And The Winners are......

These are pictures of all the guys who won bike awards and the raffle.
The Trophies
A large crowd gathered to hear the winners.
Grant, Harpoon and Mike gave out the awards.







Dustin






Mark


John Edwards was called up to give the last award out for best bike.
John gave a pretty classic speech as the kids in the audience had to put the ear muffs on.

Then they brought out the spinner to pick the lucky ticket for the raffle.
You all know this guy by now and know he won something worth while.



Thanks to all that sent in emails to me on the photos. I really appreciate all the kinds words. I want to thank Mike Davis (Born Loser) for asking me to be the photographer for the event. It was an honor to document the show that will go down as one of the best in motorcycle history. I look forward to Born Free Three.

Street Chopper Release Party

Surfing El Porto Can Be Hazardous To Your Health

I guess they cut him and pulled the skin down over his face to fix a broken orbital bone when they got him to the hospital.

Crowd Control 2

It got so crowded with bikes, guys were double parking on the street. The Fire Marshall put a stop to that. Everyone had to move their bikes out of the way or get a ticket.
If you wanted a good spot either you get there early or have someone save a spot for you.

Plenty of great vendors out there for people to spend their money on.




If you broke down there was a very good chance the guy next to you could help you out.
Uncle Dustin and his nephew
One of the over flow parking lots.
Vans was out there.
The Joyrides Art Company booth.
Plenty of cameras out there. There will be plenty of media coverage in magazines across the world.
Gives you an idea of how many people were there.


Beer can alley.
Free beer. I'm glad I didn't choose to have my booth back there. Way to crowded.


Yep.
