Corsicana, Tx. based custom bike builder Christian Dotson scooped top honors in the FreeStyle class at the weekend in the first round of this winter's Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show World Championship affiliate competition, hosted at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show series opener at Dallas, Tx.

Dotson won with 'Swingshot', the radically styled project built around a 93 inch Accurate Engineering 'Panhead' style engine with which he announced himself on the custom scene by scoring an impressive 10th place in the AMD World Championship in 2007.

The win in the Harley-Davidson sponsored Modified Harley class was taken by Michael Daniel (&Lobo&) with his Low Rider Bagger; the winner of the inaugural Performance Custom class, a new class for the World Championship program, went to Mark Adams.

The series now moves on to San Mateo, California (November 19-21), followed by Seattle, Wa. (December 10-12), Long Beach, Ca. (December 17-19), and resumes after the Christmas break at Detroit (January 7-9), taking in consecutive weekend stops in Washington, D.C., New York City, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Chicago and Greenville, South Carolina, before the series' grand finals at the Ocean Center in downtown Daytona Beach during Bike Week, March 9-12, 2011.
