Welcome to my blog. I'm calling it "Raised in Santa Barbara" and it is about all the things I see, do, love, create and experience.

LIFESTYLE

low rider

I saw my first low rider at the age of seven and have ever since been facinated by their style, esthetics and design. This is a very nice film by Stefen Brooks portraing the De Alba Family and their cars, a blue '64 Impala street hopper and a '63 Impala named 'El Rey', one of the most incredible low riders I've ever seen.

nice ride

A crazy film of a yellow, a red, a white and a green guy going down a forrest mountain on their bikes. I love this video. It makes me want to get my dusted bike out of the garage and take it for a spin to the supermarket.
