Facebook for Bikers? ChoppertownNation.com Launches with a Roar

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 17, 2009

New motorcycle-themed social network for bikers launched by indie filmmakers gains traction with hungry niche. Applying the same core principles that enabled them to inspire a motorcycle film making renaissance, producer/directors Zack Coffman and Scott DiLalla have created a website for grease monkeys worldwide who share a common love of choppers, crotch-rockets, Harleys, Triumphs, cafe-racers, and all motorized two-wheeled vehicles.

 

Back in July of 2004, filmmakers Scott DiLalla and Zack Coffman had just begun the first day of shooting their first film, a self-financed motorcycle documentary eventually known as Choppertown: the Sinners… “We just couldn’t stand all the establishment knuckleheads telling us that a biker movie couldn’t succeed, so we picked up cameras and got to work,” recalls DiLalla, We just wanted to show people that a film doesn’t need big stars or a big budget to touch people.” Coffman remembers, “We wanted a title for the film that meant more than just a description, we wanted it to represent a fantastic place where everyone could ride, chop, weld, play music, and hang out with buddies. That’s when we thought of Choppertown…”

 

It’s four years later and the company they started (One World Studios) now distributes more than fifteen underground biker movies worldwide and is in the process of releasing their fourth and fifth films while also preparing for a number of exciting initiatives with one of their sponsors, the Williamson-Dickie Mfg. Co. (Dickies) including screenings of their new film the Harbortown Bobber.

 

“We’ve been blown away by the response to the site (choppertownnation.com),” says DiLalla, “I guess we always kind of operate on the premise of build it and they will come.” And come they have; the site boasted over 3,500 photo uploads and 100,000 page views in only its first three days. The average bounce rate is only 25% and time spent on the site is over 10 minutes per visitor which are numbers any major corporate site would love to have.

 

Choppertown Nation features free video and photo upload, chat, events, blog roll, a forum, and even a job board. Says DiLalla, “We tried to make the site as flexible and fun as possible while providing members access to news and information important to them. It’s about bringing together different people from all over the world who share common interests. It’s about respecting the work.”

 

The site will also offer giveaways, contests, and quizzes nearly every week with prizes provided by sponsors such as Dickies, Biltwell, Lowbrow, Lick’s Cycles, and Dice Magazine.

 

Says Coffman, “We always envisioned a website where folks could gather away from the mainstream and share stories and pictures, and maybe make a new friend or two along the way. We couldn’t have done any of this without the support of our fans. Thank you.”

Abbey and Peter Crouch’s Honeymoon Gift List

Jason Statham and Sophie Monk

Abbey Clancy has managed to remain friends with her ex, Jason Statham, and we would guess that in celebrity circles that means an invite to the wedding of the year. But what will an actor qualified in mixed-martial arts buy from the couple’s honeymoon gift registry? Well, we can only imagine that he’ll leave the present buying to his new girlfriend, Sophie Monk.

Like Abbey, Sophie was once in a girl-group. However, her band was slightly more successful than Abbey’s, and Sophie managed to secure herself a couple of number one singles. We’re sure that Abbey could use some career advice, or failing that, we think that a great present for the couple’s honeymoon gift registry would be the hire of the exclusive Lime Green Records studio in Dubai. A day’s package at the studio involves tuition with a singing coach, as well as a recording of your own single on CD.

We just hope that Abbey and Peter don’t go all Jordan and Peter Andre on us, and subject the world to another album of duetted Disney Songs.

Ashley and Cheryl Cole

Cheryl and Abbey are used to going head-to-head in FHM readers’ polls, but in reality these two WAGs get on really well. We’re almost certain that the well-manicured Cheryl and Ashley will be happy to contribute to the honeymoon gift list and speculate that they would treat them to the original gift of a group day at a luxury health spa. But whilst we feel that Cheryl, Abbey and Ashley will feel right at home at the Grand Spa in the Hyatt Hotel, we can’t imagine that Peter would be so relaxed in such metrosexual surroundings. However, seeing his new wife coated in the chocolate-based massage treatments that this spa specialises in is certain to change his mind, and we’re sure that if they were to buy this gift then it would prove to be a welcome addition to the honeymoon gift registry.

Wayne and Coleen Rooney

Abbey likes shopping nearly as much as Coleen and both girls certainly know the secrets of mixing designer and high street. But whilst the streets of Liverpool are the venue of choice for these WAGs, we would imagine that Abbey will choose to indulge in her little retail habit whilst on her honeymoon. We speculate that a seasoned shopper, like Coleen would add a shopping tour in the Emirates to the couple’s honeymoon gift registry and whilst the couple are bound to indulge in all their designer favourites the honeymoon gift list excursion commonly offered throughout Dubai aims to introduce them to some more traditional souks, where they can drop some dirham furnishing their six-bedroom house in Alderley Edge.

Janice Dickinson

Janice and Abbey paired up to present “Abbey & Janice: Beauty and the Best”, following Abbey’s efforts to break into the American modeling market. But whilst Abbey’s attempts we’re clearly not very successful, we’re sure that Abbey wouldn’t hold that against her co-host, and would probably even provide her with a wedding invite. In the first episode of the series Janice forced Abbey to dive with sharks in the Liverpool Aquarium, and we imagine that this initiation could very well make an appearance on the honeymoon gift list. The Dubai Mall is the place to go if you want to dive with sharks in the Emirates and as the mall is practically Abbey’s second-home, we think that this extreme sport will provide a romantic start to the couple’s dream honeymoon.

We’re sure that with WAGs the world over hoping to secure an invite to 2010s hottest event, there are bound to be many more crazy additions to the couple’s honeymoon gift list. But with us guesstimating grand gifts of sharks, shopping trips and spas, you can only imagine how disappointed we’ll be if the couple opt for a rather more demure wedding gift list in Argos.

Crouch fan site

Crouch is an international football player from England who at present plays for the EPL for Portsmouth. In Pompey, Crouch came to be known as a distinguished striker. He hit 18 goals during 37 group matches in just one term at Fratton Park. He knocked 12 goals during 27 group tournaments and was signed on behalf of Liverpool for 7 million pounds for a 4 year agreement. He tied up with Southampton in 2004 for a charge of nearly £2million. He made his Saints first appearance by a 2-0 crush to the ex-club Villa.

Crouch made his global first appearance for England vs. Colombia in a practice match and occupied himself for his country at the World Cup in 2006. He was having the average of scoring one goal per game as he hit 14 goals for 28 England worldwide appearances. Crouch tied up with the Reds following the Champions League victory in Istanbul in 2005.

Crouch was a part of the 23-man team for the World Cup at Germany in 2006. Since Wayne Rooney was hurt, the Liverpool guy combined Michael in a World Cup match starter in opposition to Paraguay. He reserved his position for a follow up against Trinidad and Tobago, in which he knocked his first aggressive international goal.

Crouch also made two more alternate appearances in the tournament. Crouch scored possibly his most excellent goal, a dazzling scissor knock at home near Galatasaray in the 2006 Champions League. A broken nose continued against Sheffield United which disturbed his next season on Merseyside, although he went to net his initial club hat-trick in opposition to Arsenal; first with the left foot, second with the right and the last with the head. Crouch came as a substitute on behalf of Javier at the Champions League final in 2007, with just12 minutes left. Crouch was born on 1981 and played in reality for Tottenham.

His height is considered as one of his biggest strengths which make him very dodgy in the air. He has also some superior techniques for a participant with this height. Certainly he can be extremely complicated about the penalty region and can produce opportunities where there is no one near. But his main weakness is his inconsistency in the play. Crouch has participated in 5 Premier League clubs from the time when his career started. His proficient career began 7 years before at Tottenham.

The Crouch fan site started for him provides all the information’s and the biography of him with his full history which can be viewed by any of his fan at any time.
