For 2015 The Big Mountain Run will feature builders from all over the Eastern and Central parts of the United States in the Second Annual Hillbilly Invitational. Each of these builders is hand crafting an amazing build for the event and will all be pictured here and in Cycle Source Magazine. The winner also gets automatic entry into the prestigious “Artistry in Iron” invitational at Las Vegas BikeFest this year so the stakes are high. Leading up to the event we want to give you a little background on each builder and today we are proud to introduce a returning builder from BMR 2014, Will Ramsey from Faith Forgotten Choppers.
Owner of Faith Forgotten Choppers, Will Ramsey started the company in 2009 with the intention of bringing high quality fabrication and balanced design aesthetics to his customers. In a quest for truth within an industry riddled with anecdotal production processes, he immersed himself in the scientific studies of Welding, Metallurgy and the history of Industrial Design. Will’s love for “timeless” vintage style choppers is evident by the classic lines of his bikes, but his use of modern componentry along with his precision fabrication techniques produces dependable choppers that perform at today’s standard. Contrasting polished metal against satin colors, distinguishes Faith Forgotten Choppers and maintains emphasis on the craftsmanship and detail of every design. With his focus on quality and style every bike Will builds can withstand the test of time. Check out more of Will’s work at www.faithforgotten.com
Your participation will be required whether you are attending Big Mountain Run or not. The way the winner of the Hillbilly Invitational is decided is based on a three-way vote. First is a panel of judges at the event site, the second is decided by the builders themselves and the third is where you come in. When we get to the Big Mountain Run Event Site we will be posting their builds on Facebook and Instagram. 33% of the overall vote will be based on the number of likes each builder gets from social media so stay tuned.
