C.R.A.N.K. MOB
Thread started by

Here's the deal. Let me be very forward....
The ONLY way that we can keep C.R.A.N.K. MOB going is if people learn to party RESPONSIBLY.
We don't throw this ride to babysit everyone who drinks and smokes too much. Nor is it to completely ruin
our once "good" reputation with the COPS with all the new cases of THEFT, GRAFFITI, VANDALIZATION,
and the instigation with Police and car drivers.
THIS "WAS" CRANK MOB:
LAPD AND CRANK MOB
LAPD AND CRANK MOB 2
We can shape up and make this ride, which is pretty much the largest non-demonstration ride in THE
WORLD, the way it's supposed to be by not inviting the COPS with stupid decisions and keeping it all PARTY
TIME! Just remember, your actions on the ride effect on EVERYONE... Ok now lets funk this city.
::::::::::::::::::::::::THIS MONTHS RIDE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Summer is SEXY and it's here like the 80's used to be.
Get your funky bathing suits/summer stroll outfits on and be ready to thrash at this radical ride. IT's THE
JAM!
For rules and safety guidelines, read the C.R.A.N.K. MOB GROUP PAGE
This is not a fast ride and is for EVERY TYPE OF BIKE and BIKER.
Bring your own drinks and food as there won't be any stops at stores.
Most importantly, BRING THE F.U.N.
whats that?
BEACH BALLS
JUMP ROPES
SIDEWALK CHALK
WATER BALLOONS
SILLY STRING
BULLHORNS
PARTY POPPERS
CRAZY OUTFITS
There's a limited # of Spoke Cards and you can only get one if you DRESS UP!
THE START:
WESTWOOD PARK (Sepulveda Entrance)
GOOGLE MAPS
MEET AT 9:30
RIDE AT 10:00

didn't your green pake have purple wheels or something? I remember thinking of the hulk or something...
Oh, yeah and are you really going to be that ignorant? Shit talking on a ride posting? Make a separate thread about how much you hate it if it means that much to you.

YOU'RE IGNORANT! I LOVE CRANK MOB! FUCK CRANK MOB! I'LL BE THERE!
I had a purple frame with a celeste front wheel and a white rear.
DEATH TO CRANK MOB! LONG LIVE CRANK MOB!

Recyclebike® will be there. Please make sure your cans and bottles are REALLY REALLY *ACTUALLY* empty. Every time I bring the Recyclebike® to a ride some assclown puts a half drank beer in there and soaks my all of my shit in cheap mexican beer. Not only is it a waste of beer, but it is a huge pain in the ass for me. Don't be that guy.
If you litter in any way, at any spot, you will be castrated. Cereally Joo guis, eye meen it.
Warning complete. As you were, soldier!

L.A.P.D. were awesome! srsly. i saw them cork at least two intersections for us. not sure why the idiot on the red bike was yelling 'swine flu' at them while they were helping us out. amateurs...
kurtz05.17.09 - 11:01 am

Usually a good Crank Mob is denoted by a long list of "Why" questions. These are a few that went through my mind last night.
Why do I have white face paint on my face
Why do I have no voice left
"Why do these girls look so good in the summer"
Why is the back of my bike wrapped up in plastic food wrap
Why do I keep having recurring visions of a 4x tall bike slowly making its way through a crowd a people
Why do I have photos of a chopper with searchlights flying overhead on my phone??
Having LAPD officers be so friendly throughout was eerie. And Beautiful. I don't understand how Santa Monica PD rolled through 4-5 times and left us alone. I hope we get the same treatment next month.
Thank you Crank Mob. Thank you Richie. And thank you to all the people that rode, jumproped, ate bacon wrapped hot dogs, jumped around, danced, played volleyball, and screamed for absolutely no reason (those 2 girls on Barnard Way). Free fun.

Great ride, especially the first leg. If only each leg was like that.. nice long cruise. Oh, well, maybe next time...
What happened to having food at each of the stops? I was looking forward to some danger dogs. Oh well, Kogi definitely made my night. And big thanks to the ridazz (and cops) that corked for us!

Until a few months ago, I used to tell myself "that was the best CRANK MOB ever," every month. Then there were the troubles and I started wondering if we could even do this anymore.
I'm so glad to see this ride safe, clean and fun again. I think it's safe to say,
BEST CRANK MOB EVER!!!!!

Well, looks like the transition from liquor-stops to FARP(Forward Area Rearming Platforms) made an ass-load of difference when it came to public treatment.
Wasn't there last night, but after hearing how it gradually changed from a few months back, I've already called the captain and told him I'm taking that weekend off.
