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❤
saludos! blacks and chicanos gotta stick together
@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.
You from Detroit? What up doe
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
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'm from panama 🇵🇦. And i love the chicano culture..that's the inspiration to do my lowrider painting artworks
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.
This is a beautiful piece of history and an inspiration for the youth to never let their heritage die! Thank you for your film! #LIVINLOWLIFE!
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!
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!!
Thank you for the kind words, Rudy Rodriguez!
36 years from now I'll be your age hopefully I can make the same statement sounds like you had a fun time those good ol days god bless and thank you for your comment
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 !!!
Saludos to all the chicano peeps and the struggle y'all fought through! I'm Honduran but see us all as one people...
I'm a person who grew up in San fernando valley in L.A. and remember the beautiful ranflas and beautiful music and we all styled increased pants and shirts along with girls .I am Mexican American(Chicano) and I also embrace my my friends and primos hermanos de Centro y sur America.
We are one people. The government and society has brainwashed us to believe we are not one and the same but we are one people.
South Tucson representing that lowrider lifestyle 🇲🇽🇺🇲
Thanks for the video reminds me of low-riding days with New Wave 71 to 74 Whittier Boulevard East LA those were the sweet and crazy memory days
Great things can happen when people get together for the good.
Amen in jesus christ mighty name 😇
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 😂😭
I love lowriders cerveza y carne azada ,, but you all have to work out panzones,,,
Jesus Tadeo y pansonas 😂🍻🙋😄✌
Yes
The Low Rider community worked real hard to get where it is today. It is nice to see that all race is involved in the Low Rider Movement.
I'm white 75yrs from socal & love all oldies cars/trucks. Now TX. 😎
I'm mixed, and look forward to getting my first lowrider, already got ideas for the car type, colors, and sub style. I'm glad this community welcomes all who respect and know their history, there's so many great lowrider duenos y duenas
Truly love this video..........
"You know what? Saves que? This is me,Y QUE."
...*Sabes que? This is me. Y que?
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.
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
Its Always A great Honer to be Honored for the hardworking hands of parents mothers grandparents that died to have a home and a better place to live in comfort together.
Gracias 🙏🏻 for the Lowrider community !
I’m Salvadoreño 100 💯 but I love my Chicano friends 👫 you guys have taught me how much important is to stick together in a very positive way!
A carnal. We are the same. Mexicanos y BIG BAD SALVATRUCHAS. ( Cuzcatlan!!) ✊🏾🇲🇽🏹🪶🦅🦌 we’re the same BROWN brothers.
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
I wanna visit Chicano park one day
While you're there, make sure you eat at Las Cuatros Milpas 👍😎.👍 Only half a block away
Man....only chicanos can give there homeboys name's in Spanish that sound cool but in english man do they sound wrong. Like the "Queso" nickname in english is cheese. Just imagine hey cheese come here carnal.
Anime King the homie from Redlands is named cheese,lol ....oh yeah btw he is Chicano
Anime King I actually have a good homie named cheese from Compton. Solid guy
Anime King hahahahaha funny
Love the cars, love the respect, love the love! My heart and soul tells me I was supposed to grow up in So Cal! I'm just a dorky white guy that loves lowriders since I was a kid. Wish there were more lowriders on Long Island. ❤️
the truth Yeah lemme google some white dude from Iowa that drives a low-rider 🤦♂️💀
@ Jason enz don't worry what people say, lowrider lifestyle is worldwide! get your favorite car and start from there you can't go wrong! GOD BLESS!
Low Riding is a life style I'm pretty sure if a person respected the traditions any one is welcome, Love will always welcome love there's people in Japan cruising Low Riders.. CHICANOS FOREVER! ✌n❤ to ALL!
❤️❤️❤️
I live RIGHT down the street from Chicano Park, but I never knew about the massive groups low riders!!! I always see them passing by, hope to be able to talk to one of them soon :)

Thanks for watching!
Very chingon and informative, Y QUE !! This quote brought me back to early 80s, 83 to be exact, an alternative to leave the gang life into car club, Orale there is the difference.. and my respects to the senora speaking in spanish obviously habla Ingles pero representa con orgullo. Con Respeto Sleeps Aca en Orange County, Califas 13. Q-VO.
Mike Ornelas, a good man, great teacher.
FOR THE GOOD OF LA RAZA, WHAT WE CAN DO WHEN WE PUT OUR MINDS , CORAZON Y ALMA INTO SOMETHING POSITIVE VIVA NUESTRA RAZA.
As for me a white guy I love the low riders
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.
Que Viva Nuestra Gente Y Nuestra Cultura! Que Vive La Raza!!!
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.
simon que si i agree carnal! im from tj colonia guerrero por el canon jonson. y me ha cuerdo de los dukes ya andavan en tijuas back in the day en tijuas. mi familia emigramos en el 1971 .
Orale Homies saludos desde Compton Califas
I love the cars. Not my style but i look for inspiration everywhere. Craftsmanship can show itself anywhere. Really cool history here.
I was born in Africa, so I know how important traditions is. I love to see things like this....Viva Mexico..
Blanyon G not Mexican. Chicano 🇺🇸
@@adrianluca4984 you dont have chicano culture with out mexican culture viva la raza 🇲🇽
@@almightyjr9086 that's right
@ Adrian Luca you’re one ignorant person pick up a book homie for real ( in case you didn’t know this land was Mexican land you and I come From Mexico 🇲🇽) and if you ain’t Mexican keep your two cents in your pocket cause we don’t need them.
@ Afrikan G
Thanks for the positivity.
yes foreal I'm 16 I still want a 50s car
I want a 54 belair
“Whoa, we didn’t ask you that.”
This needs more views
The problem with blvd nights was that in E LA alot of gang members had lowrider style cars. When they made the movie they confused the lowrider driving gang culture for the car club culture
There were Car Clubs that were at war with each other in the 1960s-1970s. People like to sugar coat it but I was there
@@DBCooper363 u survived the jump?
@@sliderx1897 I saw and heard it all. Some clubs were affiliated with gangs.
@@DBCooper363 yea and some clubs were loosely gangs themselves
@@sliderx1897 Sons of Soul, Orpheus, Imperials, New Wave just to name a few
I’m just a white guy with Norwegian roots living in northern Minnesota- when I lived in Wisconsin there were many immigrant operated farms in the area- i am proud we have south and Central American immigrants here- your contributions are far too great to count- I am sorry we have such a shitty negative world today- thank you for being here and for being part of our fabric- makes me proud to share the planet with your wonderful culture- this is a fantastic video- thank you

Great slice of Americana. :)
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.
low riders may be all over the country and styled be a lot of different races but it started right here in east los califas by Chicanos that took pride in their ronflas so big up's to all those that like to low ride and make that shit hop. proud to be a Chicano from the southern part of California.
Alberto Lopez Florida has had its own car Seen that didn't start from cali

What a great tribute. ATM. Brings back all the memories growing up in the 70s and 80s in Segundo in El Chuco. Viva la raza!
Puro Raza! I remember them days in the 70s/80s cruising the calles. The car as stated was an extension of who we were, and we made damn sure we looked just as good! Dressed to impress! So, nice to see Chicanas dressed fine and smelling good!!..My heart and soul is still there, them days will never be taken away!..Orale!!!
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words!
Much Love and Respect to Ladies Pride C. C. Truly revolutionary in their time of a male dominated car scene. They definitely have their place in the history of La Raza.
Yo estuve en United Browns TJ Car Club en 1975 -1977. Fue el primer Car Club que traian Hidraulicos en sus carros. Tenian Hermosos carros. creo empezo en 1973 - 1978.
Los carros con hidráulico empezó en Los Ángeles. Fueron unos ex militares que le sacaron los componentes a un avión de guerra decomisionado.
No me acuerdo de ti?
Wonderful people.God Bless.

gracias for this
I would love to visit Chicano Park when the event is on but is non Chicano/Hispanic American etc accepted to visit? Your friend Aussie 😎
You will as long as you show respect
HOLY TURTLE ISLAND ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Lowriding/Cruising as a concept and in its word usage is African American. Sorry, but that’s the truth. Mexicans simply “participated” in a culture that already existed. Hydraulics, many ppl were into it. Lowering cars was already being done prior to the kiddos of Mexican descent getting their hands on it lol😂. Blacks have been lowriding since forever. When ppl think of lowriding, guess what they think of CRENSHAW BLVD😂.
You blacks didn’t even shit, every source on the internet shows that it was indeed started by Mexican-Americans, Blacks started low riding when Snoop Dogg and Eazy E started putting them in their rap videos, when people think of low riders they think of Chicanos, when people see 20 inch rims on a lifted 96 impala they think of Blacks 😂
Lies lies lies . Snoop Dogg appropriated
It this is 💯 Mexicano Chicano Cali
My people are to humble too
Inclusive with everybody they give a hand and they
take a whole arm. Haters gonna hate
Looking at your video , Now im going to check me piggy bank , I want a 57 chevy but Ill take a 55
IT IS BRACERO HATS, not Brasil hats.
Robert here, cruising is illegal on Highland Ave because a few bad apples. City council allowed a weekend in 2021. Afterwards there was trash, empty beer bottles, just trash businesses were complaining. Arrested a few for drunk in public, narcotics by the non car owners. Fans are the ones responsible for the bad part of Cruising, Lowriders.
I saw 200 thumbs down. Why? This is a great video...
Sadly but true there has been a lot of profiling because of gang banging adopting the style of lowriding, the dress and use of like old English writing so they see it and immediately profile. And as a solo white boy I know that Hispanic culture are warm hearted genuinely great people who believe in honest hard work and providing for there family. I grew up in the barrio of East Houston and I have respect and love for the culture the people. My dad would build like pro street muscle cars and his buddies too, and it's no different you know they would come together Saturday nights cruise the boulevard and would have car shows at the Sonic drive in parking lot. So there's no reason for the hate from others because though we are different we are very much the same in our way.
This make happy be Latino
Mexican American ❤🤍 💚
I love my Mexicans greatly! But truth is that they do everything we do... Always black doowop and oldies r&b in the low riders which is the foundation of it all and that's where it began...
total respect
Crazy my homie David comes out on this video from Latin pride car club el.paso tx.chapter..
Yes Chicano park under the coranado bridge❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
