EFF CORE ELITISM
Thread started by
tortuga_veloce at 01.30.09 - 1:11 pm
I thought MR was all about inclusion. If you ask me, we're all elites. And if we're all elites, then none of us are. Were not even elite next to the cars, because the majority of us drive at least some of the time. (Props to all of you who can live without a car)
I propose a revolution against the core elite. They must be toppled from power, and stopped from doing whatever it is that they do elitistly!
Westside for the people!
The Core Elitists must fall!
Westside for all!
reply
eff the westside - isn't that just replacing the powers that be with hippies?
eff elitism. im the best.

How, tortuga velce, has the 'core elite' harmed you?
What is the 'core elite,' anyways?

I started Core Elite. I can dispense Core Elite status in return for certain "favors." What do you say? Are you in? If you can't beat us, join us. Fight to change the system from the inside. Or at least keep telling yourself that.

The ones known as Core EliteĀ® are not the ones you speak of as "Westside". Its a group of the most important leading figures in Bicycle, no, American, no, World History. I am of course included. Its not our fault you're not important enough to become Core EliteĀ®. Perhaps you were just raised poorly, or have genetic deficiencies that simply can't be overcome. Either way, please refrain from muddying our invitation-only rides.

whats this westside bullshit all about?! the point was that it's time for the new generation to come of age... it has nothing to do with GEOGRAPHY (even though this shit was started on the BEASTSIDE BEYOTCHES!!!) and everything to DO with DO-OGRAPHY.... and the new generation is doing it large in every part of LA. The Pokemon ride was a perfect example of this. I really enjoyed myself even though I felt like a fucken old man haha it was a classic old school feeling ride and it's a trip see a whole new generation take it whatever positive loving nurturing direction its going to go.... so EFF THE ELITE CORE!!

man, i'm so glad i have friends outside of biking.
i've always hoped "core elite" was a joke, but it seems like some people actually take this shit serious.
elitism is a false sense of importance.
we're all equal, but people have to act like they're better than others.

its all a big tongue and cheek affair. there is of course those that organize and put their soul into planning a ride, but the joke is that ANYONE can be motivated enough to do it, there is no filter or vetting system under that "add a ride" button... so go DO something and be C0r3 L33t

haters wanna hate. perhaps someone has a view of the CORE ELITEĀ® sitting around in leather chairs by a fire sipping brandy snifters and smoking cigars and they want a taste.
if there is such a place, I WANT TO BE CORE ELITEĀ®
non-elitists want to be elitists, or whatever that means anyway.
RIDE A BIKE, make a ride, pass it along, tell people, have FUN. period.

sounds like somebody is upset they didn't get invited to my
Birthday Party
Seriously. Before the CORE ELITEĀ® found themselves, there was The Bike Mafia. Many of you may never have heard of The Bike Mafia before. They and the bike mafia's disciples still exist, but made a purpose decision to longer be part of the ride. There are still active in the bicycle community in their own way. (sorry I can't tell you more about them)
In time the CORE ELITEĀ® will fade away and a new group will take its place. You may not know it, but it has and is taking shape for the past six months. It takes some time for it to comes to its full formation and it will develop more, once it is realized. The CORE ELITEĀ® will move on (as it is in the process of doing) and it replacement will be. You may not even realize that you are becoming that replacement now. Some day you will think back on this post and realize, "here we are, we are that new cabal Sexy was talking about"

Aqueous Atom
although the CORE ELITEĀ® doesn't necessarily smoke cigars and sip brandy in leather chairs, the CORE ELITEĀ®
does something very similar. Perhaps you have witnessed it before and didn't realize it was the CORE ELITEĀ® doing their own version of what you wrote about.

The funniest part of the shift is that the new Cabal will be referring to the CORE ELITEĀ®, as if they are still the ones (even though they have moved on) and the new Cabal is actually the new CORE ELITEĀ®, the new Bike Mafia.

Core elite is awesome for the simple reason that the only reliable way into the core elite is to show up to lots and lots of rides, particularly the smaller rides where you can actually meet new people and such. If there is crap weather, so much the better.

and i see what sexy is saying.
the bike mafia... i still talk to a couple of them (Deanna where you at?) one of them throws a ride once a month still.
make your own versions of the core elite. core elite to me is the group of people you find yourselves riding with time and again, ride in ride out, who got your back. eventually, everyone gets older... start making lives and creating lives... and pretty much grow older.
new groups are always there to recreate something similar.
everyone ride on.

I stopped going on MR at ride 18 for that very reason. The people that started it wanted it to be a small exclusive thing. It got too big and they wanted to curtail their numbers, which I thought was not good so I quit.

In complete disbelief that this thread is still going. But, OK.
āAlways remember the first rule of power tactics: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.ā
I think the Core Elite is winning. Look how much power you are giving them. They are winning. Fail #4.
āThe greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.ā
Epic Fail #5.

On one hand, I feel compelled to respond to such smug idiocy, a tyranny of repetitive, moronic imagery.
One the other, a recognition, that threads like these are inherently stupid, and therefore, does not merit involvement, other than a passing glance, and a brief, sense of smug superiority at not getting involved in elementary school games involving insecure scenester cyclist, and the so called "core elite" [presumably those who dominate these forums and/or litter these threads with repetitive semi-retarded animals, or brain damaging media pollution.] having a field day with those unlucky enough to have a passing interest in such a tedious and banal thread.
And right in the middle is a drunk guy who feels he can say something meaningful, knowing that said ridazz celebrities can one-up at any given moment, taking comfort knowing that he can have a totally enjoyable ride that doesn't need a crowd of drunk morons around him, or a boring theme involving some sort of mental anarchism or some bullshit.
Thanks, beer!
