Mann Made: A Chopper Fest Documentary 2026

In this original documentary, Mann Made, we go behind the scenes of the most iconic gathering in the custom motorcycle world: Chopper Fest. We sit down with Cary Brobeck of Choppers Magazine, the man now steering the ship of this historic event. Cary shares the deep-rooted history of the festival, tracing it back to its founders, Dave "Huggy Beahr" Hansen and his son Tory DuVarney. Discover how their vision created a lasting tribute to David Mann, the legendary artist who defined the aesthetic of the outlaw biker soul. What’s Inside: The History: A look back at how a tribute to David Mann became a global pilgrimage for builders. The Stars: Spotted on the grounds this year are Josh Brolin, Brian Bowen Smith, Gilby Clarke, Eddie Perez, and skate legend Steve Caballero. The Action: We take you inside the Kickstart Competition hosted by the one and only Danger Dan—where iron meets effort. The Best in Show: See the incredible craftsmanship on display and find out who took home the coveted award for the 2026 Best Build Competition. From the salt air of Ventura to the roar of vintage engines, this is more than a bike show—it’s a piece of motorcycle history.
