yells CRANK MOB!
Lows: I didnt pull out!
I AM CRANK MOB

high: seeing everyoneee, nicki & hanako dancing, the sensory overload that was every stop, in n out w/ victoria/chris/elizabeth before everyone showed at the costco stop, the box being awesome, being throughly amused at roadblock saying the most random stuff non stop in the box, cinco de mayo, the police being crazy hilarious.

high: being high on crack mob
low: the "hurt" in the "hurts so good" feeling in your body because crank mob swims in your blood and you can't get rid of it until the josse is all out and the bruises and sprains and fractures are healed. but still whats crank mob with out that? and wait back up a second.. is it really the last one?

Realistically, the less riding at C.R.A.N.K. Mob, the better. Less stupid crashes that way.

Haha, no kidding. The riding yesterday was particularly bad - I'm glad no one seems to have been seriously hurt.

@CCB
Was it a red blinky? I found one on the ground in the middle of the D.A.N.C.E. party at the Sepulveda stop. Yelled, "Is this anyone's light?" No answer. Put it in the box.
Check with Richtotheie.

I have to say this was the best CRANK MOB yet. I loved seeing the westsiderz again we got to FUCK BRETT's MOM all night, Richies RV was the shit. I remember being at a ralphs and seeing the guy with a tall bike that leads valley rides (tallcans4tallbikes?) and kept thinkg "wow we rode all the way to the valley?"... I got really hammered and don't remember much but i do remember one thing: jousting. Uncle Richard (from the westside) pushed me in a shoping cart i think i got hit in the face and my knee is now very swollen (i even have a cart inprint bruse on my knee too!) and i scratched up my arm but it was damn well worth it. Apparently I was hitting on a girl (i know who it is but i ain't sayin') and was tell Drew i was going to bring her home with me and if he was down he could play too...after jousting the next thing i remember is waking up at home in the same clothes at 2pm in the afternoon wondering how i got there. Then suddlenly i remember the gum kid (i think his name is kyle) I wonder if he made it home i hope so...i would hate to think we lost our new 15 year old .. THANKS EVERYONE this was awesome! I Can't wait for photos maybe i will remember more

at 5am, it felt more like 2am - which in a way is a low point, cause i wanted the night to keep on going.. where did the time go.. we were srsly in a parrallel universe!

Crank mosh pit was intense. I was taking turns between fixing a flat and the pit. someone wrapped me up in that huge quilt and I couldn't get out or stand straight, i had to bear hug someone the whole time just to keep my balance (I'm sure that was a traumatic experience for the other guy) but how fucking funny.
Coming back to our cars only to find out one of them wouldn't start, but we used the MATTER OF SCIENCE to fix it, and the MATTER OF SCIENCE prevailed!!
mixed very berry voddy drinks with fancy cups is the JAM.
I usually have a bad feeling after the other crank mob's cause I for some reason get to witness most of the bad shit that happens. But this time it was different, very different. I had an amazing time.
