TYRONE (BLACK MAN) - WOODRIDGE, ILLIONOIS. ALL I CAN SAY IS (WIPING TEARS FROM MY EYES) WOW! THIS DVD WAS LOOOOOONG PAST DUE!!! I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. PUT TOGETHER VERY WELL. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE THAT IS TRULY INTO LOWRIDING.
THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL, IS THAT YOU GET THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN VIEW OF OUR LOWRIDING. THIS IS SOMETHING FOR YEARS THAT LRM. HAS DODGED AND PURPOSELY TREATED AS IF IT DOESN'T EXIST. WHAT'S EVEN WORSE IS THAT SOME READERS OF LRM HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED TO BELIEVE SUCH THINGS.
IF LRM (OR ANY LOWRIDER RELATED PUBLICATION) WANT TO BE ON TOP OR #1 THEY NEED TO START PRINTING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ORGINS OF IT. AND EVERYBODYS CONTRIBUTION TO IT. BECAUSE NO ONE WILL EVER "CORNER-THE-MARKET" ON LOWRIDING. THERE ISN'T NOR WILL THERE EVER BE ANY ONE GROUP THAT DOMINATES IT. IF THERE IS ONE GROUP THAT HAS DOMINATED LOWRIDING IT'S GENERAL MOTORS. WELL OVER 90% OF THE LOWRIDERS BUILT ARE GM PRODUCT. SO, IF ANYONE CREATED LOWRIDING IT WOULD BE (BUICK, CADILLAC, CHEVORLET, OLDSMOBILE, PONTIAC) AND THEIR DESIGNERS THAT CREATED LOWRIDING.
THIS VIDEO PICKS UP WHERE YOUNG HOGG AND CALI SWANGIN LEFT OFF. TELLING OUR (AFRICAN-AMERICANS) STORY IN LOWRIDING. I'M SURE #2 WILL BE JUST AS GOOD (IF NOT BETTER) AFTER #1, I CAN'T WAIT. I'LL END THIS WITH THE WORDS OF CHUCK D, "..HISTORY SHOULDN'T BE A MYSTERY OUR STORYS REAL HISTORY NOT HIS-STORY...,":
Bean - New York City: What's up Mr Jim Brown, this is Bean (Kenny) from New York City.. I just had to e-mail you and let you know your DVD is a heavy rotation in my dvd player... I watch it all th time. Now I've bought all kinds of lowrider DVD's and tapes and I can honestly say you hit home with this one... I rank it #1 in my book.. I watch it VOL. 1 then the next day I watch VOL. 2... I can't say it enough... you hit home.. in VOL. 2 with John Cantrell from up North, to Dave from the Royals talking about how they feel about lowriding, Man I felt a soft spot.. I knew what they were talking about.. the only thing I don't like is that you are stopping at VOL. 3.. Maybe you should do a VOL. 4... I was at my buddy Marvins house Sunday night and we watched VOL. 2 and talked about the whole DVD... It's a classic in my book...
Jason - CITY N/A: Just wanted to thank you for the Dip'n series of DVD's. I own many, many lowrider DVD's all the way back to Young Hogg VOL. 1 and everything that came after it... and I consider my Dip'n DVD's to be the "crown jewel" of my collection. I feel that you have made a major contribution to the game with Dip'n.
I can tell that you do this from the heart and for the love of the game, and arent in it for the money like some of these other video makers that have never even had a lowrider in their garage. Hopefully! I'll get a chance to kick it with you sometime when I come to Vegas and talk about the following game.Just wanted to thank you for the Dip'n series of DVD's.

ROB & DIANA - CANADA: Hey Jim
My name is Diana. I ordered dipn 2 & 3 from you, and they just arrived yesterday. I just want to share a little bit of our lives with you, if you have the time to read.. please do....
My Fiance was so happy to see the dvds, and popped them in the DVD player one after the other as soon as I gave them to him.
I was amazed that as the video went on, he knew most of the lowriders (the people and cars) by names, and history on them. He has been an obsessed lowrider fan for years. He knew quite a bit about you too.. (living in Ontario, Canada, Im sure you wouldnt expect that)
When the dvds were done, he hugged me and thanked me for giving him the best birthday present EVER...
The reason why I am writing is to thank you for putting these dvd's together and also let you know that you have gained a new Lowrider fan - ME..
His birthday is tomorrow, April 13th. I know that you must be a very busy guy, but I was hoping that you could take some time out of your day to give Rob a quick phonecall to wish him a happy birthday, and encourage him to pursue his Lowriding dreams.
He had a 1989 Cadillac Braugham.. it was amazing.. we both loved cruising and working on the car.
When the winter arrived, Rob & his group of lowrider buddies put their cars in the garage they rented for restoration and hydraulic work, and Rob took apart the whole front end preparing for a motor swap.
We ended up moving away from our hometown where he and his friends had this garage for employment reasons, and both of our cars ended up going to the wreckers, and got crushed... He has been really upset ever since, and we have had way too many bills to buy another cadillac.
He is looking to buy one very soon so we can get back into the groove and away from the everyday stresses of life.
Rob is one of the very few comitted Black lowriders in our community. It was a great inspiration to see how many are out there in Cali.
If you have any copies of Dipn 1, could you please let us know??
Hoping to hear from you tomorrow, or sometime in the near future
Sincerely,
Diana

Your DVD's were off the Chain homie and LOOong Overdue.It was cool the way
you got into some of the history of the Game.
I have a few issues homie.
1)How come you didn't get to San Jose where Lowrider magazine started, and
Lowriding has roots deep. Instead you hit Sacramento?
2)Part 3 was good, BUT INCOMPLEATE,It needed more!I think a 4th and Final
DVD is needed to put the icing on the Cake homie.
Controversy is Good, it means people are paying attention. I think your
videos helped open alot of eyes, especially those not Living out here in the
West.
Keep up the good work homie.I really hope you come out with at least one
more Video.
LiL RiCC.

im from texas and use to be a stickman for lowrider shows in the 90s in the
houston and dallas shows.
ive bought every vhs and dvd out there.
but nothing compares to this. right now its 4:20 in the morning and i just
finished watching and im sleepy but im gonna put this back in and watch it
again.
OUR history in lowridin finally told. I remember when i juiced my grand prix in
89 everyone said i was copying but i tried to tell them about my cousins in
california.
Now i own a couple of Martial Arts schools and i have a TV show here in Waco Tx
- And im bringing back my 63impala to show the kids what we use to do.
And believe me DIP'N will be playin in that car every minute that its out on the
