Thanks to our video guru Ryan Sense for dusting off CC's YouTube channel and creating great content for all to enjoy. Be sure to subscribe to our channel and hit the notification bell for more videos heading your way. Much love to Throttle Addiction and Freakmount for sponsoring our event coverage. 

Thanks to every event coordinator who allowed ChopCult to play a small role in their events. We appreciate your hard work and determination to give every attendee a fantastic time!

Thanks to the editors of Greasy Kulture, Rolling Heavy, Chopper Gent, Cycle Source, DicE, Gnarly Magazine, Pittsburg Moto, and Smut Butt for supporting ChopCult. It has been a pleasure collaborating with you. 

Thanks to Heather and Chris at Cycle Source Magazine for nominating ChopCult for the 2022 Best Media Outlet Award for 2022. We didn't take home the gold as the award went to my dear friend Jessi Combs and her documentary The Fastest Woman on Earth. I am sure Jessi got a kick beating CC and me, but I'll take the loss every year if I could spend one more minute with her. God Speed, Jessi!

Thanks to the Lowlife Chopper Podcast crew, Big Truth, and Danger Dan for supporting CC throughout the years by giving us love on their podcasts. Also, thanks to The Eazy Co., Throttle Addiction, Unaffiliated, and American Metal Customs for showcasing our banner in their videos.

Here's some exciting news for you. ChopCult has a new owner, and it's someone that most of you know already. Drumroll, please.....Please help me welcome Zach Boxx, owner of Throttle Addiction, to the ChopCult Family. Zach bought the website on March 1, 2022, but he wanted the focus to remain on the community (as it should be). Zach and his team have a lot of things in the works for CC in 2023 that we'll talk about soon. Please go to www.throttleaddiction.com to check out Zach's motorcycle offerings, and be sure to give Throttle Addiction on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

I wish you and yours the very best for 2023 and beyond.
