People's Champ Show Update

"2020 has been one for the record books. Due to Uncertainty caused by COVID-19 Born-Free has been cancelled. So we regrouped and thought real hard on what we can do for our builders and you the fans for this year. Well since in person events are almost impossible we have decided to take the event to the internet. We will still be crowning the 2020 Biltwell's People’s Champ! We are going to load up our media team with face masks and hand sanitizer and send them to the builders to provide video and photos of this years builders riding and showing you why you should vote for them. Voting will be announced and should be early November since you all should be in the voting spirit around that time anyway. So stay tuned!" -Biltwell People's Champ

Born-Free 12 rescheduled

"Hey, everyone, unfortunately, we had to change the date of BF 12. There's just too much uncertainty in June and with the current global situation, we honestly had no choice but to make this difficult decision today. If the event was even possible in June and that’s a big if....we would not have been able to give you all the show you deserve and expect from us and everyone involved. We completely understand this new date (September 26/27 ) could be an issue for some, but we sincerely hope you can understand what we are all up against. This is uncharted waters for every person on this planet. We want to make sure we provide the best event possible in the safest conditions possible. We are working with all the local agencies to stay on top of any issues that may come up. We will know more in the coming weeks and let you all know as soon as possible. We thank you all in advance for all your support and your patience. We promise we will get through this, have a killer show and honor all commitments. Be sure to follow @bornfreeshow for updates. We'll see you in September." - Mike and Grant

Congratulations to the Lucky 13 for moving on to round two of the Biltwell's People's Champ competition. Be sure to give them a follow to watch their progress.

Welcome to Round 1 of the Biltwell People’s Champ 2020

"Your job in this democratic process is to select the 13 builders/bikes that will advance to the next level. Please read through each candidate’s latest update here, visit their Instagram accounts and decide who you think it worthy.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of this page, pick your favorite 13 and hit the Submit button. Yes, you have to pick 13, so you can’t just vote for your best friend and then bounce. We can tell if you try to game the system and cast multiple votes, so don’t try, the votes will only get deleted.

Thanks for voting!

LAST CHANCE TO ENTER THE PEOPLE'S CHAMP COMPETITION!

Biltwell raised $10,000 that all went directly to the builders this year and they are hoping to generate at least this much cash for 2020. "The People’s Champ is going to be a little different from any show we’ve ever been involved in, but in a good way. The final six-pack of builders will be required to start their motorcycle and ride it to Cook’s Corner. This route will be approximately 50 miles of some of the best roads Southern California has to offer. This means not only do the builders have to build a beautiful machine, but it has to be an actual motorcycle that runs and rides. Think you have what it takes? If so, find all the rules, schedules, and details at www.peopleschampshow.com. The deadline for initial email submissions of your project is September 25th. Good Luck!"- Bill Bryant

Meet the 2020 Born-Free Invited Builders

Congratulations to all involved! We know each person listed is going to hit it out of the park. A special shout out to Chop Cult Contributors Jason Ochoa and Josh Allison for getting the well-deserved nod. We are so happy for you guys! We have most of the invited builders linked on Facebook and Instagram, so give them a follow to watch their process. Please note some of the Born-Free builders names are missing due to tagging restrictions.
