Buckshot, gruesas, and lowriding.

We bring on the charismatic Victor “Skonka” Alvarez. Born and raised in San Diego, Victor began his journey into lowriding as a youngster; with bikes being his passion, his ambition to have his very own car when he grew up never left him. As others have, Skonka shares his memories of hopping on the trolley with his friends and going to check out the cruising that would take place on Highland Ave. Although he has had a list of rides, Skonka shares about his beloved ‘76 Glasshouse that was given it’s special touch by our very own, Manny Cisneros and goes back to tell us how he got it, the shit it’s been through, and what’s next for it. Not only does he contribute to lowriding with gruesas and his famous Skonka Juice, he uniquely crafts custom grilles and hard lines that can be seen on rides all around. True to the ‘70s, Skonka is a proud member of Street Style Car Club and can be seen pushing everywhere; to the local streets of San Diego, to Glasshouse Fest at Elysian Park, it’s always a party if he is there. Aside from lowriding, Skonka shares his love for gruesas and his cherished MD 20-20 and embodies being a true ambassador of a good time. The Glasshouse Gangster, King of Gruesas, and MD20-20 Ambassador; there will never be another like Victor Alvarez and we appreciate the true artist that he is. So kick back with a gruesa, some Skonka Juice, and celebrate the life of Victor Alvarez!
