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❤

@Steven o nice assumption but nah, not against whites. i'm actually half white/half mexican. my point in saying that is there is a lot of unnecessary black on brown and brown on black hate. not so much here in texas, but definitely in california.

My older cousin started EPA first lowrider club in the 70's from the Gardens. P. L .R was the name of the club Professional Low Riders... His name is Kenny Lofton. I lived off the 410 before....rouge

I'm from panama 🇵🇦. And i love the chicano culture..that's the inspiration to do my lowrider painting artworks

Took me back to the good old days I will never forget my roots still a Chicano and Low Rider for ever, I'm 78 now and this video brought back the feeling of those days! GREAT PRESENTATION!!

We Mexicans always merging west coast hood lifestyle or lowriders with Mexican culture !! They always put Mexican flags, Aztec murals, Mexican flag blankets, Mexican toys or anything that’s from they Mexican ethnicity into lowriders. This will never make it only a Chicano / Mexican thang or change where lowrider originated from which is West Coast - California. Lowrider is for every race not only Chicano. - FACTS !!!

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 it.....

Dave Buckman naa foo mothafuckers Judge a little too much sometimes and if u don't have what they have they don't shut the fuck up 😄 it can even be the same year car but different color and not the same upgrades on it and those bastards would act like bitches not saying the ones here on the video but I seen it happen around Cali sometimes they think they have a ego that is only 4 batteries and act like they got a 9 😂😭

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.

Great things can happen when people get together for the good.

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.

I truly love this documentary, I grew up in San Diego and know a lot of people in the lowrider community. I learned alot of things i hadnt known about the history of lowriding in San Diego!

Im not into murals, but that 29 Willys is simply perfect, even the murals are very well done and subdued. I'd love to roll it.

Excellence. In cruising.. That is my dad's time And I didn't live it., But proud of his heritage and I carry his blood with high honor.

I love the cars. Not my style but i look for inspiration everywhere. Craftsmanship can show itself anywhere. Really cool history here.

The underlying theme is not lowriding but Systemic Racism against people of color. People being discriminated against, having their land use dictated to them and them fighting back. Salute and Respect

All the responses here are awesome my father was a rider when he attended high school leading in cars I grew up with cadilacs and Chevy Belairs loved it

Love my history of the Chicano Life Thank you for sharing an Amazing Video With Awsome Respectful Memories 😊

Love this Doc and the History Thank you!

Started LowRiding from 1970 to.... til now I guess, my 39 Still in my Garage.. I had a 5" stack of tickets that I could have bought a Rolls... and still havent got to to all of them! .. damn pigs.. Something interesting in this video about the Dukes. I am from TJ and my first years lived en La LIbertad parte Alta where I saw a car Club. My house was right to the side of a JONKE YARD VASQUEZ. I would see the Libertad Pachucos jumping the fence to pick parts includineg my uncle! ANYWAY.. many Years Later, I was a Welder at Utility Trailers in So LA where I met these 3 Brothers from Tijuana La LIbertad.. Julio, Oscar and Fernando. I immediately clicked with Fernando because we were both from TJ and he would tell me about how him and Julio got into cars. So now, it all sorta comes together, The RUELAS Brothers started the DUKES in LA but I believe that the Original DUKES were from TIJUAS.. Not Sure but the TIMING seems to point to that. If Anyone has more info on the Original TIJUANA DUKES history please post.

BUT, and its a big but. Aircraft hydraulics used on cars re from engine feathering pumps. Landing gear units are useless in lowriders. You would think the OGs would get it right, or at least that before puttin out the final cut everything is checkd. Still a great film.

Orale! Respect

cool, living the dream , great culture, love hotrod choppers a lowriders all cool

Not really related to this, but my dad's a mechanic and my Tío Celso paints cars, so I find this really cool
