It wasn't easy. Bones were broken and curses were spat, but the judges finally picked the winners of the first Choppertown Nation online bike show. Chris from Biltwell summed things up pretty well, "Shit this was tough...a lot of crazy bikes." Carpy added, "Too many cool rides to choose from!"

This was an awesome first time and for the next one we're going to add some more categories to give everyone a chance to show off their work.
