Saw Aaron (Dousan) in Option vol. 113

[Stee Flo]

I just watched the new video option vol.113 and it had coverage on the D1GP driver search! I was watching the various contenders doing their drift thing knowing that Dousan was coming up somewhere. One of the last ones they showed was sure enough a burgandy s13 slamming into some barriers crushing it all up! It was a pretty nice crash!:cool:

[Dousan_PG]

haha
thanks
i just watched it lst night too
mm kinda boring
they didnt show anyoones really good runs
i KNOW taka and benson and Hiroo had great runs but they showedthe crappy ones, which i found pretty disappointing. :( i had quite a few good runs (crash was last round) but they just showed that. meh..whatever. the video wasnt that great. the FUJI d1 event wasnt all that exciting too. i found #112 much more entertaining.

[Stee Flo]

Yeah i heard that they had some good runs, but for some reason they only posted one run for each contestant. The only one they had of you was the crash, oh well. From the looks of things you werent the only one to crash; that one ae86's rear end slammed smack dab into the concrete wall:bash: I dont have vol. 112 but i will check it out.

SOMEbody's LIVING for it...

[Heartwork]

i saw that video a month ago and already said it was boring....looks like they had footage of everyone except for Benson, or maybe i missed it.....i wasnt at the event, so i dunno if Benson even ran...

The japanese are a funny people. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't show the good runs on purpose. Maybe they're trying to make the US drivers look bad because it doesn't make sense why they wouldn't show the good stuff, except maybe for the accident because that's exciting.

.mm kinda boring
Are you kidding me. I just ordered it the other day. Damn, I guess i'll find out what you mean when it gets here. :cry:

i watch a lot of drifting/option vids. so my opinion is based on like a lot of different videos ive seen..

yep that coverage suck. the only reason i bought the original tape instead of my usual copy me aaron because my car was in the back cover of the box. they showed everyone's bad runs i think... i was like wtf? oh well...... they didn't show my other 2 runs. but because they didn't show my other 2 runs.. i'll show it here!

also from what i heard, D1 coverage and attendance in japan is going down. the people are tired of too many politics going on inside the D1. but i dunno if that's true... i'd rather watch like dori-ten or some kinda amateur drifting competition.

some of the D1 competitors don't win in the battle magazine events hahaahah i dunno why? maybe because they're option guys?

Please tell me you guys don't pay the $30 for these videos?

check out GRIP VIDEO for more from Benson and also Ernie (who made d1 cut) :)


the amateur drifting is far moer entertaining. d1 is for non-drifters it seemsfor the most part. flash and magic. the amatuer stuff is far more entertaining and the guys are crazy. real balls out stuff most of the time. more willing to take a risk it seems. and the cars arent bling. they are like yours and mine. so easier to 'relate' with. lots of top amatuer driftesr too. some better then the d1 guys.......

[DoriftoSlut]

Yep, just ask Society Mike. he always going on about how weaksauce D1 is, and that all the real drifters that watch events (or enter for that matter) like BM Hai, and the other amatuer events that I can't spell or pronounce MUCH better than D1. D1 has too many politics involved, and its more of a show (although no one denies the abilities of the pros). But I guess the Am events are run differently, its more fair (even for gaijin like Mike), the courses are longer and more interesting many times, and it is more often than just 7 times a year. (usually at least once a month iirc).

awesome vids!!..:)..

and i agree that amatuer drifting is much more exciting to watch...the D1 guys are awesome..no question..and for purely show they are who you want to see..but for more genuine, put your ass on the line, competition i agree that grassroots, amatuer, competitions are where it's at...it seems to me to be more pure..less tainted with money and sponsorship...

who knows...i'm just blabbing..

hey D...you comin to the event at Buttonwillow on the 19th?...or is your car still undergoing it's transformation?..:D

[Dousan_PG]

nah car still in the works. 3 BIG buys going in this month and next adn then...body work done (parts wise-not paitn) then...engine time! whew...almost done..looks like late 2003

doing some events in NOV it seems..

no, i paid $16 at video eye. i think they gave me a price break because the boyfriend of the girl that works there is into dorifto.


thanks aaron... you know me, if it's a spectator event... i try to make it exciting for the people watching. i guess even if it means crashing into the wall. because my 3rd run, i already knew i was in.. so i said lemme get close to the wall. hehehehe.... too close too late. but it's still fun, never the less. but if it's a practice event... i'm hard on practice too. just keeping up with the jones.

[Dousan_PG]

30 bucks/ HAHAHAHAHAH
hell no
much less then that
and if i rent it instead..$2.50 for 3 days
blank tape is cheap too. ;)

[f2a4s0t]

Dousan Where do you rent option videos? I am thinking about renting out all my option and drift tengoku videos to people that always ask to borrow them but I would be to ****ed if they didn't come back.

[Fastback180]

Yeah, see I always see the V-Opts goin for $30. Never got one. I got a DVD for free once, that's all I have. But there are no big japanese communities around here that would have markets that rent videos. Only vietnamese and korean big time! And that one kid who bootlegged the videos, I don't think he does them anymore. Cause I can't find the site. If anyone wants to make some $$$. I'll send you $10 for any V-Opts or Tengokus shipped. Just here and there! That would be appreciated!
