Presented by Stoopid Chopper Show
Custom Series Show Features $2500 Cash to Best of Show Winner plus $500 Cash to All First Place Winners in 8 Classes
Lately, traditional bike shows with classes and trophies have been eclipsed by invitationals. But going old school has its benefits. Like what? Like COLD CASH, that’s what!
And that’s exactly what’s up for grabs at the 8th annual Buffalo Chip School’s Out Chopper Show on Saturday, Aug. 2. The first campers to pass through the Buffalo Chip gate in 1981 rode in on choppers, so it’s only fitting that the Custom Series includes a show for these classic, raked-out rides.
And thanks to show partners, Stoopid Chopper Show, Motorcycle Safety Lawyers, Paughco, Kirsh Helmets, Choppers Magazine, Chop Docs, Twisted Tea, Metalwood Garage, and Bikerpics, this show and shine will give you the chance to meet some of the biggest stars in chopper building and win cash to get you going on your next chopper build.
Winners get trophies, too: epic one-off metal art trophies made by Dana Tilling at Metalwood Garage. They’re definitely trophies worth showing off!
And along with the classes from prior years, we added a new one in 2024: the Mini Chop Class with $500 cash for first place and a Kirsh helmet for second place – plus awesome Metalwood Garage trophies. So Mini Bike Fans, roll in that mini chopper to take its place with the big boys and girls.
