Hard
Knocks Motorcycle Entertainment Presents
THE
SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS AMATEUR CUSTOM BIKER BUILD OFF
Pennsylvania
– Allan Lane’s Hard Knocks Motorcycle Entertainment presents The
School of Hard Knocks Amateur Custom Biker Build Off. This build off
is specifically for the non-professional builder, including everyone
from “Joe Wrench” to “Bike Shop USA”. For the sake of this
competition, the term amateur is defined as anyone/shop/team that
has not received any national press/recognition in any media formats
for the art of building custom bikes.
All interested
builders must complete an application to be considered a competitor.
This application process will confirm that the builder and his/her
team are completely composed of amateurs as defined by the terms of
the competition. Upon application approval, competitors will be
given the rule book and be introduced to the School of Hard Knocks
round table of pro builders that will serve as the competition
judges. There will be ten judges that judge ten categories,
determining the winner of the competition.
The builders will
be given 5 months to complete their projects, a spending limit of no
more than $10,000, and must adhere to strict guidelines and rules
such as: Builders will be subject to weekly progress reports, be
given a list of outsourceable services, the completed projects must
be fully operable and will be subject to a minimal field test… to
list only a few.
Builders can
select to compete in one of three classes: Sportbike, Cruiser and
Specialty. Completed projects will be judged in the following
categories: Chrome,
Paint, Fairing/Body Modification, Frame Modification, Accessories,
Wheels, Function, Creativity, Level of Difficulty and Execution.
The official
judging will occur at the first annual School of Hard Knocks Custom
Bike Show and Expo to be held at the Valley Forge Convention Center
in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, April 25, 2009.
Preliminary prizes for the winner will include national media
exposure, tool and equipment packages valued at over $5000.00 and
bragging rights.
