[@mattiusvalentine3127]

I got into tall bikes, as well as swing bikes, and other various chop shop style rides as a kid. Now at 44 it definitely shows that a lot of these creations were inspired by the low rider culture. If I ever had the chance to be in LA, visiting Mannys shop would be a blessing. Keep up the fine work, and thanks.

Most if not all Mexicans have Aztec blood, we come from Warriors naturally. Our ancestors were so advanced for their time. But do you what was the greatest weakness of the Aztec Empire? It had a lack of unity. We must support our own and unite. We have such a rich culture it’s insane. All over Mexico there are PYRAMIDS, each with its own story.

47 years old and from Louisiana. Customized bikes was a big thing here in the early 80's. The police got involved because we were stealing hood ornaments for our bikes so the news announced if you're spotted with a car ornament on your bike without a receipt you will be arrested. Cali took it to the next level but they wasn't first Extended forks, high rise handle bars, and banana seats on a beach cruiser was how it started.
