Sonny Madrid will always be known as the Godfather of LOW RIDER Magazine & also for putting the low rider lifestyle on the map, also let’s not forget but give praise to Larry “El Larry” Gonzalez & Alberto Lopez for continuing the legacy of LRM from 1987 to 1997. Much respect to Sonny, El Larry, Alberto Lopez, the artist Mike Pickel & all the photographers thru out the years, thank you all for creating those memories……

Member on those Sunday night n cruising Whitter Blvd. Dam those we're the dayz. From 1978 to 1989 that was the place to meet up n check out all the firme rides. Low n side, miss those dayz🙌
Montebello Park, was happening on weekends, and still cars are parked there on Sundays. I'm 63 now, but I member them days back in the 70s and 80s 😎👊🏽✌🏽
I remember low rider magazine, I grew up in San Jose and crusing on Story and King and later on Santa Clara ST. And going to the outstanding car show at the Fairgrounds. Those were the days and I am so glad to be part of it.
We need to go back to our Lowrider roots and remember that we can from simple beginnings , It must be hard for our young kids . You don't need 100k to build a Lowrider , lowriding comes from the heart not the pocket.
Grew up in Baltimore and me and my buddies used to love reading Lowrider magazines in the 90s even though we didn't have a Lowrider scene here. Me and my homeboy were actually going to build a lowrider bike but we only got as far as a blueprint on paper and some bike parts 😂
I remember back in the 80's when i was a kid my uncle Carlos use to hang up the flyers for the car shows and he mentioned he knew and worked for Sonny Madrid. I use to help my uncle hang up the posters late at night and attended one of the shows and seen what i believed was Sonny's delivery chevy and also Joe Rays "Hollywood" and "Dressed to Kill". What an experience. RIP Sonny Madrid and Carlos Sanchez 🙏.
The history of Lowriding stared in Espanola, NM. Where Lowriding first started.!. Than it came to Los Angeles Ca. As a Lowrider from the early 70’s. We never expected this would have lasted a long time and Been a part of the history.!. Now, A 2019 NLHOF Inductee.!. It’s now the new generation of people and lowriding as it is today keeping the tradition alive and making it a great respectfully thing for all ages and generations to come.!.😎😇🎉🙏🏽👍🏽
Those were the days when we would listen to XPRS in the evening and listen to Bill Bird And Memo(aye que fine....) . Dedications from all the homies. Man I miss those days 😢. We all used to dress nice too. Guy's had their hair combed back and the girls had long hair black or dark red. Not many shaved heads on the guys.😊
What about the teen angel magazine what was the purpose of that magazine? All I remember was gangster girls photos and dedications it would be cool if you did a video on the teen angel magazine.
Aquí en México fue primordial para muchos jóvenes en los 90' y para mi fue una inspiración de amor por mi pais y mi cultura, low rider art firme por siempre! Viva la raza!
