OUTSIDERS Japan - Feature Length Film Drifting Documentary

[Applause] I've been there before I lived there and all that sort of thing and I really wanted to take somebody else anybody that would listen to Japan and show them what was going on so that they could really understand it you know it's it's a different thing when someone says to you like oh yeah this this is what it's all about this is how good everybody is and everyone goes yeah yeah yeah you know we've all seen the videos but when you stood there when you stood on on the wall of a circuit or you know I stood on the curbing at Street and the cars come and past you you know some horrific speed like that is the moment when it goes click [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] to clear my mind [Music] of you pick up my four you girl just to tell you love you [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] don't [Music] [Music] when we arrived there you know since so many videos of drifting footage from Japan and in a way I secretly hoped there was every bit of those as good as those videos you know portrayed as being turns out I wasn't really disappointed we've seen so much we've seen videos we've been watching DVDs for years you know that's the stuff that goes into interested in drifting in the first place but we've never been there so we went to have a look and see what what goes down there [Music] for those travel passes Shinkansen everybody dollars yo the colors flow this is the vice impasse it's my grubby singing else [Music] [Music] the plane I went straight and did this [Laughter] nicotine patches on that good then I dropped my bag down the massive escalator being it that's my I know about Japan you can put your ass you know your cart down the escalator yeah you have to put your bag behind the guard otherwise it falls [Music] just by your introductions HD with cinnamon is actually 15 getting fish to you [Applause] [Music] part one and the owl tries to eat series trains trains fishing you haven't done food was horrible [Music] so what can you tell us about this this delicious traitor looks like Parmesan cheese smells like is grated some it yeah it smells like fishy grated cheese wise girls look how thin it is the work it's pretty nice there's really nice rubbery disgusting just emotionally in her purse they went like is not made of chocolate the negative result it's like salt and fish together [Music] [Music] [Music] please all of us hope you guys are pissed off so because the police of that endeavor wrap to share the range it's even louder than normal to let the police know that they pitch that further so those guys be back in a minute it's like a billion off more like the streamer what shitload about homeplace [Music] yeah these guys are so good because the parking areas for like an hour a away at least ago that kind of like Japan's like auntie society you know they considered themselves like outcasts or outside it's like us instead of fitting in they they stick out you know they make noise and make trouble because they you know they don't want to be part of the everyone else in a place where everything's so regimented and so formulated and everything must fit inside it's it's neat tidy box that to have something that is just for fun and is just crazy and has no regulation and and you know it can be very free and very stylistic I can certainly see the attraction to people to sort of go out and rebell a bit against against this you know very heavily regulated formulated society the bosozoku guys are all in you know in a team the team has a leader the team has you know the second the second place guy you know the right-hand man left on whatever you want to call them but there's a structure there there's an order which they follow there's a particular Rev that they do you know a particular callsign that they do to say that they're that gang they all wear a particular uniform so although it's kind of like empty social in the sense of it all going around making a ton of noise being morons there's still a particular way that they go about being morons same with the the drift guys you know the the street guys there's certain rules that you have to follow to run on the street [Applause] we tried to go out and find some Togo some strict lifting without very much success bit disappointing for the first night [Music] currently it's 10 to 3 we're now two hours away from where we're staying in the middle of [ __ ] nowhere probably trying to find some drifters we've got we've met a couple of guys who said we should head up this way couple of potential drift cars behind us but don't actually know if they're in a drift so we just saw yes travel for about eight hours thinking oh it's just around the corner it's just around this corner and met up with a few guys who sort of done a little bit and and called it a night and yeah sort of like we got back it's 5:00 in the morning some 5:00 in the morning that's a wasn't the greatest start but you know it could only improve from there [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] UNT to be our which is absolutely awesome met up with via my son who's super friendly guy really really loves what he does as well um builds he's in saying drift cars for Suzuka to drive cool I got to go because I'm a star I'm not number BR my why is the other name oh here it is how did you meet Tezuka and begin driving with ginga with t1d uro has revealed at all give another little Margaret over there as Rita Meeta there's another Richmond I'd soon Tenga Shiva cake you know uh disco we're just having a little look at the PR three to four suspension setup this converter McPherson strut like we've done on drift work so our 32 as well it's got GP sports and of course I think they've been modified a little bit for strength standard lower arms lengthened about 25-30 mill where looks of it just standard trip keeping that the good standard ball joints and interesting brace here as always pretty cool other modifications are too bit harder to spot yeah rock forward again another trick that we used to in the UK now and there's a really nice job of it and it looks like probably twenty-five thirty male can move forward I think this is a brace I think normally found on the S 15 again converted for a little bit more rigidity at the frontier and yeah it's all it's all just done to a really high standard obviously they've got a lot of expertise in in the suspension setup in success that they've had over the years and this is just tantamount well we've got also really tidy work with them but things like the screen quite effects eyelids on it but yet it sort of just really neat tidy hit right where it needs to be Hollander gearbox and never look at the clutch inside there as well it's all just serious better Kip breather tank for the gearbox as well mind your head there's a rambling top she tops we're the back we've got had the high caste removes cusco arms standard lower arms looks like maybe standard pushes as well so it's got camber I just meant some toe adjustment catch Tankian at the back here as an interest in dual rear caliper setup it might be easier to see from the other side here and yeah this is the car that's seen a fair bit of action as you can see and a few tours of duty I think a lot of a lot of time spent in this car by solutely I think and then we've seen over there a brand new car [Music] [Music] superheating to get to touch anything there are tearful that educates the turbine gt-r set up a lesson 680 horsepower but at low boost I think prices are for bar the previous car was convert McPherson strut this retains skyline double whisper in front of suspension the suspension is is the standard setup seen as having the comments of the older cars it's like an auntie stall you like so when the car goes to extreme angles go out there is that the wind's hits in air means the theory is shipment to go beyond 90 degrees gives a bit more stability whether it works on all of them much better work [Music] so passionate about about his garage his place he showed as a few little secret things I'm not allowed to put on film and things I really really loves it and next door he's got a drift RC track and everything so we had to go at that [Music] yeah we have rice [Laughter] looking at the professional cars with their milled alloy wheels and their adjustable chassis and bearings amazing [Music] there's a drip run upstairs to be probably the first time I've ever done drift RC but kind of got the bug for it a little bit now I'm thinking what bit of spacing drift works probably make room for a little RC track yeah [Music] [Music] over there it's you know it's it's kind of funny like you can you can just choose anything you want to do you could be into collecting stamps or you could be into buying little dolls of like girls dressed up in Philly dresses or you could be into drifting or golf or whatever the hell it is it doesn't really matter as long as you're into it and you take pride in in what you're doing with that subject you know [Music] you know if you see an old guy like 65 70 years old playing with a radio-controlled car here like drifting it round you're gonna look at him you go that guy's a weirdo he's just hanging around because there's kids it you know and it that doesn't happen in Japan they look at that old guy and girl look he's having fun I go and talk to him I wonder if what he's doing is fun wasn't or can I do it can I can I have fun too you know like they don't look at it and go oh he's hanging around where kids are playing with his remote-control car he must be a pedo [Music] little time that we spent in Japan it seems that drifting is up he's almost like an escape from sort of the normal life out there initial impression certainly if this the city would just it just doesn't stop doesn't stop this constant noises things happening things flashing things moving around whizzing around it was it's pretty mental it must be hard to switch off I hate the noises there's just you can't cross now meet me meet me I can see how drifting would take you away from that completely because it is a different world like the street guys are taking big risks every time they go out it's big big risks so you know you you can watch it you can watch your video you've got no idea what those guys are putting on the line the level of command was just unbelievable [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] today we've come to kiss up it's kind of important places to come because the guys who originally built facilities for on this amp the owner Takayama had a sort of random meeting with a one local Nissan dealers who said oh we've been we've been making these cilenti's would what do you think you know you wanna have a look so I showed him one the guy said I'll fix it up with Nissan they made a deal and then they made he was 500 cars fallenness a guitar is really popular in an employer because it's one of the old shops so they've been going around Takayama he loves cars and still loves doing it all the guys here like d1 street-legal Drive illusion but it's one of the coolest shops and you're going [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so we're gonna miss it the cooler shops that kids are mind control and make see they're all like the original badass drift chops from the bio [Music] okay now we've turned up at a place called MC our factory which is mind control waste in the countries mind control is pretty much most balanced team in item these guys are the best on the street demon street-legal drivers limit see drivers if the guy who runs the place and after that with everybody in Japan a new voice one of the biggest step of becoming drivers now so he's apparent like the same as Nakamura like to die girl he's one of those guys as you can see the place is full of ridiculous casters four or five more like d1 spec cast his Southside is making for customers and people like this stuff these guys are really famous for the paint jobs as well you Cortese really so we show you around some of this artwork if you like [Music] like he's he's come through Street drifting does he know why all the drift team names are always in English Nandi I know Nihon Aikido Monday a go-between T me more Eagle people mind the control tower bus focus switch on to English agnostic dose it's cool [Music] okay so Japanese think English goal and the Brazilians think Japanese is good yeah and this like just like we have like kanji on our cars engineer like that you know it's the opposite it's the reverse yeah so you finally figured out the vending machines simple red-hot blues cold so you can have cold coffee you can have hot coffee yeah it comes out red hot can hurt Santo as a whole random man your vitamin drinks big on vitamin drinks here about me what the hell they've got in a month I know but somebody was telling me one of the drinks have nicotine [Music] No [Music] [Music] Oh [Music] [Music] see 11 now no and it gets harder famous lady 11 now no all the time but I won't go so you let me tell my lies that I better alone she get by [Music] [Music] [Music] and just to look at the tuning section in also folks just mad that you can go to to their high street shopping by alcoholic it's to evoke its induction gets into I think I'll have the lamb with rice please Phil what you want Phil what many as you want to want the Swift sports turning them [Music] [Music] the pinnacle of Jewish you could be with a massive diamond I've got diamonds have Everett look Frye's holder is luxury potato holder that's all here to buy a local potato holder but isn't a luxury potato isn't that like 30 quid here it's luxury yeah but isn't that like this there's a lot of money for a potato the first time I went to Japan was a long time ago now like 2001 so originally I went there because I was into Honda's oddly enough so I went over and looking at Honda stuff and I sort of picked up a little vibe of what Japan was about since then have been a few times and then spent like some time living there and things like that and each time I've been there I've I've understood a little more about Japan and and the way Japanese people operate you know that they're quite different to us cuz they take pride in every elements of it like McDonald's over there I don't like McDonald's but like McDonald's in Japan because it was made properly morning guys I thought I'd just show you what it's like in a Japanese room as opposed to an English woman which is a quite different are you just woken up selling big dope basically have to excuse me well this is the room we're in at the moment it's a turnaround it really is so this is quite a nice hotel for us it's quite expensive extremely expensive halogen fan is very expensive and we're nagoya at the moment so you walk through the door and you're basically presented with space for a bed space for a desk space for you to walk between the bases in will stop with bed it's kinda interesting yeah focus properly yeah that's a rock-solid say they're actually really comfy I really like that I don't like sinking to let miles so the pillows really they put your horses don't deform your faces on them but emotionally in the back there's a racism obviously keeps them all wet down the bathroom now again very compact and inexpensive but Jason a really small off which is really small but obviously and then the interesting bit it's the toilet to be honest mental this is all clean network which comes into the toilet it fires up this heating system and so the toilet seats actually really warm let's sit down you've got a standby but intended and I've got the warm seat and the disinfect their deodorizer things as opposed to the rooms then when you finish the business yeah press this and something here it literally moves out and sprays a jet of water right at we burn amazing electronic toilets did manage to you know investigating the buttons with Japanese script on them yeah press the wrong one kind of fired a load of water at my face so the Japanese approached to anything no matter how much of a a menial task it might be is that you should do it to the best of your ability for example you have guys in Japan that make cups of tea professionally I mean I could profess to do the same but the level in Japan is obviously way way higher it's a it's a level of excellence in everything that you do based solely on a sense of pride in in your accomplishment the the general way of life out there is really different that when people are doing their job they're very proud to be doing a job so it doesn't matter what is if they're working in a convenience store for instance and we saw lots of people there they welcome you to come in genuinely not like America we feel like they're being forced into saying I welcome and the Japanese apply that to everything they apply that to to the drifting as well you know they want to achieve that level of perfection so because they push that way in every aspect of their life if they choose something to do it they do it a hundred percent that's what they're committed to you know so they'll go in not pushing or pushing and they'll try and achieve this perfection really [Music] you two types of shrines in Japan right you gave you a Shinto shrine and a Buddhist shrine okay Buddhism is based off of like evil shop Shintoism is more about the different gods the creators probably Greek you know the different gospel things so it's like even some of the shrines have like your special own like suppose it's like for example you go there's a special shrine you go to for business purposes like oh I want to have good luck with my business so I'm gonna do this Ryan up in doors in Japan it's a long drive from where I live but really the main purpose behind the shrine was to get away from everything and go through a journey to where you can actually walk and kind of contemplate stuff and you have like ideas yeah introspective that's what what you do is you come in here go over here wash your hands wash your mouth up but you washed your left hand first because your right hands the last there's some or do they do it in I don't know exactly watch their mouths out then and come over here yeah throw your money and ring the bell first this rope goes up to a bell ring the bell to get to the attention of the guards throw your money into the whenever you call it into the box clap pray and then say thank you about turn around leave and that's everyone does it [Music] [Music] it's a coincidence this one's for good-looking business yeah it's like protect yeah good luck charms poor leaf clovers Japan has those yeah we're gonna have a good day yeah we had a pretty hard day a day so we decided to sort of let her hair down a little bit today you know do some traditional Japanese fun thing [Music] to win your chance to potentially get Ebola controlling our mechanism with the special potato hook on the end to win [Music] weird and effective their people 3033 pays amen and then we ended up in a karaoke whoo yeah pretty amazing place and some pretty amazing things happen that night a lot of it I can't remember and I imagine some of which will be stuff that I don't want to see on film [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] [Music] we went and met Shane from K tours and picked up a couple of drift cars so for the second half of our tour we did most of that from Sylvia's skyline's coupler nice little kei cars hello so it's half eight in the morning is quite cold and today we've come to be Haku Highlands so we're in the absolute backwards ass end of nowhere and the place is gnarly and what else have you done today oh yeah I kicked everybody's ass in this stupid little 600 CC k cup as you can see the pits are now completely empty we're here nobody else is here we win you lose all right slipper Haku it looks quite small on videos but as you can see the track is actually quite wide and quite long so you can get quite a speed up sort of thing but there will show you through the danger points of this course number one it's actually coming out onto the main straight you can't see it in videos but there's a big old ditch at the side of the track right there and you can see from the tyre marks that people do actually run into that ditch and on the edge of that ditch if it's only like anywhere else in Japan it's pretty much if you scuff it that makes you cool if you go in it you're a [ __ ] if you're not close to it oh you're being a coward so that's danger point one of well pretty much 50 but I'm gonna go through three so let's go to the next one so I am the clipping point on the fastest part of the course basically see these very big sort of high-speed up straight through here but if you look straight and you see the lines that way that's what happens if you [ __ ] it up supposedly the idea is you've got to touch these with the front bumper change the direction fast enough that you don't go into the hill and then make it round that part of the court so the clipping point is danger zones - this is this is probably the worst one on the whole course this is one I look at and go that's kind of scary because this is also I don't know if you can really see it on video that's level right here and that's sort of kinked so if it catches you it wants you to go the wrong way they do point to next so welcome to danger point three basically you've managed to miss the tires on the horrific lean Ollie caller with bumps all over it it's not to crash into that Bank you managed to get to this point to stay sideways now what you're gonna do is not touch these tires of that big metal railing which is actually the new safer version of be Haku the reality is that tires like this grab the back of your car dig into the ground and then love to flip you over so you've got to kind of miss those but danger point three is kind of massive is if you just managed to make a pass these stupid tires then there is well I guess actually I'm gonna call it the safety zone so three danger zones one safety the safe thing is that big lump of gravel and sponge over there so if you kind of like made it round all the gnarliest bits but you you go a bit too fast at least one foot nice and soft to slow you down a bit so that's pretty much the main straight of the Haku and the three ridiculous danger zones with some nice safe squishy sponge at the end welcome to bit Haku so for those you that I've been watching drifting for a while you've been on YouTube we just saw would show you actually where the track is relative to where Komatsu ended up so if you see the video of the car coming up for Haku hits the bank once goes to the top of the bank he got that hi-fi everybody was so shocked so yeah that used to be the danger zone but now it's well it's kind of worse to be honest so yeah well van Komatsu you got really hard there's there seems to be a big difference between the driving style of the guys in Japan and what we do generally in competition in Europe in the competition in Europe and the states as well I guess and seems to revolve around having very powerful cars with loads of grip big tires big sticky tires and it's about accelerating into the drift and accelerating through the corners really reliant on power big smoking pay lights and a huge food powerslides was the stuff in Japan seemed to predominantly fear by going in absolutely as fast as you can and I'm slowing down through the through the drift they seem to push the boundaries quite following quite hard and for instance the pit wall at the end of the hockey range Strait is used as a clipping point it's actually a transition point if you like you aim for it with the front of the car and literally split split millisecond after you've gotten past with the front you in transition to go hard up against a really dangerous tyre wall on the left-hand side and I think with tracks like that it's just all about using everything that you can and pushing it too the extreme [ __ ] Aussie bastard decided you can point out them easy now Phil Morrison was smashed last night he's going to struggle so the day before yesterday we were at Shane's workshop in Osaka before he made us I was deaf in the stupid truck and we would discuss him with them chunky by Bice and one of the old school Drift guys one of the real one of the first guys running the wall at my hair and that type of stuff and we were discussing the course with him and he basically says no a low power car here is bad and that is because the course is kind of low grip so when you come bailing out of there the first corner you run the wall you try to miss the tires and you flick in as you flick in and come along sort of this section from the the clipping points of the tires it's actually all off camber so it's all falling away so what happens is we've used myself as a demonstration you come into the corner throw it out there and then the butt of the car sits down so the cars like this so what happens when it's off camber is the rear wheels are spinning and spinning and spinning and doing nothing so the trick to this course is is to be able to get get the car to grip again get traction and get yourself out off that off camber piece if you make it out of that then you make it round the corner but no looks like nothing I can rock it all day or not [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] where are we felt we hope it will hide I like sick [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] amazing once more on the videos we rarely carry some Spade into the first corner [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] the line up against the pit wall with the nose of the car in transitioning against the tire wall is quite dangerous if you get it wrong so I've built my confidence up had it dialed two or three times was pushing faster and faster then and yeah had had one rather big moment that reminded me that this is a borrowed car and if you bend it you have to buy it and with the exchange rate at the moment so that wasn't a particularly desirable things [Applause] [Music] [Music] so we've spent the day at the aku circuit drifting's will open practice day anyone who wants to even come along and drift off it's really cheap really chill dough is not like not even Marshall here the circuit owner city's entry cuff over their minds it's a business if it was a problem sure he'd come running but basically it seems like the guys here just marshal themselves the body's respectful if there's a problem they drop some piece of error or something like that background and pick it up if people go off track they don't bring dirt back on the track they're trying or try and stick to these off lines and yet people have been busting out as well as the mentor so that get really dangerous and we've just had some some random friends turn up but su mean the s15d one driver me many many years total badass and a really nice guy and we also had in there the silver s that it's 15 as well he's actually the driver of the Cal Sonic GTR which is not citizens front this is what it does it's a weak base just to come and have a laugh and a badass s15 kicking it out up against the tires up there [Music] [Music] welcome to the factory so there and these are the guys are currently leading demon street-legal muskrats isn't it as Japanese standards go it's massive that's the other end way way way down there whether we run the other thing is and that's like a big office down there literally it's all this and I love a lot of c35 parts Laurel the the boss it loves Laurel Toyota's too expensive it's just literally got everything every mountain for innocent [Music] [Music] [Music] it's [Music] Oh [Music] in Japan can I start with anything but in Japan in Japan pretty easy to get into drifting there as long as you've got some kind of link to it you can make it a hell of a lot of it like most people in England now at least and you know most people I mean I lived in Holland a while so I know most people in Holland have a rough idea what drifting is when you say drifting they don't think you mean it's wandering from town to town you know they understand it's something to do with being stupid in cars you know in Japan if you're not linked to it somehow you can live your whole life without knowing anything about drifting without doing anything about cars like I mean I could actually believe that you could have a person in Japan that because I'd never seen golf they just wouldn't wouldn't think it ever existed that someone would hit a ball with a stick [Music] [Music] we're randomly on our way from where we've been we've been Sushma and we've been to be Factory which is local to Osaka and Courbet which is very close we stopped in the services it's got a bit of a Starbucks and a muffin or whatever and randomly there's a bunch of cake ours turned up and all tuned out to the max they've been having a big meeting up the street and a couple of the guys drift and these are like the second cars that they like to mess around with so this is really popular in Japan because these cars are so cheap the run for all six hundred and sixty sixty six sixty 660 CC it's a really tiny little three-cylinder engines so they're really cheap to run the really cheap to insure the really cheap to get will they call it shacking we call it mo T's or whatever you call it to make it rolled legal yeah this is the in thing right now okay okay hey style car [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] the trouble with nothing complete is looking for the final piece I thought I had it in the glass but things change and you can look on so easily [Music] me [Music] [Music] [Music] I know myself but situation 7 has what did always have to be [Music] you accidentally buzz you know it's [Music] Oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] my boy dream just came true they only let me sit in a skylight and now I can read it [Music] [Music] [Applause] we're rolling okay um basically you've just walked up to Suzuka twin after two our journeys two or three hours today and basically one hour left applause style in the practice on the cars and we're gonna see if it's been a waste of time or not as their guide from kids heart we saw earlier in the week was one more semester Steen he's on his last set of tires already so he's gonna go up and second we're gonna hopefully film it [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] while about sporting with down the bridle to poke the crap that big boy at the moon no gets dead I don't know have you considered this no that's far wrong I'm scared though because if it is Japan and it's got those are spikes and it's yellow [Music] [Music] [Music] I don't think drifting can outgrow even the smallest circus and there is the greatest thing about drifting you don't have to be in sick gear doing 180 miles an hour on some suicide d1 run you know you don't have to have a 900 horsepower ls1 v8 bloody Formula D car all you need is a car with you know it's got to be rear-wheel drive and you need the corner you don't even need a corner you need like a place where you can do a u-turn and you can you can make that building [Music] okay so it's a last day in Japan and we've landed at the mother of all trash [Music] [Music] we're gonna do the danger points just like we did it bit off it pretty much the same deal the guys say this he actually likes to see people break their cars yeah you can see behind me close access the next of the live racetrack protected by two tires great how'd you come to happen over there trying grip you pull third gear all the guys ever and really three ratios so like you know for three short sections they produced back up through the game you know ideas you can jump the the nose of the car over the corner and get the most feet onto the straight we call this date 2.2 exactly very thick this slides all grainy this side smooth that's from cars my favorite part of the pool it looks like it's made of mud but that's all actually rubber does its concrete under there and then you've got these tires protection consideration [Music] Oh [Music] Tyrel universe [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] in saying you know time at the time for tink the perfect line up against the wall sort of sparks coming to the back of the car they're not against what was the tyre wall which is the dangerous bit pushing as wide as possible back on the power and exiting perfectly and really close to each other as well at times we had seen Nakamura turn up you know rather battered Joe's x100 chaser every panel gone every headlights blast no their lights turned up with his kids in the car and then and yeah just went out and sounded like there's something wrong with the car you know how God is Houston is it broken already no just didn't have any fuel input what Nick just carried on doing lap after lap after lap so we don't add some fuel so much Li and then the managed to get back out there and we managed to actually do some some drifting with Macklemore actually managed to follow him in a few times and he followed me followed me as well that's probably one of the more scary things but it's in give the guys a few bumps and [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] how is your Nakamura experience I don't really have the words to cover amazing mind blowing life-changing maybe she's nuts what I'd like people to take from the outsiders DVD is that when people are out there having fun - having fun that it's just there's nothing more to it they're just having a laugh the mentality of how drifting over there is different in a way we're not different it's you know everybody still has the same core ideas when you do drifting get into the thing because it's fun and maybe some competitions along the way and you know you may be a competitive person and really want to win competitions but you always come back to the reason wave stay in a sport is because it's fun because you enjoy doing it drifting is always about having fun and the absolute pinnacle of drifting is to enjoy yourself and have fun with friends that's something that's too easily forgotten as things get more commercialized as things get more professional and I think is really important that that that remains you know that you know that is the objective if you're not having fun knows no point in being involved when you see people drifting like they're having fun but they're pushing themselves to the to the limits and if you watch the DVD and think I can do that or such and such uh you know I've worn MacNamara this like they're as good as that they're really not like those guys are great they're really good drivers but they are not at that level you need to go there and stand on the mayhem wall stand on the hill at the top you you know stand behind the wall it was out wherever it is and witness it for yourself to realize how far ahead the level is so use the DVDs and inspiration use the DVD as a factual document of of what guys out they were doing if it's just about competition you know you start to lose the love for it so take a step back for a bit make sure that you're doing stuff that you find and it really works for you again and I think Japan really gets that as well not everything is about win-win-win it's about you know winning with yourself if you want it's about it's about achieving goals that you want to achieve and they do push really hard and that's why I think we do see some of the best drifty lifters in the world still coming out of Japan [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

It's true there isn't all that much drifting in this documentary, but it's fascinating nonetheless

Everyone is saying it's a waste of time but I think it's great. I'm interested in both the culture and the drift videos themselves. I've watched hours of just drifting; it's nice to see there's a true lifestyle behind the "hobby" in some parts of the world.

an hour and a half and only like 2 scenes with actual drifting in them.

this is about the drift "CULTURE", its actually filled with interesting information and it was done really well.

Ballet on rubber.

I've never wanted to drift nor do I plan to, but this video was really interesting to see the culture and what there is to drifting.

The audio in this video goes from a quiet interview with a mumbly english guy to music blaring full blast every other scene. Just terrible

[u/Soul_Rage]

Maybe you should repost this to /r/documentaries.
