LOWDOWN ROUNDUP 2023
C
RUISINGUP TO ITS SECOND YEAR, THE LOWDOWN ROUNDUP BROUGHT THE HEAT TO DES MOINES, IOWA, LAST JUNE, BRINGING A NEW FLAVOR OF CUSTOM RIDES THAT THE LOCALS HAD NOT SEEN BEFORE. The roundup’s previous year fell in the middle of a pandemic and suffered from some unfavorable weather, so you could see the staff was anxious to put in the work to make it an incredible show. Starting off Friday with an already promising turnout, glow off, and afterparty at the hotel, I knew fairly quickly that their hard work was paying off—and the forecast called for killer rides and good times all weekend.
