I'm from Detroit, but lots of my family is from East Palo Alto, California I've been amazed by Low Riders since the late 70's when I first visited E.P.A., I now live in San Antonio, Tx. I'm black and my Wife is Chicana my soulmate, my Queen, my LOVE forever! If this life style hadn't been started we probably wouldn't have ever met. so I thank the founders and all who represent the Chicano life, I'm forever in debt. ✌n❤

Robert here, San Diego built a lowrider in High-school, welding shop, suspension, hydraulics. 72 Caprice Classic. The Chicanos helped big time in construction, fabrication, I did the stereo system. Familia heart and soul in the paint job. Chicano Park historical spot in Logan Heights beginning. Highland Ave cruising days had the finest Lowriders and Chicas. Thanks for dropping this video.

I think one of the best things about lowriding is that nobody judges, it's a great place for people to get together, show off there rides and have fun doing

Midwestern kid stationed in San Dog in early 80s and when we were in port, one of the best places to have fun and go watch the lowriders on the other side of Coronado bridge, and always had fun with the people too.
