ABOVE-Anthem 2 premier.....bmx in all its glory, its free, come support something great, view an amazing movie, and have good times
BELOW-A few months back a small group of us ventured off for a Sunday day trip to the annual "chopped festival" just outside of castlemane. for anyone into customs, bikes, hot rods, or rockabilly, this event is a MUST. it is done right with zero bullshit. the other unique thing about this event is the rules..which creates a weekend that is as close to what is used to be like in the pre 1965 custom culture
RULES OF ENTRY FOR VEHICLES
- Pre 1965 traditional style rods and customs only
- No billet wheels or accessories
- No I.F.S on fenderless cards
- Customs must be lowered and have a wheel alteration
- 1960s and earlier mag wheels only
- Race cars welcome
- NO VWs
- Volksrods and era correct VW drag cars are welcome
- Traditional style American and British choppers and bobbers welcome
- Cars wishing to drag must meet above criteria also
(Front ticketing booth)
(one of my picks for the weekend..)
(gold tooth, so good)
(first time viewing this gem.... done perfectly...)
