Even though the weather man predicted light showers for sundays carshow, mother nature had something else on her mind! RAIN! With rain pouring down on the Arizona Fairgrounds, it did not stop the the 2010 Lowrider Show from going on! Here are some pics from Sundays wet & wild show!

Posters By BigMandoaz.com

2010-03-02T19:40:00.000-08:00

Here is one project that I always like to do! Show Posters, are something that started out as a favor to a friend and now have lowriders asking for them. The BigMandoaz.com Show Poster starts off with a photo shoot of the owners car and finish as a custom personalized poster. Each poster is then framed into a black wooden (real wood) frame with real glass. They make a great addition to any carshow display!

I got a call from Antwon, a member from Steady Dippin C.C. from Phoenix, Arizona. He wanted to get a photo shoot done with his car. You know me I'm Always down to shoot up a ride. After I wrapped up the Sprockets Magazine shoot, we cruised further into the park and set up for the shoot. With a overcast of dark clouds looming over, it didn't stop us from shooting. Steady Dippin not only brought out a beautiful lowrider, they brought along a young beautiful lady to model too. Ms. Brianna did a very good job, and was a perfect addition to the shoot! Here are a few shots from the shoot. More pics coming soon!

BigMando Magazine???

2009-12-16T15:07:00.001-08:00

This is the outcome of boredom. I made this with nothing but my own photos of course. With a lowrider Magazine sitting next to me on my desk, it gave me an idea to create my own magazine cover. So I thought it was pretty cool at first. Now after showning it to a few friends, Im being told I should publish a few copies for fun. I will look into it. Who knows, you might see this on your news stand.

Uce, Techniques & Lowrider Supreme Doing it "BIG" in Arizona

2009-12-14T16:46:00.000-08:00

Uce Car Club Phoenix & Techniques Arizona hosted a unforgettable event in the east valley. The 2 clubs got together with Low Boy Motorsports, Lowrider Supreme, BigMandoaz.com & Sixty4 Promotions to host one of the biggest show & shine events in Arizona. By 1:00 pm Saturday the Low Boy Motorsports Compound was filled with 115 entires and had several hundred people strolling through the packed isles of custom cars in Mesa, Arizona. Did we mention the whole thing was free? Yes, no reg fee for all competitors that entered show nor did any spectators pay admission. Any one showed up to Low Boy Motorsports had a chance to check out some of Arizona's cleanest lowriders and custom cars from all over the valley! With the power of the internet we even had a competitor from Viejitos Car Club, Oxnard, California roll in to represent. It was a fun filled day with live music, food, and good people. At the end of the day competitors with the highest overall scores won a "Best of Class" plaque in their vehicle class. Society Car Club from Mesa, Arizona won the specialty award of "Most Club Participation!" Bringing in the most vehicles entered by one group. UCE Phoenix, Techniques Arizona would like to thank everyone who came out and supported this event. We are pretty sure will be filling up the compound again next year!
