Behind the scenes

Thanks again for showing me around and giving me something to film! It was way rad.

Engine #2 in the Westy is now dead. The van is currently with our new friends at Further Performance in Minneapolis, MN waiting to get back on the road. With little to nothing in our pockets at this point, we are hoping for the best on getting back on the road.

Wish us luck as we work to get the Westy back home to Los Angeles, CA.

Here is our latest release with NOS Energy Drink. Shot and edited by Will Roegge & Joshua Herron.

Chris Forsberg Formula Drift New Jersey – Teaser from Joshua Herron on Vimeo.

Monday June 21st, 2010 we will be releasing our edit for round three of Formula Drift – New Jersey.

The edit documents Chris Forsberg’s weekend at Wall Speedway and through the competition of Top 32.

We are excited to release it and share it with everyone. We’ve been pushing ourselves to change the style and presentation of our coverage. This new edit is a departure from the previous round’s video – which was based around Chris’ interview. 2:35.1. Aspect ratio, sound design, no talky, more dropping the hammer Nissan Titan V8 goodness.

Get Ready.

June 9th-11th – New Hampshire
June 11th-12th – Maine
June 13th – Buffalo
June 14th-15th – Pittsburgh
June 16th-17th – Columbus
June 17th-18th – Cleveland
June 19th – Detroit

Second day in Charlotte….BOOM

First thing in the morning we hit the road to check out our friends at MMI (The guys who manage the Drift Alliance guys, and a bunch of Nascar dudes as well)

On the way to MMI it started raining pretty hard and just after I noticed it was raining, I looked out my window and saw this dude hanging out in the lake. Stick it to the man, rain can’t stop you from having a good time!

The Westy parked in front of MMI. Pretty rad building.

Blair Stopnik of MMI greeting us as we took over the office for the day.

After MMI, we met up with our friend Kelly of K2Forma again to check out where she does all sorts of hood rat stuff. Party town, U.S.A.

Posters and other various things hanging on her wall in the office.

Somehow we ended up back at MMI to not only take over the office, but to have some fun on their ridiculously awesome simulator.

The Falken Drift/ASD crew had been here earlier in the year and kept track of their times on Road Atlanta. So I jumped on the simulator to see if I could better or match their times.

After a few laps around the course I could only manage to pull of a 1:26:214

That’s it…more later on.

Westy hard parked in our friend Eric’s driveway in Richmond, Virginia. The camper shell is starting to get better covered in stickers and vinyls. You can help us out by swapping stickers with us – send us some of your stickers and we’ll ship you out some Keep Drifting Fun stickers.

At Formula D Atlanta Pro AM, we rigged out Andy Sapp’s BMW with our CountourHD cameras. Then we gave Andy the footage and he cut the two angles together. This clip is from his second qualifying run. Its awesome to see how pumped everyone up in the grid gets following the run. Plus how psyched Andy is following his run. Andy destroyed it, after years of driving Road Atlanta he linked the entire course beautifully and pushed practically into over drift. Yes, over drift.

Nice work Andy. How was that entry… TIGHT.

Chris Forsberg – Formula Drift Atlanta 2010 from Joshua Herron on Vimeo.

Directed by Keep Drifting Fun aka the bearded dudes who run this blog – Will Roegge & Joshua Herron.

Our goal with the edit and coverage of Atlanta was to follow Chris Forsberg through the competition. Starting with practice on Thursday, we outfitted the car in VHOLDR Contour HD Cameras and documenting Chris’ weekend. The NOS Energy 350z ran well and Chris took out opponent after opponent in the top 32. Ending up finishing 3rd.

Check it out and let us know what you think of the edit.

Keep Drifting Fun arrived in Charlotte, NC on Monday night. We headed to our good friend Jacob’s house. His place is pretty sweet, lots of rad things all over (more about that later on).

Kelly from K2Forma greeted us in the morning to take us around town, and show us what’s awesome about Charlotte.

After checking out the city, I rode with Kelly to a local camera shop where I saw this camera on sale for CHEAP…so I scooped it up so I can start documenting my day to day activities. Plus I’ve been in need of my own personal point and shoot for a long time now.

Back to what I was saying about Jacob’s house. Here’s a few shots of cool stuff around his house. (more in the next post)

Next on the list was a surprise birthday party for our friend Caleb Clark at a pretty cool spot in Noda called Dolce Vita

Spotted some KDF stickers on Calebs water bottle….canteen…whatever, it was rad. Thanks dude, and Happy Birthday again!

Kelly also spotted the latest issue of Blu Magazine, which also has a half-page ad for Keep Drifting Fun. WORD!

SHAZAM

Backtracking here for a second…The night we got into Charlotte, Jacob spotted this place on the newest episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, which is also conveniently located next door to Dolce Vita. So eating there was a requirement.

The place was pretty neat inside. Had a bunch of cool stuff hanging on the walls. Plus the guy on the right was loosing his mind. Felt real bad for the dude, but it was pretty entertaining to watch. Kept me busy while we waited for our food.

OH DAMN. BBQ Mahi Tacos. I’ve got nothing else.

DSTROYR
