This book uses a grid system that nodds the motion of driving and bounce of hydraulic systems. It also creates vignettes and utilizes the range of photography and various viewpoints, which results in a cinematic presentation.
Low Rider Culture is intrisically Latin and specifically Mexican. This is highlighted in the book with photography of traditional dance performances and tight knit family units.
