Choppercabras 11th annual Halloween Ride: Medieval Mayhem!
Thread started by rev106 at 09.19.11 - 4:42 pm

Choppercabras 11th Annual Halloween Ride!!



Where: Atomic Cycles 17322 Saticoy st. Van Nuys, CA 91406 (818) 609-0113



When: Sunday, October 30th, Noon Sharp!



Choppercabras 11th annual Halloween Ride is a bicycle event unparalleled in all of Los Angeles, perhaps all the globe! Bicycles bashed, blood spilled, hot dogs eaten, 2 wheeled mayhem unlike anything you’ve ever seen! (unless you’ve been to one of these before.) And it’s all free! Did I mention hot dogs?



What you will need:



You ready to have fun
A bicycle in good working order
You dressed up as a character from medieval times.


A note on the time. Do your best to arrive on time or you’ll miss out on all the fun, we don’t wait for you, as there will be hundreds of people there on time ready to ride. We start at Noon, not hipster time, but real time.



How to get here:



By Car:



101 Exit Balboa, head North until you hit Saticoy, make a left go till you see Louise, park. The event location is ½ block west of Louise in the south side of Saticoy. Parking in the back will be taken up by event stuff, best to park on the street.



From 118 as above but south on Balboa, make a right on Saticoy.



From 405 exit Sherman Way go West until you hit Louise, North on Louise as above.



By Bike:



Take Orange line to Louise, North on Louise until you are at Saticoy, go west on Saticoy, follow the noise and smells, you’re there!



By Plane:



Look for mess of bikes, parachute into Ralph’s parking lot, and watch out for Coldstone patrons, they may eat you.

As always you get some free shwag at Choppercabras events.



Buttons



Spoke Cards



Route Maps



Events:]



You’ve been warned. If you participate in any events you will be injured.

Tall Bike Jousting.

Tilt on tall bikes, two brave riders ride at each other with foam tiped lances, the rider that stays on their bike will move up until there is only one..

Tall Bike Battle Royale:

7 med sized tall bikes square off in the ring of death armed with their bike handling skills and a foam melee weapon. It's an everyone vs. everyone free-for-all that will leave one rider victorious and the others bruised and beaten.

Capture the Flag:

Two teams. Each team will have the following: 2 med tall bikes, 2 small tall bikes, 1 chariot, 1 bmx sidehack, and one catapult crew. The objective is to get your opponents flag from their castle and return it to yours, the first to do this 5 times is the winner. Each team will be armed with foam weapons and can organize any sort of attack they wish. The competition is a foot down, so if any part of your body touches the ground you have to go back and touch your home castle to return to the game. The catapult crew will be on foot and cannot advance nor capture the flag, they are there to offer long range support. If you have your opponents flag and are taken out, it goes back to it's castle. Teams may be reset from time to time if the action lulls.



*Special bikes will be provided for these events. You still need a bicycle for the ride on the ride.



The Ride:



We will do a few miles at a leisurely pace through the mean streets of the San Fernando Valley. We ride a few miles, we go slowly, and we try and keep the ride together. We like to see all riders occupy the right lane only of the street so we can co-exist with traffic and maximize our fun. The cause if fun, pick fights with people in cars on your ride, not ours. This is a cruise, a put, a crawl, not a race just so you know. When we get done we will be back at Atomic Cycles for the bb-q. Did I mention free hot dogs?



The BB-Q:



Back to base for some dogs and conversation, now time to relax. Dogs are free until they run out. There is a bar in the same parking lot, a liquor store and grocery across the street just so you know.



The End:



Hang out as much as you like, but the show is over folks! Help cleaning up is always appreciated.





Notes/FYI/etc.



Show up with a bike ready to ride, any kind of bike is welcome. Do not show up with a basket case or a bike that needs major repairs, you may not get them.



I do not loan bicycles for the ride. Bring a bike that is rideable to the ride, save yourself the embarrassment and be ready.



Dress up in costume. It’s ok; you’ll still be “cool” if you dress up.



Show up on time. Noon. I recommend not partying until 5 am the night before if you want to make it on time. I’ve heard all the excuses and I don’t care because it is you who will miss out.



Filmers:



I want copies. Feel free to photograph for personal use. Professional use, get in touch first. I want copies.



The Ring of Death.



The Ring of Death or “ROD” is the ring of car tires that the events take place in. Entering the ring of death means you are accepting that you may get hurt, will most likely get hurt, and are not going to cry to me later about your injuries. If you jump in the ring to take a picture, you may get hurt, you may damage your gear. If you find this too dangerous, then by all means: STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE OF THE ROD! You have been duly warned.



Audience Participation of aforementioned events.



If you want to participate in an event you may understand that you may (well, for sure) come under some form of bodily harm. There have never been more serious injures than some cuts and bruises but just so you know, these events are a bit rough. No kids may do an event but the ride. Sorry.



If you are a spectator and interfere with any of the events, you are accepting the fact that the event participants can and may hurt you. In other words: if you want to join in, then do so. If not, watch, but not both.



Do not throw the cones. Don’t. It breaks up the action.



The list of Yes!



Can anyone come?

Is it ok for kids?

Can I help?

Can I bring some drinks, food for everyone?

Can I have some fun?



The list of NO’S!



Can I borrow a bike?

Can we ride scooters, vespas, mini bikes on your ride?

Do we need to belong to the Choppercabras to ride?

Can I film your event without asking first?





Any other questions can be directed to Paul (818) 609-0113 rev106@yahoo.com

Paul does have home court advantage, I agree. However, I don't think Robert will beat Fuzz for the finals. And with armor like his, he is nothing to play with.

Fuzz confirm/deny...aren't you building a bike specifically for jousting?
