what up Ridazz.... I'm personally not going to be available to plan May's 2nd friday ride. there are plenty of organizers out there who might want to take the horns.... anyone got ideas/initiative/bicycle love let it be known on this thread.

"no more movie themes for this year."???

Are you going to let the ridazz organize this thing, or what? Do I have a witness?!

seriously, though... themes are easy.

what we need are ideas for rides! new and interesting routes. Not just routes, but cool stops and ending points. Games have proven to be fun for the vets. Less complicated and easier rides for the newbies. Midnight RIdazz IS the premier night bike ride in LA, if not the world. So we should always consider that there will be tourists on the rides. We already have the small drunk rides (Sins*Sprockets, Cruzz with Us, etc). We have the hardcore go-as-fast-as-you-can rides (Wolfpack, Badger Song, Cubpack, etc). We have tons of rides all month, with Club & Gang rides, RideArc, Critical Mass, etc. Plus all the Alleycat & Messenger Races... rides for days...

Let's think outside the box. Don't listen to Roadblock (jk, not really) because he isn't going to be on the ride anyway.

Ideas! ideas!? Anyone?

Ride Ideas!!! God Damn It!

Themes are easy, and Roadblock is going to pick the theme regardless of what you want it to be. But, armed with the knowledge that he can't organize it, we should come up with ride IDEAS! as in where to go, what to do, who to blow, what to eat, where to piss, and what-not.

hey now I'm just starting a dialog. you guys can pick the theme all that stuff.... only thing I said was that movie themes are too easy.... here's one more thing... keep it simple! this is your ride! who's the point person on this? I will transfer the event listing to their name so they can take over editing. hey, considering the final cash race is happening that night, you might want to start it in downtown also!

hmm, the DADA ride...

we bring a map to the start, throw stuff at it, where the points land, we somehow make a route to it... then halfway through we do it again!
we also bring cardboard, duct tape, random materials and make our costumes on the spot.

Noise makers a plus, especially handmade and absurd ones.

Hey FuzzBeast. Maybe if this happens, we can put up some whacked out signs when we go through downtown.

How about:

THE PHOTO OP RIDE

We roll though spots that work well for photo and video eithier because of lighting, vantage point, background, or fantastic spectacle.

Photographers and Videographers will help design the ride.
Anybody with a camera gets a special routslip that has shortcuts so that the shooters can get ahead of the ride and into position.

This ride will happen eventually and I would love for it to be a Ridazz ride.. If there is interest in doing this for the next 2nd friday ride, I'll commit to coordinating with photographers and help design and test the route.




trickmilla
04.17.07 - 3:43 pm

reply


That's cool Trick.

How does the idea work for ALL of the Ridazz? What if we incorporate the Photo Op Idea for those shotting and those who aren't can bring to it the Spectacle? Unless you are just hoping the spectacle be a generic bike ride. I mean, what if Ridazz were encouraged to let their freak flag fly and also prepareit in areas for the best Photo Op conditions?

What do you say?



Joe Borfo
04.17.07 - 3:55 pm

reply


How about an East L.A. route that goes from Union Station east to LA Community College and back?

I'm sure you've got plenty of ideas for a Mexican or Chicano theme.



thinkpeace
04.17.07 - 4:19 pm

reply


so far, in my opinion, the best rides proposed are:
the DADA ride -my personal favorite
the Tourist ride
the Photo Op ride- could incorporate the tourist ride (most of the tourist spots are great photo ops)
the Chicano/a ride

these are all great ideas, and should probably be done at some time or another, but hey we have an assload of rides ahead of us in the future, so they should end up happening anyway.

and I think what trickmilla was saying for the photo op ride is that those with cameras get an abbreviated route so they can get from point to point faster so they can set up their gear and/or lighting or whatever.
for that route, as awesome as it is, I would suggest avoiding the building downtown, the 100 building I think it is, the security there nearly shat bricks (they were getting on the phone to call the cops) when we stopped in there on the last LACM to take the group picture... and there was maybe what 40 of us?

Good points borfo ...

i don't think the Ridazz need more than a gental nudging to get freaky and create spectacle.

My main inspirations are:
a) Its a pain in the ass to get good shots when you are trying to keep up with the ride.

b) I'm guessing that the mass media will catch on to MR any day now and before they do, it would be great to create some situations where we can represent ourselves with epic, graphic, and iconic images that really show what we do beyond the typical on-the-fly ride shots and the hanging out at 7-11 shots.

Of course that will include some ridazz hamming it up for the camera and acting like freaks

Hey, just to let you know we have been doing a 3 race series and will be having our final event on May 11th which will be a relay race with teams on an undecided amount of riders. It would be awsome to show some love to your L.A. courriers and riders alike and try and coordinate something with riders this night. In addition we are going to have an afterparty for this race as well. The flyer is above for race #2 which will be held on April 27th. Also check these links below to future races and bike events!

I really appreciate Midnight Ridazz getting invited to the race. I'm thinking we should make the May 11th ride centered on the race. It will introduce some new RIdazz to the messenger community and the races. If nothing else, it will unify the bicycle community in general. Imagine the amount of bicycle spectators lining the streets, in support of the race. Then after the race, we ALL saddle up, ride loops around downtown, and all end up at the afterparty. I think it'd be awesome.

that is just an idea.

amen.

I'm not proposing this for the 11th, but one of these days I want to put on:

The CUSS LIKE A LONGSHOREMAN RIDE.

This would be my small way of paying back all the LA/Hollywood/Valley/Highland Park/Whatever riders for showing me their neighborhoods on all the rides I've attended. The ride would start in Long Beach and take everybody on a tour of the parts of the huge Los Angeles/Long Beach mega-port complex that are accessible to bicycles (i.e., through Wilmington and my home town of San PEEEdro). Expect lots of giant hissing refinery steampipes, eerily quiet piers and docks, ginormous containerships, unused warehouses, active warehouses, tractor-trailer trucks, railroad tracks, actual trains, fishing boats, fishing nets, and people on bicycles (that's you).

The ride would start kind of early and end up back in Long Beach in time for people to catch the last Blue Line back to LA. This is to encourage people to come down here for the ride without having to drive. Ridazz would be encouraged to dress like longshoremen (traditional or modern), sailors, pirates, or fishermen, or just cuss a lot. Anybody interested? Hmm?

Yo! What about a South L.A. jazz ride? Aren't there some really good jazz clubs in that part of the City? Or we could tour Baldwin Hills or Ladera Heights or something. Downtown L.A. is cool and all, but that shit is getting tired.

Liemert Park is worth a ride-through, no?

Well, this won't really be a Long Beach ride; I'm just starting and ending it in LB so that people from LA who don't want to ride or drive can take the Blue Line there and back. This will be a straight up waterfront ride, all harbor all the time.

Anyway, I agree with the good reverend Borfo that the May 11th ride should be downtown so that people can crash the street race. The CUSS LIKE A LONGSHOREMAN RIDE will be on some other date.

But if you're wondering what the ride in Long Beach is like, please note that an "I <3 Long Beach" ride has been posted for tonight (Wednesday the 18th). I have no idea who's running it, but it's a bike ride, with bikes and riding.

i love the idea of a bicycle community SOLIDARITY ride where we swarm the race and then all cruise out together....

let's combine that with some of the other suggestions on this thread and create a ride through that routes through different neighborhood (other than downtown...)

that way, the ridazz and the messengers could get together to explore fresh new ground together and feel that solidarity, bruthas and sistas!

i want to get more involved with route planning/scouting and help out! time to step it up.

Am I the only Pastafarian?

The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) Missouri State University Chapter is having their Noodlefest 2007 on May 9th, 2007! Now, most ridazz won't be able to observe our Holy Noodleness fest on a Wednesday night--however I'm sure His Noodleness will bless us if we do a Friday night ride. Such as May 11th.....

Now if you have no idea what I'm talking about--I suggest you go to venganza.org and read up.

I suggest the ride would consist of the following:

1.) Dressing up like his Noodleness. Although pasta shouldn't be used unless you plan on eatting it or sharing with others. I would suggest fun-do-noodles...you know, those things you use in the pool.

2.) Spreading the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (although do not disobey his Noodly Goodness eight 'I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts' like acting like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou ass.

3.) Dressing up like pirates to fight global warming.

And that's all I have at the moment.

Let me know what you think. Peace and noodles.

Melissa

dude, the Flying Spaghetti Monster rocks! I've known about Pastafarianism for quite some time, great shit... it could be a fun idea... although I do like the solidarity theme too.

I'm still down for the DADA idea too...

If it's going to be downtown, let's do a Pac-Man Ride! Some can be Ghosts, and some can be Pac-Ridazz! Since downtown is essentially a grid, we can do the whole ride there, and make a game of it or something...

Gotta think about this one.

I'm starting to tire of the masquerade on wheels thing every week or two. Don't get me wrong, it has borne great results and I love and respect those freaky people who like to to let it show. But really, I just love to ride and my very favorite rides are the ones that take us to interesting environs.

Do we have a point person? Is it time to conduct a vote?
We have just short of 2 weeks to make it happen.

Can anybody suggest a voting mechinisim other than the messieness of us all posting individuallly? perhaps a trusty point person would be willing to accept direct emails and do the tabulation.


from my count these are the rides that were nominated and seconded:

tourist
Sock it to em'
Dada
photo op
east l.a. chicano/a theme
international
community/ solidarity
pastafarian
pac man
cuss like longshormen

there also seems to be strong support for starting in/near DT so people can attend the race.

I've already withdrawn the CUSS LIKE A LONGSHOREMAN ride from consideration on the 11th due to the race downtown (there would be no way for people to do both). I will be doing this on a future date TBA, so get your colorful vocabularies ready and prepare to ride the waterfront.

Yes, I strongly vote in favor of structuring the ride so that we can at least view (or participate?) in the race.

As usual. I'm willing to help with spoke card manufacture.

Reach out ride,

One of our very own, Richtotheie, is doing the AIDS ride in June. Why don't we just say fuck the costumes and everybody kick down $5 or whatever they can afford and send one of our own to participate. This would be a great chance to "expose ourselves" to the larger community. I think we could drum up interest from people who would't normally join us.

From About Us:

What Midnight Ridazz is:
-Fun
-Friendships
-Non Confrontational
-Family
-Compassionate
-Open - Minded
-Multi-cultural

I think that would just about hit the nail on the head. It's not really hip or iroinc, though I'd like to see us break our record for biggest ride. we could meet by the fountain by Griffith Park and just blast through there, much less traffic for the newbs to deal with and people get lost, they just head downhill until they find Los Feliz blvd.

To participate in the Aids ride you must raise $2500; I bet we could hit that in one nigjht if we told enough people. Maybe have 4 mini-rides and charge $1 each for spoke cards. Most of us could afford a couple bucks. We would need to have a cool route, though...

Samhain ... I appreciate the spirit and i think its a good idea ... but if we were to use a MR ride to rase funds why not direct the money to one of our own in need?

In the past few months we have seen several of our own ridazz face medical, legal, and bike repair expenses from run ins with cars, the law, or just plain 'ol cycling accidents.

I think it is a terrific idea to do a fundraiser to send 1 or more ridazz to rep us on the Aids ride.

However, in my humble opinion I think that if an OFFICIAL MR ride was to be used to raise money that money should use to directly help out one of or more of our own suffering from a bike related financial, medical, or legal crisis.

i am all about the photo op ride.. it seems like the MR talent would be put to use very well, while allowing the freaks to come out at night! Look at how the races went down WITHOUT any planning! GREAT PICS, it felt like a set! let the players play!.. very LA, TOTALLY WORLD CLASS !...nicely played Trick!

Everyone should give Richie $5 anyway. Cheap bastidzz..

I'll give everyone $5 if they pick the Photo Op Ride TONIGHT so the designers can get to work on planning it!! (10 DAYS...tick...tock...tick..

I like dada too.
Very apropriate for the spirt of MR and also for these crazy times.
I'm really loving these rides that have alternative routes. like the awesome toy ride and the beautifully chaotic bike zone created by the warriorzz ride. It would be awesome if we could devise some irrational system for breaking ridazz apart and rejoining at some point.

Dont' worry, you can still wear your Hugo Ball outfit

It would be very Dada if, instead of riding, we all showed up and plucked our spokes simultaneously.

I'm up for that, but if we are going dada i'd rather we decide the route first, perferabley inspred by some dada shenanigans.
If we are gonna do dada lets do it right ... every ride is a photo op and there are plenty of other opportunities to do the photo op thing.

that said if our dada ride take us through downtown perhaps we can stop under the foot bridge or somthing and take an awesome group shot.

There seems to be trouble deciding.

I strongly urge we start at the Olvera street plaza, then we ride to attend and support the relay race, and, afterwards, we do a fun ride to the after party. And, lastly, we make it DADA for your mama...

1. We need volunteers to help with the route.
2. We need people to help make spoke cards.
3. What else do we need? oh yeah.. We need lots of people to come on their Bicycles and RIDE!

If I can get a hell yeah from you guys.then I'll post it on the MR Calendar.
Unless I hear a bunch of objections, LETS RIDE!

Roadblock do you want me to make another one, or could you put this info into your previous calendar post?

Now that we seem to have the idea pretty much established, thanks to everyone; Are there those of you who like to help with the logistics and creative part? C'mon we're all in this together. Let's make this work.

Okay. I hate to be so annoying, but I just want to see this moving along. Help?

Perhaps take this conversation to a private post for those who want to get involved and not spoil the details for everyone? - Just a thought. - joe.borfo@gmail.com

Even though we are going with the DADA/ relay race deal, I think it's not a big issue if you and Richie were to find a point to talk about the aids ride and request for some support. For sure, I'm going to help Richie out.

I'm still going to do the CUSS LIKE A LONGSHOREMAN ride. If anything, I'm going to make it more Wilmington/San Pedro-centric. There's nothing like riding that otherworldly connector road between the Marina and Cabrillo Beach late at night when you're not supposed to be there (shhh!). And the CLAL will be pure Ridazz style, just us and no escorts.

Not to knock the RIDEArc ride at all. I plan to be there, with bells on!

(But not, you know, literally, with bells on me or anything.)

That's at least a 30 mile ride and it's not flat. Besides the start time for the LB ride is 8:30 so you all would have to leave early and haul ass...

This is not to discourage you from trying but it seems like a lot of work.
