American Chopper Volume One - The Memorable TV DVD Review

A reality series first seen on the Discovery channel that follows a father and son team, Paul Sr and Paul Jr, as they run their custom chopper building business Orange County Choppers, often at loggerheads the duo and their team spend each episode building a different bike for a special event and working to crazy deadlines.

SO IS IT ANY GOOD?

Each volume in this new series from Magna Pacific features 2 forty five minute episodes and whilst you might think at fist glance “oh yeh, another reality show” you will quickly find yourself hooked as the two Pauls work against the clock to produce some truly amazing machines, there is plenty of tension between the two as Paul Sr tries to keep the business moving whilst Paul Jr designs the machines (but also finds time to slack off and play golf – much to his fathers disgust).

This first volume sees the boys trying to build a “jet bike” using a fighter plane on USS Intrepid for inspiration and also building a bike for the Biketober Fest where things quickly get out of hands as time starts to run out. It shouldn’t be entertaining but it is – check it out.

Magna Pacific are planning to release the first three volumes of American Chopper on February 9 with two episodes on each disc, there will also be the option to buy the three in a box set edition.

ANY SPECIAL FEATURES?

Extras on each disc give you the opportunity to view just the actual cooking segments.
