ROTW Reverend Dak
Thread started by SKIDMARCUS at 05.27.09 - 2:23 am

Don't think that its a shame that it took over one year to get this guy to be ROTW; think of it as a testament to HOW MUCH HE RULES. The man planning more Midnight Ridazz rides than ANYONE including the epic #41 The Dada Ride and double-epic #58 The Discordian Ride and tons of other epics I don't even know about, rolling up the tightest Bike Gang in L.A. with the imfamous TWBG, Ridazz Camp Overlord, D&D DM IYM.COM, yo-yo trick inventor (just found out), the chillinest motherfucker that's out-drinking you, out-thinking you, and being the solid, stoic, proverbial MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN (drinking a "Coca-Cola" ;) ... It is with great pleasure I declare...

ROTW: The Honorable Reverend Dak

With so much behind-the-curtain-ness, there are sure to be tons of questions to disturb Dak from his reverend duties... Let' em roll !

Seconded!

The Reverend Dakota Jesus Ultimak is without a doubt one of the greatest people I know.

Questions for inquiring minds:

1. Did you ever beat Mike Tyson's Punch-Out? If so, what round did you defeat Tyson? If not, name the fighter who beat you.

2. While on your recent trip to Spain did you at any point wear a Speedo and/or sunbathe nude?

3. What was the shortest period of time you have ever worked somewhere/for someone before quitting/getting fired?

"Why do you have a beer in ALL your pictures?! "

There seems to be a distinct correlation between Dak's beer-in-handness to his coolness. This is not to say he is not cool sans beer, however. Check the bylaws.

The Rev Dak became my ROAT when he fell in front of Pioneer Chicken without spilling a single drop of his Coke. I mean, he didn't even come close to spilling a drop, that can stayed perfectly upright as he went down. Now that's what you call a Rida!

Dak, what Interstellar discipline of mind and body do you study in order to come up with the most creative ride ideazzz?

Awesome!

The Reverend Dak J. Ultimak first introduced me to Midnight Ridazz in summer '05.

OK - I've known this guy for about twenty years. I used to date his sister in high school. He, his brother, and I became gaming buddies for several years. When we went to Burning Man for the first time, we became keenly aware of each others interest in Pranks, Culture Jamming, Performance art, and other general subversive culture. He immersed me in Santa Cons, Bunny Hops, Erisian Divination, and other various forms of cacophony.

Dak had founded The Church of the Megaphone with Siren. Then, the long established Tren Way Bible Group embraced this new view from the Reverend, and we therefore began 'riding dirty' since '06. After many arduous rides to bars and battles, the fall of the Armadillos, the blood, the vomit, the beer, and the urine; TWBG is now the reckoning force that it is.



Dak has given us such rides as - The Discordian Ride.

He was also a great contributor to - The 3 year anniversary Art Ride, The Dada ride, Clown Ride, Warriors Ride, Salton Sea I and II, and the BM Ridazz Camps.

He has taught me a lot of good things. I am hoping we will endure many more bars and battles to come. People should consult him on questions of logistics and planning for rides and events because he has a lot of great ideas, and he enjoys it.

Rev. Dak is a visionary, a good friend, and I am glad he is ROTW.


Ride On!




P.S. - I hope you ask him a ton of dumb questions.

Rev. Dak,

Why the hell are some of your beard hairs red?

What was your first MR ride?

Where can I find the best bean and cheese burrito in L.A.?

Where does the phrase "In Yer Mouf" come from, any goddam way?

What's with the checkered Vans?

What's with your bike?

When did you start riding fixed, and why, you hipster?

What was it like driving ALL THE WAY TO BURNING MAN with Jeff?

Who let Marino in TWBG?

Why do you only bust out the yo-yo tricks when you're wasted?

And last but not least, how many leg hairs do you have? I'm looking for an exact number.

Oh yeah.....I love you, my love!

OMG!!! How was this nomination over looked so long???? I mean Javier got nominated for what? Saving someone from walking home and springing for beers a couple of times, BFD!

Dak has made alot happen and ALOT of really cool shit. Funny, the first time I met Dak was on the protest ride that went down Wilshire, from one end to the other. I thought he was involved with some protest organization and it was going to be ashame not to roll with him again. It's great that it turned out the opposite!

Congrats Dak and a well deserved nomination!!

Alot of people don't know what stray couches is. Can you enlighten them about this? I think it's great that you take people in for months at a time and give them a place to stay and feed them.

So some questions...........

- If you and Borfo had a chugging contest, who would win? If there's a dispute, could we see it settled at Choppercabras?

- When are we going to do that drainage tunnel tour?

- Ever thought about brewing beer?

- What's your favorite letter? (you can only pick one)

This guy . . . I can't say much that hasn't been expressed already. I am constantly in awe of his wisdom, knowledge, insight, talents and enjoyment of life. He's been instrumental in some of the best rides that ever happened.

My gratitude to him and the rest of TWBG for having me along. He's lead me on some real adventures. As long as my courage holds up, I'll follow him to the end of the earth.

Now to think up some questions . . .

Oh my god, thank you so much. I would like to dedicate my nomination to the Original TWBG ('I'll race you for a quarter'), circa 1980s, and to my Mommy, your Mommy, and my siblings. To all my friends, from before, now and the FUTURE. I love you all.

When I heard about it this morning, my feelings were identical and best said by one of my heroes, Previous "ROTW" Cyclist, when he first replied with "Well, it's about fucking time." I also laughed and thought, here comes the stupid questions.

But first I would have to ask you all, How do you do it? How do you look at my DUMB face and take me seriously? Much less listen to me? I mean, goddamn it! Look at those pics of me? The faux-man-chu thing going on? WTF?

Oh well. Thank you Marcus for nominating me. Goodtimes, seriously. More to come, I'm sure.

And now for the questions...

@cabhauler, that's me.

@Jazzy Phat Nastee, I look forward to your questions.

@bananaphone, 1. No! I have always sucked at Nintendo's games. I played it a lot, tho. 2. I wish, the weather didn't permit. Boy did I love Spain. LA can learn a LOT from Barcelona. California should seceed from the U.S.A., ala Catalonia. That would be awesome. 3. Four months for Sony, Four months with Loop Internet Switching Co. I kind of think I don't get this question.

@TheRaquel, THANKS! Raquel.

@ZombiesGotMyTongue, First, I'm not sure I have the clearance to answer that question without violating some Time-Traveler's Code, or something. Why would [did] you want to get married anyway? Second; Love, Bicycles and Anarchy.

@stevo4, that's what I was saying. Not to gloat or anything.

@widowmaker, Thanks! I do my best, it's what I do. My best.

@Marino, did someone let the cat out again? Of the bag?

@neverclever, Dak is short for Dakota (at least it is now.) My brother IS cool, much cooler than me, fo-sho. I like beer, a lot. I used to be quite the connoisseur. It was a hobby of mine while I went to school. I still love it, but I'm not much of a snob about it anymore. Free is now my favorite flavor.

@Javier, I've always had faith in you.

@hatehills, Thanks man. I hate hills too.

@SPOOK, it might depend on which version of the by-laws you are talking about. In one version it's MANDATORY.

@richtotheie, You're right. I love it. I do.

@sexy, *returns salute*.

@steph, I'm glad I made a good impression. I'm usually a bit stand-off-ish to new faces. I'm really glad we bumped into you (and Lance) that night. It was epic.

@toweliesbong, thank you SO MUCH for the kind words. You were there? In front of Pioneer Chicken? It was the Art Ride/3rd Anniversary Ride. I did the route, Borfo took care of the rest. Borfo borfoed his ribs and legs. I fucked up my wrist saving that beer. I met (or really got to know) a LOT of people that night, including Marcus. Wow, now THAT was an epic ride. I like that pic, unlike the others, I'm OK with how I look. As for the my interstellar discipline? I follow, somewhat, the ways of Rev. Al of the (former) LA Cacophony, the teachings of Eris, and I avoid Theme Rides. (i.e. I go on them, that's fine. I just avoid planning what are just essentially Theme Rides.)

@trickmilla, thanks a zillion.

@meow, where is that pic?! Who bought it?! I still have that crown. It sits proudly in the kitchen.

@Joe Borfo, there is a reason you are ROTYx7. I may have introduced you, but I follow in YOUR footsteps. But yeah, it's true. I have been doing this silly shit for many years now. And I do love it. I can take _some_ credit for some of our rides, but they're mostly you. Where's our bitch, Dingo? I smell his aborigious ass.

@cabhauler, where's that BMX with the cupholder?

@Ms. Stephanie, oh my. Your questions deserve thier own reply.

@User1, you were the first to offer me a beer. I will never forget that. I try to have an extra beer for you, wherever I go. Straycouches.com is currently OFFLINE. I don't have the time to elaborate on it's greatness, but yeah, it saves lives. First question; Borfo would win, hands down. He likes forcing things down his throat. No contest. I wouldn't battle Borfo, ever. Oh, the Storm Drains. It's going to be part of my next EPIC ride, details soon. There are limited seats for some parts of the adventure, I'll save you a spot for the tunnels. Ayeph, is my favorite letter.

@speedybrian2000, who's Dennis? Ironically, I only came up with the theme for The Warriors Ride. Roadblock came up with the concept for the actual ride. I say ironically because I'm the first one to shoot down ideas for rides that are based on just themes. Themes are boring on their own. But thanks! TWBG rules!

@Roadblock, thanks man. Feeling's mutual. Without you we wouldn't have this site. And without this site, no forums, no Ridazz of the Week.

@brassknuckle, fucking Dan. You also need a separate reply.

@neverclever, didn't you already ask questions? 0. I'm not a math geek (re: AT), but I believe 00 is greater. 8. Yoda, no question. Oh wait, Gandalf can kick some serious ass, but... 13. They both scare me. 69. Your Mommy. 89. 0.02% because of my back. $100% the money. 666. When someone hires me, after I start looking. 12939. No, because I don't like pickles in my food.

Absolutely! Dak rules in too many ways to count.

Here are some stupid questions. To minimize the time required to reply, all of them can simply be answered with a number, if you so desire.

Aside from TWBG, MR and Discordia, how many group affiliations do you claim (or disavow)?
How many of these affiliations would you tell your parents about?
How many parents do you have, anyway?
How many additional years of wisdom does a Faux Manchu confer upon its owner?
How many years has that particular Faux Manchu seen in its time?
How many beers has that particular Faux Manchu seen in its time?
In how many ways does a megaphone circle differ from a drum circle?
2+2=?

Why are some of my chin hairs red? Genetics. Maybe some environmental mutations? Or it could be leftover spaghetti sauce.

I don't actually KNOW what my first MR was. I didn't know anything about spoke-cards, so I didn't get one. It was probably likely I passed on it, thinking it was a flyer or something. My first MR spoke card was for the July in December ride? 2005? My very first spoke card was actually NOT from a MR, but from a Whirly Girls ride. They were at The Roost, and someone gave me a spoke card.

Best bean and cheese burrito, in my humble opinion, is from Burrito King. Before that, it was from Arturo's in Eagle Rock, they're no longer around.

In Yer Mouf! Ok, this is long. Barely anyone knows this, except Borfo and maybe the few I've told the story to. But it comes from my gaming years. Playing tons and tons of FPS, particularily Quake 2 CTF. During "battle" we would talk a LOT OF SMACK. One of my favorites was, after I capped someone with a "headshot", I would say "Hey, what did that taste like, because it was IN YO MOUF!" I used to play a LOT of Quake with Borfo and others.

I love my checkered Vans. Even though they're made in China now, and a size 10 can fit the same as a size 11, I love the. They remind me of the 'old days'. Plus they're cheap, and they're lace-less which makes them ideal for bikes.

I love all my bikes. Particularily PJ, my 1982 Technium Fixed-gear conversion. It looks like shit, I treat it like shit, but she's been extremely reliable. She's been to BikeKill and all over LA. god I love that bike.

Sheldon Brown turned me on to fixies. I also have a bunch of Raleigh 3-speeds. And Sheldon Brown is THE expert on 3-speeds. He mentioned fixed-gear several times, and I had the opportunity to make one. At first I kept it Single-speed. Then Wam-balam borrowed it for a week or so, and he flipped it to fixed. It's been that way ever since.

I've driven to and from Burning Man, TWICE, with Jeff. Nothing like like driving down Gerlach highway with a big ol fluffer by your side. It was Jeff's Birthday YESTERDAY!

I like Marino a lot. I'm going to grow up to be just like Marino, I would rather be more like Mr. Rollers, but the reality of it is, I'm going to end up more like Marino. I don't mind. Marino recruitment into TWBG was my proud accomplishment.

I don't like being "in front" of the curtains. I'm not a performer (like Borfo) and doing tricks of any sort require performance skills. When I'm drunk I don't care as much. And I like doing Yo-yo tricks.

I have 4 leg hairs on one leg, and 6 on the other.

I love you too, I really do.

5. I've been a meat eater longer than some of the young ones been alive. I became a Vegetarian when I turned 24. So that'd be 14 years ago? Something like that. I'm not that strict, not at all. Infact I had some pork & chicken this weekend, I love BBQ meat. I feel guilty.
6. Fuck you Wam-balam. I'm tired of your questions!

8. The secret bar, on Wednesday, is still AWESOME.
9. I would have to say the 3rd Anniversary Art Ride, it was fucking EPIC.

@GodLovesUgly, Do you mean Grunge? It's likely coincidence because I'm a product of the 70s, and so is Wayne from Wayne's world. I haven't seen the films in over a decade, and I haven't seen any of the SNL skits featuring Wayne's World, so I don't know what you are getting at. I'm just me. And yes, I'm aware that Wayne likes hockey, it helps that Mike Myers is Canadian.

I don't do impersonations and if you have long hair, ride a bike, and drink beer, you're probably stealing my shtick. It's nothing impressive.

I think you not only deserve this ROTW status maybe even ROTM . You also might be deserving of ROTY, but I can't support it. Yes you have everything to be the new ROTY, but I can't support two Tren Ways in a row to be ROTY.

Actually this whole thread has under tones of a TWBG conspiracy to further the falsehood that the Armadillos are dead and Javi actually exist in human fourm... Armadillos are not dead. They are still alive and well and can serious do damage to TWBG. Actually the Armadillos are just acting like a slum dweller and not turning on the light to make all the TWBG (cockroach like) scram with the light. Come to think of I noticed TWBG only comes out when it is dark. The similarities are amazing.

How long did it take for the "high" of being lovingly recognized by all your friends, comrades, and adversaries wear off from all the typing you have to do to answer all these questions? Don't answer if the high hasn't worn off yet.

Ok, another round of questions. I'm enjoying answering them, well most of them.

@mixtemotions, it's me who rigged the elections in Borfo's favor... for the next four years. Yes, you can blame me for introducing mixtemotions AND Borfo to our little cult(ure). I don't mind taking the blame. 1. I own a buttload of Lightsabers. That's why I crack up when I heard about Officer Cho. I would have replied with, "Oh, you're a fan of Star Wars? Me too." I've been collecting Yo-Yos since I was 8 or 9. I have a few. I have an even larger collection of smashed pennies. I mentioned that the Art Ride is my favorite, as for a ride that I didn't have an hand in, I would say it was the Make-Out ride. That ride was totally EPIC, helicopters & pursuit cars in Glendale, a bunch of crashes and it ended at Angel's Point. For non-2nd Friday Rides, Sins & Sprockets and Cruz with Us were the best. TWBG should have its own TV network and movie franchise.

@Mook, aww, you're the best.

@larsenf, I _think_ I know who you are. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip to Slab City, I love that place.

@Roadblock, we'll see. I'm stumped for new ideas. I have a really short attention span.

@Joe Borfo, a separate reply in in order.

@Hpister de Tocqueville, I'm out there once in a while. I'm due for a CrankMob, and I really enjoyed Pier Pressure. I live in Glassel Park, and it's not ever remotely easy heading West. Unless you're talking about the Valley, then it's easier. Some of the best ride organizers (and personalities) claim the Westside, so you're in good hands without me. Soon, ok. Soon. Say Hi.

@Joe Borfo,

What is the best memory of a Tren Way ride?

The best ones are the ones I barely remember. There is usually The Secret Bar involved, and chillin on the Bridge. I do love the 415G rides too, I miss the Armadillos - sometimes.

If you could take Midnight Ridazz anywhere, where would you take them?

Barcelona, Catalonia. LA could learn a LOT from Barcelona. Barcelona has a blooming bike culture, and their Bike Infrastructure was installed only about three years ago! Bicing is brilliant.

If you could pass on a kernel of wisdom to all Ridazz, what would it be?

In general, remember what got you into MR in the first place, it's Fun Social Event on Wheels. It's not a race, there are tons of those. It's not a fucking popularity contest either. It's a bike ride with real good friends.

How many minutes does it take to ride to center camp and back-ack-ack-ack?

20 min.

Theme rides are just that, Themes. Such as a Star Wars theme, or the Clown Ride. Both of those rides didn't do anything particularily "Star Wars" or "Clowny" other than everyone dressed up in theme. There is nothing wrong with that, and most rides are theme rides.

My "Art" has less to do with rides, and more to do with how I do things and get things done. I use the term Art as a blanket statement referring to my style. I don't do much "art" anymore, I don't paint, draw or anything. Occassionally I'll mock something up on Illustrator (I like to design my own spoke-cards.) Most of my art are conceptual pieces. The Salton Sea trips and the Discordian Ride exemplify this. The Salton Sea trips had themes, both Post-Apocalyptic-whatevers. Most people didn't go with the theme, but a LOT did. Slab City & it's environs provided a perfect setting for a mini Post-Apocalyptic TAZ. While the Discordian Ride was an exercise in structured chaos, which is something Discordians embrace. It didn't even have a theme, because how do you dress Discordian? You don't. Discordianism is defined by actions, and thought, etc.

I have a few more things planned, we'll see how they turn out. A lot of people wont come because a lot of people don't like my art.

Believe it or not, I like Heavy Metal! But not the typical "Metal" shit that people list to on the radio. I like to call the metal I listen to Epic Metal. Some people call it Power Metal. I believe Rhapsody (on Fire) calls their metal "Hollywood" metal. It's the same shit. I'm a big fan of Hammerfall, Manowar and Iron Maiden. Sometimes I call it Nerd Metal, or D&D Metal. Ed Guy and most of Tobias Sammett's stuff is awesome. I like Sonata Arctica too. I listen to Metalcast when I get a chance.

I wasn't at the first Heavy Metal Ride, at least I don't think so. I definitely was at the second one, but I bailed before the Bike Oven, I went straight to Ridge Way... in the rain.

BTW, I lived in Germany for 2 years. In Schwienfurt, near Bamburg & Wurzburg. The only German I remember goes something like this (sp?):

@hipster, Thanks. I like the stuff I put on too, it's a lot of work. And I do my best. BTW, I didn't organize the Santacon, I just got the bikes involved. As for Trend Way, that's not nice. And if you're Truly a Hipster, you'd be trying you damn-est to get in. But we're not Trendy, look at me or Marino! We're far from it. But, of course you relate more to my brother, he's much cooler than me, and actually Hip - not in the bad way. It's OK not to know everything. Tecate is much better than PBR, PBR is good on tap, and awesome when it's FREE.

@User1, or should I say Reverend Yusur Whon. That's a very good Holy Name, I like it. Borfo has fed you dis-information - BAD BORFO. The official application can be found here. If you want a proper ceremony you can have one at the next ride. I'll bring my Holy Water, which was last blessed by Rev. Mook. Note, filling out that application and submitting it will not give you any ordination that's recognized by the State (You can't marry or perform first, middle or last rites for people - not legally.) But, recognize the fact that you may already be a POPE, and Popes only answer to Eris.

Also, will the year 2012 bring about chaos or is it just another Y2k (big letdown, at least for other fellow discordians)

@katiepoche, my favorite freckled coffee making irish insurrectionist. thank you for your exuberant words. It means a lot.

@Jazzy Phat Nastee, thanks for your questions. You actually made me use brains.

00001. I think I already mentioned it, but remember why it was FUN for you, and why you kept coming back. One thing to keep in mind, also, is that anyone who can ride a bike, skateboard or wheelchair should be able to complete the route. I guess I'm talking about 2nd Friday and other established nights. The exceptions of course are specialized to begin with, and should always be noted as: FAST/SLOW FAR/SHORT FLAT/HILLS etc. etc. Don't forget the spoke-cards.

00002. What I would like to see more of are regular folks on the rides, and families. With all the drinking and pot-smoking, I can see it "kind-of" an issue, but not really. If Ridazz were a bit more discreet with their substances, it would be completely a non-issue. But at the same time it would "hiding" reality, which I don't want either. So yeah, more folks on bikes - period.

00003. Interesting question, regarding 2012, because all those numbers equal to 5. I seriously doubt planes will fall from the sky, and I highly doubt that the four horsemen will decide to show up. I think we already can see what potential catastrophe can or will happen, it's headline news - Global Warming. It's possible it will be the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT. We can easily run out of fossil fuels by 2012, or at least it wont be affordable to the average human. Someone's fingers aren't going to snap on Dec 22, 2012, but I predict that whatever the state of the world we live in by 2050 will be earmarked by some significant events leading up to 2012 and around those years. It's happening now, this ipod generation and our addiction to the internet, etc. I think we, as Ridazz, are more suited than most, as a lot of us exercise sustainability and self-reliance all the time. The diligence we show when it comes to our rights as Cyclists is a really good sign for me. Basically, if anyone is going to survive, it will be us... and the guys with guns. I left the original thing I wrote because I was going OFF. But to answer your question, ... consult your pineal gland.

00004. Oh man. There are actually a ton more songs, but it's hard to fit them all in the book without making it really expensive. What I need to do is find Karaoke versions of the songs for a music trailer playlist, and we just sing them with the sick & twisted Santacon lyrics.

00005. I've never been interested in sequels. They make my eyes roll, "been there", "done that", etc. It shows a lack of creativity and it's simply LAZY. Looking up rides in MR is easy, nothing should ever be repeated, but it keeps happening! Do your research folks! I do have a couple things planned, but I'm not ready to announce them yet. That would be telling, and I like surprises.

If any body has craft skills, I think someone should make a really stupid ROTW hat and make Rev. Dak wear it to Choppercabras. *snicker*

Okay so I realized that I haven't posted on this thread until just now. So:
Congratulations! You definitely deserve this, I can't believe it hasn't happened before! I first really met Rev. Dak when he drove me to the Salton Sea, which says a lot about his awesomeness in and of itself.
Questions:
A. What was your favorite moment of the most intense awesomeness? Describe.
B. If the above moment did not involve a bicycle (ride), please pick one now. Or pick a second favorite.
C. What's your opinion on LOLspeak?
D. Where did the rest of my list of questions for you go? It was here in my brain just a seond ago....

That sounds phenomenal! Let's do it.
Rev. Dak- one more question:
WILL YOU BE AT LACM?

Oh, and how bout those snazzy shirts you and Ms. Stephanie were rocking last LACM?

Aww geeez guys. It would be an HONOR to wear your ROTW hat, as long as I can ride in it, and it doesn't get me killed/shot/punched/kicked/jumped/etc.

I won't be at LACM, I have dinner tonight with the FAMILY, yeah, I have parents...

@danya, Thank you so much, I'm really glad to have met you. And it was my pleasure to give you a ride. As for your questions,

A. Wow, what a tough one. It's hard to say because there have been many favorite intense moments. The cheesiest would have to be my first Midnight Ridazz on a night I don't even remember. You guys have won me over and have taken over my life. The Cacaphony & SantaCon, even Burning Man didn't suck me in as readily or smoothly as Midnight Ridazz one 2nd Friday in some random forgotten month.

B. A term I use for intense awesomeness is getting my ASS KICKED. Whether it's a band, movie or some subculture like Midnight Ridazz, it's hard for me to answer this. I can talk about things from the past lives and from the FUTURE. There are just too many, I'm sorry to fail this. Skidmarcus standing on Borfo & my shoulders, while we stood on top of 50 gallon drums, to ring the bell at Parque de Mexico (aka Plaza de la Raza) was one moment. Borfo had a busted knee and broken ribs, I had a sprained wrist from the "Beer Saving Moment" in front of Pioneer Chicken. But we didn't care.

C. I'm not sure what LOLspeak is, I'll look it up... Oh, that shit... I've been using a variant of LOLspeak for years now. In fact I take credit for terms like IYM or DOTCOM. It's not exactly the same, but they're used the same. I think? I might be wrong. I never use it long replies, but I'm known to use it on TXT and chat. My Laptop is called LOLth.

D. You might want to check your pineal gland also, either that they may have been transmitted to Sirius. And may have come back, in the past. or the FUTURE.
