Thread Box:
Some constructive criticism of Crank Mob.
Thread started by glugglug at 10.23.08 - 5:13 pm

I love MR and Crank Mob, but I've noticed that the ride has slowly been changing over the last 3-4 months. When I first started riding CM, we'd ride a minimum of 25-30 miles before looping around the starting point, usually around 2-3 AM.

Lately though, the ride seems to be shifting away from... well... the riding. The last few rides tapered off around 15 miles, with the last one ending with about 13.5 miles by 2 AM. Each stop seems longer than the last. We spent around 45 minutes in the parking lot of an Albertsons (no jousting, just hanging out). It's cool to dance and hang around for a bit, but it seems like the ride is shifting towards partying more, and riding less.

I may be alone in this, but I just thought I'd put it out there and see what the consensus was. CM is still an incredible ride and I love everyone who makes it happen. I just wish we could ride a bit more.

Love.

Create the next ride. Make it happen! Everyone has the ability to do this.

larsen is semi-right.

crank mob is a party ride. there are many other rides that concentrate on mostly riding. go to those as well.

i got ahead of myself, i just meant if you want to ride more there are more distance oriented rides and more chill and party type rides.



larsenf
10.23.08 - 5:29 pm

yeah i would have to raise my hand and say "i" to this notion too.

for sooooo many reasons.
heres a few i can think of
1. stop time=drink time
2. drink time=dumb times
3. dumb times=fail times
4. fail times=epic fail times

but blabbing on the forum will only go so far, i think as the seasons change, and it get colder, riding more will naturally take over, to stay warm. but that being said, i think we can come up some creative solutions like:

HAVING AN ALARM CLOCK GO OFF (attatched to a bull horn) at 15 minutes, letting everyone know its time to saddle up and take the caravan to the next camp. one thats really annoying, so people will just be driven out to escape the sound. (im thinking the classic wake-up radio/clock type we had in our formative school years, to harken back to the painful memories of our akward teenage years)

LETTING EVERYONE KNOW HOW LONG WE WILL BE STOPPING FOR, so we dont get too comfy, or buy that 24 pack thats too heavy to carry

HAVING A BROWN CROWN WITH A SNAIL ON IT, AND ONE OF THOSE KNAPPY MULLET WIGS HOTGLUED TO IT or something that gets placed on the last straggler to leave the spot, as incentive to hustle out

prob. is the long distance rides are sup fast paced.
there should be a balance, plus u can always socialize on your bike.

there were maybe ten or fifteen of us riding to koreatown from the chinatown station on a thursday night last month. someone rolled a red light as the other lights were going from green to yellow in front of a cop and we were detained. even though there was no trailer for music or people wearing silly costumes, the police assumed that we were a "party ride", or on our way to a "party ride".

what does that say about the state of bicycle culture in los angeles?

i think targeting the music bringers is key, the party follows the music, so if we could get the music to roll out quick, then undoubtedly, the mob will tow in its wake

@ neverclever:

you are correct, there was no C.R.A.N.K. MOB this week.

------

C.R.A.N.K. MOB is what it is and what you bring to it you make of it.
that's it.

each ride is of its own making and doing. the leaders of said rides put together the best that they can. maybe there are less miles and longer stops because we have been pushing numbers and not everyone that comes to CRANK MOB comes to all the other rides, it has become a special social ride. i mean, think about it, have you seen 500 people at any other ride of the week like that? no, which means it brings in non-ridazz as well as ridazz. so it's becoming the ridazz that ride that night.

i suggest you look into ROBOTZ. it's longer, a lot longer and the stops aren't that long either and it's wayyyy fun and well, look up the old threads and read about it.

if neither of the above applies for, i say create your own ride. go for it. make sure it doesn't conflict with another ride already planned as you would want to get the numbers up there as well. ask for help if you need it.. but go to ROBOTZ, you won't be disappointed and come back to C.R.A.N.K. MOB for what it is and make it happen.

Midnight Ridazz is like a big buffet. Any night of the week we can choose from about 5 rides (if not more), and theres always going to be one that suits your tastes. if you dont like to drink on rides, then dont go on party rides. if you do, then go to them.

BUT, this is a COMMUNITY, AND we all need to realize how our choices affect the greater whole. lets all use our hive minds here, if modern society hasnt destroyed our instincts yet.

we all know the solution, but not much is going to change i dont think. the masses have a mind of their own, and MR is definaelty swelling by the hour it seems. Im gonna cut the bullshit here and come out and say it. I found + fell in love with Midnight Ridazz becuase i needed a break from STRUCTURED LIFE. i needed to run away from the routine and monotony that had become my life, and the chaotic, uncontrollable swarm swooped me up, and i found the outlet i was desperately needing.
But as all things change, im finding myself back into a routine of party riding, and it takes more riding to get me that same rush of wellbeing from a good workout, and drinking only numbs it. SO personally, i think im transitioning to different kind of rider, and the opportunities to make this crossover are here in the community with rides like ROOT, and even ROBOTZ, WOLFPACK, CUBCAMP, BICYKILLERS, RACOONS, the CENTURY rides, etc. I think there needs to be a mix, more importantly, a BALANCE of differnt types of rides, not ALL sober rides, or ALL party rides.

So lets all stop complaining, its useless, it makes you look like an asshole, and just makes a rip in the community. LEAD BY EXAMPLE. FOREVER.
VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLAR!!!

Kind of agree with the initial post here - a big part of the reason I don't usually go on CRANK Mob. A bit too much hanging around for my taste, but I also figure with all the rides that are going on, vote with your wheels: go on the rides you like and make them as good as you can; avoid the ones that aren't your cup of tea. I don't think there's anyone here that can go on every ride, not like just a few short years ago.

Variety is the spice of life.

for the record. C.R.A.N.K. MOBs routes have always been 13-20 miles. If they were further, it was because the ride had ended, and the riders continued partying.

but please also take into account that when a rides numbers are rising to over 400 consistently and even over 650 at CRANKMAS, the places you can stop are limited. The time it takes to get everyone together is lengthened. You can't have 200 people go through lines at a store in 15 minutes. This is fact, sorry.

If you have some ideas on how to make the rider more smooth or more eventful, please email me at richtotheie @ gmail . com with what you'd like to do on the ride and lets MAKE IT HAPPEN. Understand that it's a lot of work that can't be done by a half-handful of people and we encourage anyone and everyone on C.R.A.N.K. MOB to bring the F.U.N.

much party time <3

The chaos makes it into a fun game.

All of us equipped with tall-bikes, or a soundsystem are like cowboys.

When we see a good place to let the herd take a rest and chew on some range-grass, they will follow the boom of our speakers and the lasso's from tall-bikers.

When we're ready to roll out, we round up the herd and lead it to the next watering hole.

Now as far as Old West gunslingers go, I always thought of myself as Wyatt Earp.

Richie is exactly correct on this. i've planned almost every route on C.R.A.N.K. MOB since the very first one and they've always been about 13-18 miles. there has never been a 25-30 mile C.MOB.

and yes, the stops are getting longer. pretty much because there's more people to take care of now.

my suggestion to everyone who wants something more out of C.MOB is BRING IT! C.R.A.N.K. MOB is a carnival, festival and spectacle (with bikes). the best part about it is that pretty much everyone brings something to the party: bands, dancers, pyrotechnics, music, costumes, double dutch, chalk art! so if you want to do more riding while we take one of those extra-long stops, get a posse together and branch off to tear up the town. talk to one of the organizers about it and we could try to work it out so that you're back with us before we leave or just meet up later.
