So, this is the DVD that I have been working on for a good minute now, showcasing drifting in the Pacific Northwest. This is the product of over 2 months of solo-production work (with some much appreciated help from Trent Stromkins/bmx269, on the website) , and I'm thrilled to have finally made "...the video I wanted to make." The DVD is a depart from the documentary-structure that I went with in "Brothers in Arms"(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHFxz5BJrb8), and instead follows a more traditional skate-videoesque vibe.
I really wanted to get away from the whole "Drifting is ________...originating from Japan...blah blah blah" sales pitch, since this just seems so repetitive with any and all media pertaining to the motorsport. To me, the current media is so caught up with appealing drifting to the masses, that this same line is getting redundant and stagnant. I wanted to make something that peeps who are into-this-shit-as-much-as-we-are, can really feel and appreciate. Don't get it twisted - this is an amateur video; amateur drivers, with an amateur production, made for fellow amateurs.
So, this is a video about a group of kids in the Pacific Northwest, sliding their cars around corners for the sheer fun of it.
I hope you guys enjoy.
