Update on my Japan WRX STI and JZX100 Cresta!

The Art of Drifting: A Day on Track with Friends and Cars

As I sat in the passenger seat of my car, sipping on a drink and watching the action unfold before us, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. My friend Jimmy was behind the wheel, ready to put his drifting skills to the test. He had been practicing for weeks, and we were eager to see how he would perform.

"Alright guys, let's get this started!" Jimmy exclaimed as he pulled up to the starting line. We all cheered him on as he put the car in gear and accelerated down the track. The sound of the engine roaring to life was music to our ears, and we couldn't wait to see what Jimmy had in store for us.

The first few laps were uneventful, with Jimmy running up and down the track at a steady pace. But as he approached the final lap, something changed. He suddenly pressed the accelerator harder, and the car began to rotate around the turn. The tires screeched in protest as the car took the corner, but Jimmy's skills were on full display.

"Whoa!" I shouted as the car rotated more sharply than I had ever seen before. Jimmy was like a pro, his hand moving quickly over the gearshift as he expertly controlled the car's speed and angle of rotation. The crowd cheered him on, and we all felt a sense of pride knowing that our friend was out there pushing himself to be the best.

But Jimmy wasn't the only one who had something to prove today. My friend Adam had been practicing his drifting skills as well, and he was determined to show us what he could do. As we watched him take his turn around the track, I couldn't help but feel a sense of skepticism. Would he be able to match Jimmy's level of skill?

As it turned out, Adam more than held his own. He pulled off an impressive drift, and the crowd erupted in cheers once again. But what really caught my attention was when Adam made a daring move, pulling off a reverse drift that left us all stunned.

"That was insane!" I exclaimed as we all high-fived each other in excitement. "How did you do that?" I asked Adam, still trying to process the sheer skill and confidence he had displayed on the track.

Adam smiled and said, "I've been practicing for months. I know what it takes to make a drift work, and I was determined to show off my skills today."

As we continued to watch Jimmy and Adam take turns drifting around the track, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the incredible experience that day. Drifting wasn't just about driving fast; it was an art form that required skill, patience, and practice.

But as the day drew to a close, we knew that our fun on the track would come to an end. The track was getting worn down from all the action, and we didn't want to risk damaging it any further. So with heavy hearts, we reluctantly said goodbye to the beautiful scenery behind us and headed off to find some grub at the nearby hotel.

The car ride was filled with laughter and good-natured teasing, as we all shared stories of our favorite drifting moments from that day. As I looked around at my friends and their cars, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride knowing that we had shared an incredible experience together. And as we pulled into the hotel parking lot, I knew that this was just the beginning – there were many more adventures to come.

For Jimmy, drifting wasn't just about driving fast; it was about style and finesse. He loved watching his car's tires screech in protest as he pushed the limits of speed and angle on the track. And he took pride in knowing that he had mastered the art of drifting – at least, for now.

As we pulled into the parking lot, I couldn't help but notice how Jimmy looked in the dim lighting of the hotel lobby. He was like a rockstar, his confidence radiating from every pore. "You look really nice in this lighting," I said, trying to stifle a grin. Jimmy smiled and replied, "Yeah, yeah, you call me handsome."

We spent the rest of the evening swapping stories and sharing laughs, as we all basked in the glow of an incredible day on track. And as we parted ways, each of us knew that we would be back – with our cars and our drifting gear – ready to take on whatever the next adventure had in store for us.

I have to admit, watching Jimmy drive was a treat. He's got some serious skills behind the wheel, and I loved every minute of it. But what really stood out to me was how much he seemed to enjoy himself. Drifting wasn't just about adrenaline and speed; it was about having fun and living in the moment.

As we took turns drifting around the track, Jimmy seemed like a pro. He'd been practicing for weeks, and it showed. The way he moved over the gearshift, the smoothness of his footwork – it all came together to create an incredible display of skill and finesse.

But what really impressed me was how well Jimmy worked with his team. We were all cheering him on, urging him to push himself harder and faster, and he seemed to feed off our energy. It was like we were all connected by some invisible thread, working together in perfect harmony.

And then there was Adam – the mystery man of the day. I had no idea what to expect from him, but one thing's for sure: he brought his A-game to the track. He pulled off an impressive drift, and even more so with that crazy reverse drift at the end.

Adam is a natural behind the wheel. The way he moves over the gearshift, the speed and agility of the car – it all comes together to create an incredible display of driving skill. And what I think really stands out about him is his confidence. He knew exactly what he was doing, and that showed in every lap.

As we watched Jimmy and Adam take turns drifting around the track, it was clear that both were skilled drivers in their own right. But it wasn't just about speed – it was about style, finesse, and having fun. And I have to say, they all brought something unique to the table.

But as much as we enjoyed watching them drive, it's not every day you get to watch a group of friends push themselves to new heights. Today was an incredible experience, filled with laughter, excitement, and adventure. And as we parted ways, each of us knew that we would be back – with our cars and our drifting gear – ready to take on whatever the next adventure had in store for us.

The final lap was always the most intense. Jimmy's tires were screeching in protest as he pushed the limits of speed and angle on the track. The crowd was cheering him on, urging him to go faster and harder. But Jimmy wasn't one to back down from a challenge. He gave it everything he had, leaving us all breathless.

But just when we thought it was over, Adam made an unexpected move – pulling off a reverse drift that left us all stunned. The crowd erupted in cheers once again, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the sheer skill and confidence displayed by our friends.

As we watched them take their final laps around the track, it was clear that both Jimmy and Adam had proven themselves to be top-notch drivers. But as much as they enjoyed their time on the track, it's not every day you get to experience the thrill of drifting with your friends.

And so, as we reluctantly said goodbye to the beautiful scenery behind us and headed off to find some grub at the nearby hotel, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the incredible experience that day. Drifting wasn't just about driving fast; it was an art form that required skill, patience, and practice.

The car ride was filled with laughter and good-natured teasing as we all shared stories of our favorite drifting moments from that day. We talked about Jimmy's incredible drifts, Adam's unexpected reverse drift, and the way the cars seemed to come alive on the track.

As I looked around at my friends and their cars, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride knowing that we had shared an unforgettable experience together. And as we pulled into the hotel parking lot, I knew that this was just the beginning – there were many more adventures to come.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwell guys after an 18-hour flight I am excited to let you know that we are officially back in Japan and what better than showing up to an airport to my GCA waiting for me in the parking garage Sam was a real G and he was able to have his crew drop the car off so I literally got out of the terminal it's ready to go full tank of gas because we got a bomb up to ebisu I'm trying to get up there before the track closes get my stuff sorted I'm the late one of the group as for getting up there so uh I got a bit of a haul ahead of me and there's some new bits with this car some you might be able to see some you might not we're gonna go over once I can get to a rest stop because I want to get out of the airport area it's stressful for me once I'm on the road I'll be chilling all right so I said some stuff got done to the GCA and it all started with a blown out axle boot I think I showed him when we were at Sam's shop but basically a boot had cracked it was slinging in all the axle grease all over my exhaust so it stunk it was on its way out so so conveniently enough monster sport the legendary shop that you might be familiar with from Initial D or from the sticker on the hood of my Evo uh their shop is actually right down the road from Sam so originally I was taking the car to them to get the axles rebuilt just so I didn't have to deal with it when I flew in it's messy gross not fun thing to do and that kind of turned into a bunch more stuff first of which I don't know if you guys can tell difference just from the audio in the car but before this thing was a rattle bucket and now I learned that gch compared to the evos that I'm familiar with don't have really any sound deadening and they're kind of tin cans they tend to ride a lot but I had two 18s on it electronically adjustable ones where the electronic part was broken I think the shocks were starting to get blown out and they were super stiff they were great when I took this thing on the track but driving anywhere else and a lot of the roads here are pretty bumpy this thing was just like not enjoyable to drive whatsoever it may or may not have been able to score a set of olins that up garage and again I was trying to land and then do coilovers on this car so I had monster take care of that too ride is great they nailed the alignment height could probably be a little bit lower but at least it's drivable where it's at I think it's similar to what it was before you know rally car short gearing high RPM for long periods of time on the highway had them do a fluid change not only oil but pretty much all the fluids in the car just give me peace of mind having a new car just driving it right off the lot works but I like to have a little more peace of mind and then while it was there they noticed that my rotors were cracked so kind of gave me an excuse to upgrade the brake system you'll be proud of me I resisted the urge to do a full Big Break endless get on the car but I was able to Source a really cool set of two-piece endless rotors for the stock brakes on this car that was actually really impressed with the brakes on the car I was just getting a bit of fade so I got endless pads now two-piece endless rotors in the front and then endless rotors in the rear along with stainless lines and better fluids so if I wanted to take this thing on the track or do some tailgate runs with it I could have confidence in the braking and then last but not least the icing on the cake if you remember I had a floppy shifter that was going whenever I was driving it they swapped out the bushing for me one less thing that I need to do is now this thing is tight and I can shift my gears with no fear I'm a nerd and I think it's the coolest thing that monster sport worked on my car even though they do stuff with like mostly Suzuki Swifts now it's still a legendary shop and even if it's just a maintenance bits it's cool to me about two hours left of this rainy drive but we're making good progress thank you a little binding R34 Skyline pretty cool Drive getting into town almost at the circuit made it in time just before close we're here baby it's about time we're all here together Jimmy JP and Grant who I missed at the last semester for showing up baby thank you for showing up you've been here it's raining and look who else look oh this thing's clean right right DCT Hydro right here hidden it's ready yeah oh yeah this will be our first mystery together as well I I know it's gonna be fun once I fix the clutch though yeah first big things wait you're making a joke about the clutch no I had to actually go fix my clutch is my car is loaded on the on the on the rig right now to go do a clutch yeah I guess you guess you stole my spare clutch oh no this thing's sick so old girls chilling here I'm trying a different tire this time got some more rears this time around I'm trying a little bit wider Tire with the 265 instead of the two three fives at like eight pounds hopefully I can run a little bit more pressure on the two six fives um what's up you were running though 375 is that low yeah and the problem is I would just wear through the sidewalls like crazy so like you can kind of see here Adam yeah they just you don't get any life out of the tire and this is what bummed me out last trip because I have a brand new set of tires and then they'd be cooked but they still look like this so there's all the tread but the sidewall's gone so hopefully the 265 fixes that huh it'll happen 10 psi 35 No eight let's see Jesus I've been running 30 this whole time we got this one over here how you been hi cargood yeah was this me no no that was me chill chill chill chill chill chill chill good drives everything I hate you today it was sick dinner dinner let's do it dinner up garage first sorry wait are you actually gonna brush yeah I have to go sell a set of coilovers there really yeah they're in my trunk taking a bunch of space so I like that perfect that's cool put them towards my wheels we're doing a quick track walk on the Minami apparently we're gonna get a drive it this weekend it was all covered in dirt before but underneath they kept the original surface it's a little grinded up but it does look driftable so we'll see what happens but we might get to hit the jump this year thanks for the for the drink Grant it's from Jimmy's coin purse look at it it's cute all right Jimmy you need to try my favorite drink okay this is my favorite drink I don't you're gonna be shook to you it's good yeah sure it's refreshing well you try this before come on we've tried everything cheers he always does it no no just just let it happen it was good I didn't think there was chunks in it yeah Warzone when there's chunks in there liquid this will be the second thing I've ever sold at up garage the first thing was the original set of two-way coilovers that was on my Cresta I got like over a thousand bucks for them so I'm hoping the teens get me maybe a grand that'll be a nice dinner I wish we had one of these to sell parts out in the US it's called eBay evenmotors.com check it out that's the same nasr that was there last year it's been yeah it's crazy so I got a whopping hundred dollars not as much as I thought but then zero dollars you're not wrong and I got my trunk space back so and that's the most important part first morning going to the track so cute well that's a hell of bummed because there's a nationwide shortage of pizza buns pizza man yeah I know I'm so sad I I didn't tell you I ordered the last ones ever at the Family Mart they said they're going out of stock so I ate all of them is that why everyone's pissed at you no they're okay to be fair there's only three and actually I didn't eat all of them I gave one to Grant to Chrissy and then I had one all right oh well it was in an earthquake yeah it was pretty scary actually I I had a few people believe it was just my Subaru cult starting in the morning my quest to be first on the tire machine was a success small little assortment and it'll be easy since they're new wheels and new tires I'm gonna get four mounted up that way I can just have fun with everyone today they've all been here driving for the past couple days so I got some catching up to do we all want some fun all right I got my tires mounted about ready to go out it's been a while since I've driven this thing and I'm excited to try it out with the the new tire setup hoping that it's loose enough we'll worry that it might be too grippy but driving class cars on 265s it was fine so yeah give her a quick walk around zip tied up some bumpers to make sure it stays together and I think we're ready to go rip one other thing that's slightly different about this trip I actually brought a Hans with me uh after my last crash at FD Long Beach I'm just a little bit paranoid about my neck especially already having back injuries and stuff with how gnarly we drive here how kind of crazy the stuff that we do is I figured it would be good to be a little bit more diligent about my safety this is their carbon one super light I actually use use like a hybrid Hans device when I borrowed a friend of mine's one of these it was actually a little bit more comfortable so I'm going to try this for this trip and try to do a little bit more diligent about my safety it's always a special moment when you got your first lap back out on North look at my mirrors looks like I'm good definitely can spin the 265 it's no problem gotta get back used to how this car drives feels like I might actually need to air down the tires more than I have them right now we'll do a loose lap just to get the hang of it so you can remember my wheel work on this thing I don't think I ended with anything bent but let's see all right let's see how she feels I feel like I gotta loosen the tires a little bit all right here goes nothing not bad for first lap it's just a little loose think if I lowered I'll get more side bite kind of help with some of this feeling definitely can't sleep on the wheel work it's a good car the wheel's a little far away from me let's see if that feels better having the Hans is nice but I'm definitely not used to driving this car with such limited head movement on this track all right second lap here we go all right damn this thing's just buttery all right I'm ready for Tandem ically Colette's first day driving north she's working on getting the full sand patsu down because before she would just kind of go clutch kick at the wall and then enter where I think now she's actually coming over the crest and drifting so we're gonna check it out foreign yeah you ready to go yeah I'm ready you ready ready to go let's go right now ready to go yeah yeah go hey I do damn it warming up his stiff so he doesn't blow another transmission up yeah I did two laps yeah uh good enough it took me like two laps to get the hang of the steering wheel I was like I'm Gonna Save my tire for the boys okay let's go this car I think Colette almost bought but she didn't because I had a bigger turbo yeah but I can't tune this power FC I'm so scared yeah you can you figure it out give me a quick whip check 20 seconds oh pink babe goes hard uh 100 it's half a Mark II half a chaser probably cut half car my first easy fun gonna have some fun yeah I'm pretty hyped hell yeah I'm stuck right here dog I was very nervous and then I did a few laps and I'm ready hell yeah hey hey what are you doing I'm just making sure you still stop boy I know you Adam I know you too I'm the one the only everyone else for getting a bigger Turbo Mr 400 horsepower me yeah stock turbo put on the dyno okay you got one for me all right first tandem we'll follow Grant he added boost so I heard his car's a lot faster oh it's not that bad too bad there a little bit better vehicle placement not good there is on my I might be with the first section definitely uh kind of got myself pinched off in that later bit I got a new helmet it's fogging up really bad I don't know what it is so I've heard Jimmy's really leveled up his driving on this trip I'm excited to see mom baby dive in a little bit too hard there and had to back off be careful now here so I can attack not too bad for the first laps out feel pretty good about them all right now we got a bird's eye view of collab whoa see what she's doing coming up the hill not bad decent speed not bad nice wide line you have a door Mark here that transition made my butt pucker oh I was a little greedy uh definitely a little bit greedy there like fun big backy let's see if I can pull it is nice I didn't even need to pull out much angle I like that all right let's enter right on his tail all right there we go first door marks of the trip dived a little bit aggressively there but we'll bring it back home here chill with uh the angle I think I'm snapping to a lot of angle and that's kind of what's causing me to have a difficulty keeping up the car's sick PB did a good job prepping it tires feel good awesome that's my favorite part of the day favorite part of the day so good ing stuck there uh that was it that was good that's cool I think I still have my tires cool down yeah we've got a bunch of trains but me and Jimmy haven't really driven together yet at all so we're gonna do some some twinsies I'm excited

foreign are you impressed he's going to check his Mark are you impressed by Jimmy's driving paint back to back to back that was great mine's so much fun I'm so proud of you I said I'm so proud of Jimmy a hundred times he was the easiest person to follow like oh God very good chef's kiss people I love you that was so much wrong dude as far as this close of donuts together as possible that was bad that was so bad he could do better than that two no we just need to all start together that worked kinda hi Jim uh Adam said he was gonna go drive like an idiot so I asked him if he wanted me to grab his camera yeah he's already done already dude all right let's see his front wheels are already at 80 psi Adams I know I know let's see what he's got up his sleeve hold it that was right on the rumble strip too that was good that was like uh uh that that was so dope because it was a backy but he carried speed yeah it was just gangster but I think Jimmy I just want to say one thing yeah yeah you look really nice in this lighting right you call me handsome look at yourself you call me oh Steve Grant uh but uh we're gonna need him to park it yeah yeah let's blow that clutch apart so much just happened in 30 15 seconds that was a lot of stimulation there stimulation I'm so sick because like he keeps it going it's not just like backy dead stop go yeah he goes backy and I'm still in this thing and he's still in it so so sick it's so like so much harder than it looks it is really difficult to do backing like to do it properly and continue keep your speed up it is not an easy thing to do so you see this oh is she so she's delicious what she saw oh that was sick that was so good you know the whole time he's like damn it damn it damn it it's like a road grader out there to spit and gravel we've lost about a foot of the track thanks to Adam but it was worse from the track all right track's closed well Adam that was a hell of a way to finish I know you'll be editing this Adam so we just want to say great job you probably won't even put this part in oh great job good job right that was inspiring you're in you're you got whoa Jim what did you say dude all right good night cool did I do what I said I drove like a it was amazing you Shot Gravel about 80 feet over the trees and it was the coolest thing I've found millings everywhere dude that last one I was just like I'll stay a minute because I'm not going in the dirt y in the dirt does it count it counts yeah no it was good yeah I asked you up that was one where I was just like yo I don't know if this one's coming back well it was dope because you didn't just park it like you kept it going well so the biggest thing that I tried to do with bakkies I hate when you see someone do a backy and then they make a bunch of steering Corrections and pull out all their angles yeah so like if I can do it and then wait to get on throttle for like the rear end to come back around first I feel like it looks better yeah it does it looked awesome great job love that that's my favorite thing about North Course um Jimmy said it was Bianco what does that mean you can look it up on Google and that was a fun way to end the day good time good time doing back East man I swear my Subaru looks higher I think I gotta lower the front it's kind of a little reverse rake to it right now but it still looks good I'm gonna Rebecca with the hotel so I get out of this and go grab some grub with the boys next video is definitely not going to be daily I'll probably take two or three days and just make something really good but I'm gonna

favorite drink okay this is my favorite drink I don't you're gonna be shook to you it's good yeah sure it's refreshing well you try this before come on we've tried everything cheers he always does it no no just just let it happen it was good I didn't think there was chunks in it yeah Warzone when there's chunks in there liquid this will be the second thing I've ever sold at up garage the first thing was the original set of two-way coilovers that was on my Cresta I got like over a thousand bucks for them so I'm hoping the teens get me maybe a grand that'll be a nice dinner I wish we had one of these to sell parts out in the US it's called eBay evenmotors.com check it out that's the same nasr that was there last year it's been yeah it's crazy so I got a whopping hundred dollars not as much as I thought but then zero dollars you're not wrong and I got my trunk space back so and that's the most important part first morning going to the track so cute well that's a hell of bummed because there's a nationwide shortage of pizza buns pizza man yeah I know I'm so sad I I didn't tell you I ordered the last ones ever at the Family Mart they said they're going out of stock so I ate all of them is that why everyone's pissed at you no they're okay to be fair there's only three and actually I didn't eat all of them I gave one to Grant to Chrissy and then I had one all right oh well it was in an earthquake yeah it was pretty scary actually I I had a few people believe it was just my Subaru cult starting in the morning my quest to be first on the tire machine was a success small little assortment and it'll be easy since they're new wheels and new tires I'm gonna get four mounted up that way I can just have fun with everyone today they've all been here driving for the past couple days so I got some catching up to do we all want some fun all right I got my tires mounted about ready to go out it's been a while since I've driven this thing and I'm excited to try it out with the the new tire setup hoping that it's loose enough we'll worry that it might be too grippy but driving class cars on 265s it was fine so yeah give her a quick walk around zip tied up some bumpers to make sure it stays together and I think we're ready to go rip one other thing that's slightly different about this trip I actually brought a Hans with me uh after my last crash at FD Long Beach I'm just a little bit paranoid about my neck especially already having back injuries and stuff with how gnarly we drive here how kind of crazy the stuff that we do is I figured it would be good to be a little bit more diligent about my safety this is their carbon one super light I actually use use like a hybrid Hans device when I borrowed a friend of mine's one of these it was actually a little bit more comfortable so I'm going to try this for this trip and try to do a little bit more diligent about my safety it's always a special moment when you got your first lap back out on North look at my mirrors looks like I'm good definitely can spin the 265 it's no problem gotta get back used to how this car drives feels like I might actually need to air down the tires more than I have them right now we'll do a loose lap just to get the hang of it so you can remember my wheel work on this thing I don't think I ended with anything bent but let's see all right let's see how she feels I feel like I gotta loosen the tires a little bit all right here goes nothing not bad for first lap it's just a little loose think if I lowered I'll get more side bite kind of help with some of this feeling definitely can't sleep on the wheel work it's a good car the wheel's a little far away from me let's see if that feels better having the Hans is nice but I'm definitely not used to driving this car with such limited head movement on this track all right second lap here we go all right damn this thing's just buttery all right I'm ready for Tandem ically Colette's first day driving north she's working on getting the full sand patsu down because before she would just kind of go clutch kick at the wall and then enter where I think now she's actually coming over the crest and drifting so we're gonna check it out foreign yeah you ready to go yeah I'm ready you ready ready to go let's go right now ready to go yeah yeah go hey I do damn it warming up his stiff so he doesn't blow another transmission up yeah I did two laps yeah uh good enough it took me like two laps to get the hang of the steering wheel I was like I'm Gonna Save my tire for the boys okay let's go this car I think Colette almost bought but she didn't because I had a bigger turbo yeah but I can't tune this power FC I'm so scared yeah you can you figure it out give me a quick whip check 20 seconds oh pink babe goes hard uh 100 it's half a Mark II half a chaser probably cut half car my first easy fun gonna have some fun yeah I'm pretty hyped hell yeah I'm stuck right here dog I was very nervous and then I did a few laps and I'm ready hell yeah hey hey what are you doing I'm just making sure you still stop boy I know you Adam I know you too I'm the one the only everyone else for getting a bigger Turbo Mr 400 horsepower me yeah stock turbo put on the dyno okay you got one for me all right first tandem we'll follow Grant he added boost so I heard his car's a lot faster oh it's not that bad too bad there a little bit better vehicle placement not good there is on my I might be with the first section definitely uh kind of got myself pinched off in that later bit I got a new helmet it's fogging up really bad I don't know what it is so I've heard Jimmy's really leveled up his driving on this trip I'm excited to see mom baby dive in a little bit too hard there and had to back off be careful now here so I can attack not too bad for the first laps out feel pretty good about them all right now we got a bird's eye view of collab whoa see what she's doing coming up the hill not bad decent speed not bad nice wide line you have a door Mark here that transition made my butt pucker oh I was a little greedy uh definitely a little bit greedy there like fun big backy let's see if I can pull it is nice I didn't even need to pull out much angle I like that all right let's enter right on his tail all right there we go first door marks of the trip dived a little bit aggressively there but we'll bring it back home here chill with uh the angle I think I'm snapping to a lot of angle and that's kind of what's causing me to have a difficulty keeping up the car's sick PB did a good job prepping it tires feel good awesome that's my favorite part of the day favorite part of the day so good ing stuck there uh that was it that was good that's cool I think I still have my tires cool down yeah we've got a bunch of trains but me and Jimmy haven't really driven together yet at all so we're gonna do some some twinsies I'm excited we're gonna cross our swords out on track your camera just shut off Jimbo yeah fine Grant's gonna film for me now that he's a big YouTube guy I don't even know what you're talking about now Sparks foreign are you impressed he's going to check his Mark are you impressed by Jimmy's driving paint back to back to back that was great mine's so much fun I'm so proud of you I said I'm so proud of Jimmy a hundred times he was the easiest person to follow like oh God very good chef's kiss people I love you that was so much wrong dude as far as this close of donuts together as possible that was bad that was so bad he could do better than that two no we just need to all start together that worked kinda hi Jim uh Adam said he was gonna go drive like an idiot so I asked him if he wanted me to grab his camera yeah he's already done already dude all right let's see his front wheels are already at 80 psi Adams I know I know let's see what he's got up his sleeve hold it that was right on the rumble strip too that was good that was like uh uh that that was so dope because it was a backy but he carried speed yeah it was just gangster but I think Jimmy I just want to say one thing yeah yeah you look really nice in this lighting right you call me handsome look at yourself you call me oh Steve Grant uh but uh we're gonna need him to park it yeah yeah let's blow that clutch apart so much just happened in 30 15 seconds that was a lot of stimulation there stimulation I'm so sick because like he keeps it going it's not just like backy dead stop go yeah he goes backy and I'm still in this thing and he's still in it so so sick it's so like so much harder than it looks it is really difficult to do backing like to do it properly and continue keep your speed up it is not an easy thing to do so you see this oh is she so she's delicious what she saw oh that was sick that was so good you know the whole time he's like damn it damn it damn it it's like a road grader out there to spit and gravel we've lost about a foot of the track thanks to Adam but it was worse from the track all right track's closed well Adam that was a hell of a way to finish I know you'll be editing this Adam so we just want to say great job you probably won't even put this part in oh great job good job right that was inspiring you're in you're you got whoa Jim what did you say dude all right good night cool did I do what I said I drove like a it was amazing you Shot Gravel about 80 feet over the trees and it was the coolest thing I've found millings everywhere dude that last one I was just like I'll stay a minute because I'm not going in the dirt y in the dirt does it count it counts yeah no it was good yeah I asked you up that was one where I was just like yo I don't know if this one's coming back well it was dope because you didn't just park it like you kept it going well so the biggest thing that I tried to do with bakkies I hate when you see someone do a backy and then they make a bunch of steering Corrections and pull out all their angles yeah so like if I can do it and then wait to get on throttle for like the rear end to come back around first I feel like it looks better yeah it does it looked awesome great job love that that's my favorite thing about North Course um Jimmy said it was Bianco what does that mean you can look it up on Google and that was a fun way to end the day good time good time doing back East man I swear my Subaru looks higher I think I gotta lower the front it's kind of a little reverse rake to it right now but it still looks good I'm gonna Rebecca with the hotel so I get out of this and go grab some grub with the boys next video is definitely not going to be daily I'll probably take two or three days and just make something really good but I'm gonna be listening your comments as always let me know what you want to see and I'll do my best to make it happen for you see ya foreign\n"
