November 7th & 8th, 2025

Fort Worth, Texas

Cruise through the legendary Fort Worth Stockyards, soaking in the sights, sounds, and history of Texas's most iconic western district—then shift into high gear with a signature event by Derwood. Where grit meets style, this isn't just a ride—it's a full-throttle celebration of music, machines, and spirit. 

I met Chris (PrometheanLiver) earlier this year while collaborating on a paint project. The more I spoke with him, the more I wanted to know more! Growing up outside of NYC to backpacking the world to learning to fabricate and build frames, Chris has lived many lives, and we get to hear about them in this episode!

I took a short road trip to Abilene, Texas, to check out my good friend Cody Childress' new build for Born Free Texas 4! He is building an M8-powered, fuel-injected FXR Chopper that's a beast! Cody Childress is a veteran in the FXR community, an Old Chopper Dog, and honestly, one of the nicest and humblest people I know!
