Lowrider Japan
Lowriders in Japan? There is a small lowrider subculture in Japan with it’s own music, fashion, community and lingo. That subculture is growing thanks to car shows like the lowrider show which is held six times a year across major cities. Classic American cars like the Chevy Impala have been imported and customized to look gorgeous but what really sets them apart from other custom cars is what they do: hop.
Fitted with hydraulics and powerful batteries these lowriders are made to hop, jump and sometimes crash while rising several feet into the air. Hopping contests are held at lowrider shows where judges look for maximum height without the cars breaking down.
