Bikers are one of the most caring and generous groups of people on the planet. So it’s no wonder that the home of the biggest biker party would also be home to some tremendous acts of humanitarianism. With help from its kind-hearted campers, the Buffalo Chip® is making a long-lasting positive impact on the community.
There has never been a shortage of worthy local causes in need, and The Chip® has always been eager to “Chip in” whenever possible. Throughout its 32-year history, the Buffalo Chip has proudly contributed to countless organizations. From a Habitat for Humanity house built at the Chip by bikers for a single mother in ’94 to lingerie auctioned for breast cancer research in 2012, the Sturgis Rally destination does not hesitate to express its care with creativity.

During the Sept. 14 episode, viewers can see footage of Jessi leading the ride through the scenic Black Hills, as well as the Biker Belles auction, which included the sale of this magnificent motorcycle.

By now, it's likely you've heard of the amazing outcome of Clint Ewing's daring world record attempt in the Tunnel of Fire. Despite his years of careful preparation, Clint's attempt at the mother of all motorcycle stunts was unsuccessful—an outcome that could have easily taken his life. So whether you chalked it up to coincidence, good luck or divine intervention, one thing was certain—seeing Clint Ewing walk away from the same motorcycle stunt that claimed the lives of others before him was nothing short of miraculous.
Although Clint survived his world record attempt on Daredevil Wednesday, he unfortunately did not come out unscathed. The motorcycle stunt rider sustained third degree burns on his hands and back. After being taken to a California burn treatment center, Clint received skin grafts from his legs to aid in the healing process. If all goes as planned, with the help of physical therapy the motorcycle daredevil should enjoy a full recovery by the end of this year.
After a non-stop nine-day whirlwind of powerful performances, crazy contests and shocking stunts, the 32nd annual Motorcycle and Music Festival at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip® has come to a close. The 2013 Sturgis music festival packed in more events and more patrons than any of its festivals prior.
Events at the Sturgis campground officially began with the second annual Friday Fest kickoff on Aug. 2. The unparalleled Sturgis Rally pre-party delivered 12 hours of music on the main stage from six of the Chip's showcase performers, all leading up to the evening's pinnacle performance by heavy metal rockers, Queensrÿche.
The Sturgis Rally may have come to a close, but the memories will live on as Country Music Television (CMT) airs its first ever Bike Week, Aug. 18-24. CMT’s self-proclaimed “Seven Nights of Badass” features three different specials filmed at the Buffalo Chip’s 32nd annual Motorcycle and Music Festival. The 10 hours of bike-themed programming premiers nightly at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
CMT Bike Week gives viewers an intimate look at the music, culture and camaraderie that make up the Largest Music Festival in Motorcycling™.
