Big Mountain Run 2013 Canceled

I haven't received the "official" press release but it has been announced today on Cycle Source's blog that The BMR has been canceled. It personally bums me out because I helped Chris and his friends create this event. We all worked very hard to make it a yearly success. I would like to wish Chris the best for 2014. If you know of a cool location that would welcome an event of this nature, please let him know. 

Please keep in mind there are many events going on this summer that you should support. Chop Cult is very proud to sponsor The Hippy Killer Hoedown, Just Kickers, Pinned, Show Class Magazine's People Choice , El Diablo Run and Born Free 5 . 

If you have an event planned, be sure to post it on the EVENTS page and take a look at our grassroots ads program. 

We all must remember that our actions at events will either make or hinder an event.. A few moments of dumb foolery sets the tone for how the outside world perceives us. We all want to have a good time and make friends along the way. 

Support your local events and enjoy the ride!

March 16 - Grassroots Builders Meet Up - Daytona

Bear, from Old Bike Barn, is putting together a little meet and greet for grassroots/garage builder types and 33er's to connect in Daytona. Its going to be at his favorite hole in the wall biker bar the Crooks Den.

"We will have free swag in limited supply. Our friends at Biltwell are sending over some free swag, I’ll have a pile of Greasy Dozen stuff and Tom at Rock and Ride also stepped up to the plate with some free t-shirts. Hope to see you there, chime in if you can make it and even if you can’t please spread the word. P.S. Parking is curb side right in front of the bar and usually ends up looking like a little bike show."

THIS PLACE IS AWAY FROM THE CRAZY MAIN STREET BS AND TRAFFIC.

"I am doing it at Bartlett Flats at Bartlett lake, which is located about 65 miles north east of Phoenix and about 24 miles from the town of Cave Creek. 

There is about 2 miles of open beach camping and it is FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. I will have signs posted when you get to the lake so you can find us. I will have an area where the majority of us can camp together. You will have to ride down about 2 miles of maintained dirt road to get to the site.

This year is more about getting out and riding your bike. load it down with all your neccesary camping gear and fishing pole and get ready to relax by the lake with friends and family. 

There are NO BANDS OR DJ this year, just the sounds of nature, campfires and old choppers puttin through the desert.

There will still be a designated spot to place to display your choppers and I will be giving out a couple of awards.

There is gonna be a killer pollo asado lunch/dinner which will kick off around 2 p.m. on Saturday and will cost $6 dollars hooked up by my mom and pops and a pancake and egg breakfast on Sunday which will cost $5. 

Bring your own beer I will not be supplying it. But i will have soda and water, just no glass containers please, they are prohibited at the lake.

Each camper MUST purchase a Tonto National Forest pass from any of the local gas stations in the surrounding area. They are 6 dollars per day and are valid for 24 hours. THEY MUST BE DISPLAYED ON VEHICLE OR THEY WILL TICKET YOU

I ask when you come for the campout to remove all garbage and leave it the way you found it!! We will not be the only people at the lake during the weekend so I ask everyone to be respectful and mindful of others please!!! 

IMPORTANT CAMPING INFO

Thanks to all the sponsors for this years campout for makin it happen"

See you soon. Love Jeremiah

After attending the incredible Moon Eyes show in Yokohama Japan for the 10th year, Mr. Foster was inducted into the Hot Rod Hall of Fame at the Granddaddy of all car shows, the Grand National Roadster show in Pomona, Ca January 24 - 27th. It is a huge honor to be included in this talented bunch of grown folk!

Additionally Salinas Boys Customs is rapidly expanding their clothing line after the success of new jackets that they sold out at the Moon Eyes show in December. This week they have added over a dozen new items to their site, including Baseball Caps, Beanies, Work shirts, Silk Screened Shop Rags, Jackets, T-Shirts & Stickers! We were finally able to convince famous Hot Rod Artist, Keith Weesner to do a 56 Nomad shirt for our loyal Ambassador / Customer Mr. Henry Gong!"
