How low can you go? Cars and Chicano culture – in pictures | Art and design

Xavier, 6th Street Bridge, Los Angeles

Vanessa AKA Chingona: “My mother supports my child having a lowrider bike and thinks it is important for children to know the concept and know the true meaning of owning your own bike. So I want him to grow up and know the value of it, and be able to keep it as he gets older or pass it on. People see us as if lowriding is just about gangs, but that’s not the case, it’s part of us, it’s our culture. It’s very important to me that he knows that.
