I would like to say thank you and that I greatly appreciate that you have provided a huge and important aspect of your culture for everyone to see – whether they’re Raza or not.

In 2020, I decided to my collection of rare lowrider media and upload them online in the name of open-access. Ensuring that access to these incredible pieces of lowriding history remains available.
