Had the pleasure of meeting Logan and Shawn @ Episode One Tandem Battle at PGP this past weekend. At PGP they took home first place in the triple tandem competition and were doing some high speed early entries on the PGP Kart course. I saw this trailer a few months ago and the mustaches, humor, and mix of wake surf, bmx, and motorcycle burn outs made me stoked to meet these guys.
Stay tuned for more and my coverage of the PGP event on speedhunters.
Justin told me he would wear a gold Vegas Keep Drifting Fun shirt in a video – I had no idea it would be this video! Inspiring and very well done with Contour HD cameras. Thanks Justin for Keeping Drifting Fun and releasing fun edits like this one.
It’s time to sweat it out on the blacktop at Las Vegas Motor Speedway – here is a look back at Josh and I’s videos from 2009’s Formula Drift Las Vegas.
Excited to shoot magic hour in Las Vegas, my video from last year used all golden hour light and no night time footage. Going to try some very different things this year – for two projects in production over the weekend.
Swing by the Chris Forsberg/NOS Energy drink rig and say what’s up on Saturday. Pick up a gold KDF t-shirt if you get there early…
Found this link on everythingdrift.com of some drift comrades in Moscow street ripping. Once the video gets into full swing @ 00:22 – there is some solid street footage. Especially for night time. With a nice mix of on-car, side of the road, and 3rd car tracking shots – this edit really left me excited to see what else they have shot. Keep Drifting Fun in Moscow. Hell yes. Stoked to see manji from guard rail to guard rail.
Excited to get chopping on the Keep Drifting Fun teasers and trailers, so we can share our US response.
Challenge, track down Jarod DeAnda “The voice of Formula D”, Joshua Herron “Hobo”, or Will Roegge “No use for a nickname” – and ask for your free Keep Drifting Fun Las Vegas edition sticker. As with anything awesome, we’ve only printed 500, and you can only get them in person from us @ Formula Drift Las Vegas.
It’s like where’s Waldo, but instead of finding a goofy guy in stripes – you get a fresh sticker for your collection.
5 of 7 in our limited run Keep Drifting Fun t-shirt run – here is a preview of the Gold Las Vegas shirts. The money green shirts in Seattle sold out in 2 hours. We only print fifty for each round, so get in the know, and put KDF on your chest. We won’t ship them to your friend, or save one for you, if you are at Formula Drift Las Vegas – they go on sale Saturday. Twenty bucks. Get Fresh.
Chris Forsberg sporting his Evergreen Keep Drifting Fun t-shirt at Irwindale with his missile 13. Read about it on his blog.
Check out the turbo plumbing and through the hood exhaust. Nice work Chris.
We went for a new approach with this video using only Contour HD POV cameras. Contour HD came on board with us earlier this year with Keep Drifting Fun, and being based out of Seattle, WA we were able to get our hands on a few extra cameras, making this video possible. We absolutely love the Contour HD cameras, and recommend them to anyone looking for a great, inexpensive POV camera. Big thanks again to the guys at Contour for supporting us, and the drifting community!
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.
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.
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
June 20th-27th – Chicago
Let us know if you are in any of these places and want to go do some DRIFTING!

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
