Keywords

💡Drifting

Drifting refers to intentionally oversteering the car to slide sideways around corners or do continuous donuts. Matt learns how to drift in the video, going from beginner attempts to sustaining a smooth drift circle. Drifting demonstrates car control skills.

💡Donut

A donut refers to spinning the car continuously in a circle while drifting. Matt practices doing donuts as his first drifting exercise before moving on to figure 8s.

💡Figure 8

A figure 8 is a drifting maneuver where the driver slides the car in the continuous shape of a figure 8. This is considered more advanced than doing donuts. Adam shows Matt how to transition back and forth to complete the figure 8.

💡Trail

Adam goes searching for trails, which are unpaved roads, dirt paths, or off-road courses where he can drive and drift the car. He wants to find trails to practice and make rally driving videos.

💡Grip

Grip refers to the traction and control of the tires on different surfaces. Drifting relies on carefully balancing the grip, throttle input and steering to break traction while retaining control.

💡Correction

Correction refers to adjusting the steering wheel rapidly to counteract oversteer or understeer. Adam tells Matt to make smaller, smoother corrections when drifting rather than sharp jerky motions.

💡Oversteer

Oversteer makes the car slide sideways uncontrollably with the rear tires losing grip. Corrections and throttle adjustments are needed to control oversteer when drifting.

💡Decks

Adam promotes his new branded skateboard decks for sale, using the drifting content to draw attention to the product launch.

💡Skid steer

A skid steer is a machine that Adam considers buying to construct better dirt trails for rallycross practice at the shop property. It can shape dirt quickly.

💡Engine swap

Adam asks viewers if he should start an engine swap on his Porsche, replacing the existing engine for a different one. This complex mechanic work could be featured in future videos.

B time for K is going to get back into

this F she goes do we have a decision

look at the hug there we

go what is up guys and welcome to

today's video I hope you enjoyed that

little Montage of some of our favorite

moments with the cream s13 I've got big

news for you and that's that the long

awaited and highly requested s13 decks

are going to be dropping today at 5:00

p.m. Eastern Standard Time this car is

long overdue for a deck I predict this

one do sell out very quickly and if that

is an incentive enough we're also going

to give out a free sticker pack with any

deck order placed today but wait there's

a little bit more if you want me to sign

the deck absolutely for free just leave

it in the order comments I'll be more

than happy to sign it just be patient I

might take an extra day or two cuz you

know I'm busy building trails to go race

my rally car in but you'll see that in

this video thank you what is up guys

happy weekend welcome to the video

Matt's hanging out with us today going

to go get this car dirty yeah so I think

you secretly just want to get it dirty

so I'll wash it for you tomorrow I mean

it does need a wash we're going to be

teaching Matt how to drift today so

expect that later on the video but

before that I've been making these

secret missions to roads that people

have sent me in the area to try to find

a cool Trail SL dirt road that I can

take this thing most of them have been

busts that's why I haven't shown

anything in the content but I've got a

good feeling about this one so I'm

having Matt come along with me we got

the brand new new ricaro so you should

be nice and comfy just went to the wrong

side of the car yep yeah you'll get that

yep so uh yeah hopefully hopefully for

your sake we have some fun but and for

my sake hopefully it's nice tame fun

yeah you know I'm a a tame kind of guy

worst case scenario we'll go to tractor

fly and get the screws you need so this

is how I roped them in to come with me I

like oh you know it's right by Tractor

Supply so these are nice usually you put

like bucket seats in the car and then

it's like less comfy backwards now

hopefully this is uh

so what uh what suspension is on this uh

essentially like custom BC coilovers

that are just like a hodgepodge of

different shocks and springs and other

things that I you just put a taller

spring on a regular shock right uh

they're long shocks okay they're not

normal shocks by any means for the most

part the ride's amazing there's a few

little weird noises but and then you

just get up kind of a Floy four-wheeler

yeah what's the update we got a little

rubbing going on but uh I don't want to

space the wheels out cuz then we run

into more clearance issues so we're just

we're going to let it rub away it might

get a little smoky might smell a little

bit in here in the beginning but we're

going to be walking home nah hopefully

not well we got trailers close by okay

the rubbing the rubbing thing like it

won't break us down it's just

inconvenient and sucks but I'm also

really excited and too lazy to properly

fix it right

now more Road Adam found dirt in the

dirt it's a good time yeah I know

right the idea is just finding roads

that are like not my def hous yeah

that's ain't it least not yet got some

water I don't know if I'm trying to

cross that M

shoot that minivan went across you're

not

wrong it's probably not that high but

what's this oh private property man this

is what keeps happening yeah I get so

excited and then well that's private

property thinking yeah that might be a

little deeper yeah big old Lumber all

right to the hardware store all right it

was a bus mat sad I wanted you to get

this thing dirty I mean we'll do a

little all whee Drive launch on the road

but uh yeah that's about it should all

wheel drive feels

yeah pretty cool right

yeah it's got a little

uh little more than I expected it to

have

got to fun on one

corner a stop successful uh we're going

to check out another road that I've been

wanting to check out but this one I

think there's going to be bird people

there as my dad would call them so you

don't want to mess with the bird people

oh they're not really bird people what

do you mean you just making up the bird

no I I looked up YouTube videos in this

place like people go bird watching there

was like we're on a Saturday you know

I'm going on a nice leisurely drive with

my dad oh I took you at your word I

thought it was like real bird people not

like made up bird people no I'm talking

real bird watchers yeah they don't like

Safari cars I'll just wave they'll be

fine don't worry about it just nice

leisurely stroll with my Dad yep you

know it looks like give your Co Uncle

act like you're driving cool Uncle yeah

there you go all right so this road is

amazing except for I guess instead of

trees we got water on both sides there's

lots of fishermen and people here so I

don't think this is uh this is the road

but imagine if they closed this down and

made it into a rally stage this is

Florida this is Florida's againsts yeah

it is look you can see the uh shuttle

launch from right there that's pretty

crazy this probably fills up with people

when they they launch yeah we're out

there man mangroves on the right inter

Coastal on the left lots of people

fishing yeah I can see you sliding this

corner here no it's flat out what I like

about it is it's really wide open so you

can see everything yeah but uh yeah know

that ain't happening today unfortunately

no if you know some roads around me let

me know all right I want to get out to

the firm I want to go to some proper

rally tracks but during the work week

it's difficult to make a drive that far

oh yeah look at

that it's pretty good you got to find

something like this it's remote where

nobody's at no houses no National Park

really remote it's the park problem yeah

there's a lot of people

around look at that dude that's sweet

and here's the thing you don't even look

like a dork when you're videoing cuz

everybody else is taking pictures look

at this part

after driving all day and not being able

to find any trails to drive I had an

itch that I had to fill so I went on our

former suron Trails which I should have

showed you guys first cuz they're super

overgrown and lots of new dirt and rocks

and cement dumped after all the concrete

repairs worked on it for about an hour

and a half 2 hours to try to make our

track here better now it's small but

it's not all about size it's about how

you use it and I think I'll be able to

turn this into a pretty cool layout

probably going to be like first gear but

I still think it'll be fun and it'll

help me brush up on some of my all-wheel

drive slidy

skills all right first take rear wheel

drive time to send

it oh tree tree

treat you

box I got to do something with those

rocks ditch I got to be careful of

there

that's pretty

[Music]

[Music]

fun

[Music]

[Music]

try auto all whe drive and see how what

handles be a lot faster

now

oh so it doesn't even lock you know we

drive I think cuz it Doesn't decouple

the front true pulling oh I almost hit

that my

god

oh how did I not see

that go like this back this I literally

was about to look I literally looked in

the mirror I didn't even see it dude

stupid mirrors how bad is

it a wheel that' be

nice we all

right yeah dude it sounded like we hit

my quarter yeah but the quarter is good

is just the wheel yeah thank God all

right get in we're doing it again what

the did you just get that lucky I don't

know are you ready

[Music]

yeah

good

[Music]

[Music]

oh my God

oh she's breaking

up it's getting too

hot it'ss really rich when it gets hot o

they go yellow that's pretty cool that

was fun all right today's the day Matt

what are we about to do you're going to

teach me how to drift officially so if

you didn't see I was pretending to be me

one day while I was gone took out the

E36 I'm not going to lie me and Colette

like we were very very impressed it

looks like you've done this before so I

swear to you that's probably the third

dut I've ever done in my entire life I'm

I'm a straight and narrow kind of guy so

doing putting it making a car go

sideways is not my thing what I'm

interested to see is like it's funny

like usually when I teach a guy how to

drift they're like foot to the floor

they don't know how to like really dial

themselves back and it's very hard for

them to control and it seems you had a

really good balance of throttle and

steering input well I I think I'm afraid

you know I'm very reserved you know the

obsession is real uh and so I'm thinking

about it a lot probably more than what

you're used to where people just send it

the the feeling the grip is like

everything once you feel that and you

find the limit both on the steering and

the gas like that's when you when it

clicks but it's hard if your foot to the

floor to be able to find that you know

yeah yeah I'm interested to see can I

even do this is this something I can

figure out well I'm also interested to

see you drove the E36 which is arguably

one of the easiest cars to the drive the

Z is a very easy car to drive too but

this one's got a little bit more going

on with it the rear is really soft the

front's a little loose cuz it's set up

for LZ grip driving and uh it uh I don't

know it's different you're going to hate

how it sounds but I'm curious to see how

you like how it drives I'm just going to

throw you in first and we're going to

see what you can do and then we'll we'll

figure out where to go from

there hey Matt if you hear any weird

noises it's normal this thing's been

through uh it's been through some

right yeah I could see that I didn't

stall it back and out so we're we're off

to a good start you look good at

it it's been a while since I've been in

this thing yeah she's got some history

man so so I need I need lots of room I'm

going to go do a donut up there right

sure yeah wherever you

want to be fair most people wouldn't

learn at the compound either but I'm

just really trusting of you oh oh

one big thing one big thing stop the car

okay this car I'm guessing I haven't

checked tire pressure it probably has

very little front grip okay most people

will Panic break and steer if they're

trying to get away from something okay

obviously don't slam on the brakes and

turn to lock if you feel like you're

going to plow into something smaller

inputs and like light on the brake

you'll feel it let's do a donut and then

I'd like to teach me how to do a figure

eight I can I can never make that link

sure and one thing to focus on while

you're doing the donut is try to

maintain like a equal Circle so try to I

can get you a cone if you need to have

like a A Center Point okay but instead

of just doing a donut try to focus on

just maintaining a smooth Circle I think

yeah the easiest way is just to dump the

clock see I always uh I have a tendency

to bail out yeah this one you're going

to need to be kind of committed to the

throttle quite a bit so are you

Feathering you kind of off and on I mean

you want to break traction and then once

you're in the slide and comfortable

you're just don't a lot of people do

this yeah try to be smooth okay when you

do this the car is going to do that and

the car you're going to have to make big

steering Corrections when you're smooth

with your inputs yeah you're just kind

of like

[Music]

balancing can't all right so have you

ever done like a trick on a bike where

you go where you look yeah yeah yeah

okay you got to keep looking around the

circle and stay committed on the

throttle okay a little bit

tighter

start to floor it a little

more so that was perfect I just need you

to start releasing the wheel soon yep

yep y that's it oh I see it it doesn't

it feels so unnatural that was it and

then basically then your wheels are set

and you just maintain throttle and

you're

good

that was it got it let's see if I can do

it again the biggest critique on that

you were making a big adjustment on the

steering wheel and that's why you

weren't holding a steady Circle it was

kind of going and then big correction so

Mak smaller micro adjustments and it'll

it'll be

perfect

I could have almost figure it there when

when you're steering in what's happening

is you're steering in and you're holding

it there okay when you're doing the

donut and you're using that correction

tool you're you're going to like steer

in but then you're almost going to

immediately bring the wheel back to like

let's say your donut position is like

heish you're going to steer in but then

you're almost going to bring the wheel

right back if you steer in and lock and

hold it it's just going to going to spin

you out I feel like I'm doing I'm I'm

either out here or I'm back here and so

I'm doing too much input I think yep I

need to stay in this yep position

exactly

okay

that was really good I just can't

maintain a even circle now I think what

was helping you there is you were being

nice and easy on the gas and you're

really feeling the grip yeah you're kind

of feeling where the car is at and like

that helped a lot would it help if I

kind of show you how I'd approach it in

this

yep got letting

go

that little sawing kind of keeps it in

drift for the second you go hand over

hand or you crank it you're going to

spin out starting with it turn a little

biger so once you get set if you keep

your hands locked on the wheel and just

make those little micro adjustments you

should be able to do everything else

with the throttle that'll prevent you

from going Overkill yeah I'm like on off

all over the

place so close that one hand overand the

second you do that you spin

out

yep so right there you starting to lift

you floor it and it stayed in drift

then after you Flor it you needed to

breathe off a little bit but did you

feel what that did for the car yeah

yep right come on Madd you can do

[Music]

this

it it dang it we getting it

[Music]

now

let's

go I got it I got

it

[Music]

woo that was

it our temp oh shoot is it Peg yeah ah

you're good just drive in circles it'll

cool down

you got the feel and you were learning

what to do when it was starting to over

rrow like your your throttle movements

were really good yeah hey there I forgot

to film an outro I had a really good

time making this video I hope you had a

good time watching it reminder to go

check out our decks we just launched our

decks the're really nice decks they

might be sold out we might be sold out

of decks by now hey thanks for watching

the video should I get a skid steer and

make more Trails or should I start

pulling the engine of my porch or should

I get more

decks okay bye when

when

you when

[Music]

youing

[Music]

up
