Not sure we need to give all the details to spoil the surprise if you haven't attended in past. Everybody should expect the loudest most lit up bike ride EVER led by Dutch and Sysfail, and our team of party monsters. If you have issues with loud crazy fun with alot of people in a semi-dangerous environment please stay home. **though we retired some of the more dangerous attractions, so safety gear probably not needed.
DONT RIDE LIKE A DICK! The ride goes at a slow pace, its easy to ride chill. Dont antagonize cars. We are gonna be holding up a whole shit load of traffic for long periods, BE NICE to those people, it works way better then getting angry. This ride is about getting crazy and having fun, NOT being aggro and pissing people off. We also enforce a safe space, so don't be a creep.
In the beginning before 1000w bluetooth speakers, we had Sysfail's 200 watt car stereo sound system in a wood box and another he built for Dutch pushing a combined wild 400 watts!! connected via a 1/8 splitter. was built as a workshop in front of KBOO, if anybody was able to dig up that footage, be a woot to see Sysfail and Dutch almost 20 years ago now.
Last several years we have had a core team with a pedal powered truck pulling a DJ booth that connects to 4 loud sound systems via a custom made wireless setup to creating a 4000+ watt rolling bike party. Plenty of other bring their own sound systems which we encourage, but please do your best not to create a trainwreck of sound and spread out.
Meetup at 8:30pm, ride at 10ish
