Choppertown: the Sinners

My hat is off to the Choppertown people. This documentary is incredible. I watch it probably twice a month without hesitation and even more when its raining and I cant go ride. The video follows around the The Sinners MC, who are the epitome of biker cool. You get to watch them interact, ride, and build some of the coolest hand made motorcycles you've ever seen. You also get to see the enigmatic Jason Jessee and all his lunatic splendor as he rides and works with his Sinners brothers. Which is always a plus. In short this video really captures the essence and the very definition of "biker brotherhood". If you are thinking about buying this dvd, dont think...pull the trigger. You wont regret it. Also, for those of you who dont get it.....you never will.

If you dont find the meaning of this movie, you dont have a heart, and dont have a bike and pretty sure never will... so if ya like ridin and remembering them good rides with your bros... this one (the sinners) reminds you how real your memories are no matter where you rid'em too!!! really good and 5 stars good!!! ride on people...

This movie was a nice change of pace from all the "Pop" motorcycle tv shows. No amazing over the top theme bikes here.No nikes that are so ridiculous they aren't motorcycles anymore. Just down and dirty bikes , built by the hands of the guys who are going to ride them. This is what the motorcyle culture is really about to me.Riding what you can scrounge up and build yourself. No payments to make every month for a shiny new bike like every other guy has. These guys truly own there bikes. I enjoyed the movie very much. Don't expect the usual pace of a Hollywood movie. It's much more laid back and slow paced. It's like you were invited to hang out with these guys in the garage as they build this bike. Get a six pack and watch it.Will you be able to build one yourself after you watch it? NO. This is not instructional, it's just cool. My wife actually watched the whole thing with me. I thought she would get bored and leave , but she didn't. (the only downside)

Very cool film. I liked it . It was cool seeing the comradery between all the guys as they worked together in building a pretty cool scoot.

not what i expected !! guys talking in a garage !!

I grew up in the hot rod car scene. It is nice to see it so accurately depicted. Unlike Hollywood b.s. that never gets any non mainstream culture right.

Good documentary, reminded me of my old chopper days.

Interesting.

This documentary was not very good and not what we expected. I'd say the main dude likes the attention of his fellow "sinners" more than the motorcycles themselves. It was very weird in places and could have been a lot better if had been more about the bikes than a bunch of middle-aged wanna-be losers who still think they are in their early 20's. Would not recommend to biker fans.

ヨコハマHRCSでもおなじみの彼らだけど、最高にCOOL！ 翻訳テロップもないドキュメント映像の中で、これほどまでに伝わる映像はあるだろうか。 バイク、音楽、彼らの連帯感、SK8、とにかくSo-Calなカルチャーが伝わってきて、最高にいい。 買って、損はないDVDの一枚だ。

This is a really good DVD for anybody interested in building an "American" custom style motorcycle. It shows enough of the bike build to be interesting but not so much that it would become tedious for non motorcyclists. It also gives an insight into the lifestyle and philosophy of the men involved in building the motorcycle which is the central theme of the film. The film also has what I consider to be a good music soundtrack. Unusually, most of the musical tracks featured are played by bands who are friends of the bike builders. Some of the men who are involved in the actual bike build are also members of these bands. Not only that, but they can play music too. Very well in my humble opinion. Multi talented or what? The men involved in the bike build are part of a group who call themselves "The Sinners". They come across as being a great bunch of blokes and I am sure that most bikers will identify with them. My guesss is that any biker who is not already involved with a similar group of friends will come away from watching this DVD wishing that they were. The film contains a fair amount of footage of the bikes actually being ridden, with some really good music playing over these scenes. I have not enjoyed a "biker" movie so much since I saw Easy Rider and I would go so far as to say that the movie is better for me than Easy Rider was. Even the "extras" and particularly the ride out scene are worth watching. If you are into the chopper or bobber type bike, this movie is a must see. It even shows some really cool hot rod cars. What more do you want? Do not take my word for it,just buy it. You will not be disappointed.

Molto Bello da vedere

Da freut sich das Schrauberherz. Ein paar Jungs, die sich zusammengetan haben und sich The Sinners nennen, haben den Aufbau des Bikes eines ihrer Mitglieder/Freunde gefilmt. Es sind ein paar nette Ideen dabei, ab und zu denkt man "naja das würde ich an meinem Mopped anders machen. Nett gemacht, die Bildqualität ist gut, ein paar Einstellungen sind während der Fahrt gemacht, die sind nicht Oskarwürdig, aber das ist nicht das Ziel des Films. Macht auf jeden Fall Lust zum Fahren und Schrauben. Ein paar Bier, ein paar Kumpels und ein langweiliger Winterabend ist gerettet.
