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
