I just made a little practice video of my Z sliding, NOT ON PUBLIC STREETS, so I thought I'd share it with you guys. Enjoy.

sweet looks fun - but those roads look ruff..

I noticed you have a trailer hitch in the back? I take it thats for when you go to events, you will haul all your spare rims and tires out there? in the Z?

I do the same.. sux not having a truck but this certainly is the next best thing..


NICE VID..

there are pics and a story of how he towed his 240sx home. He managed to rip the rear bumper off the 240. the wheels on the 350 for drifting are off the 240.

Couldn't have said it better myself..... i-think-i-love-my-240sx-too-much-t494268.html

I'm thinking i will use the trailer hitch to maybe either trailer my track car to events, or just tires. But thats not for a little while becuase my 350z is the only one I have with me in florida that runs.

The roads to have some rough spots, but the external view always makes stuff look alot worse then it really is.

Looks like you had fun making that video :D

Feedback:
I really like the look of a touched up video when you are going for a certain style, but I think the slow motion stuff was a little much for me in the beginning, maybe try less slo of a 'mo'. Another suggestion would be to get some in-car shots with a camera mount. Those always break up the video nicely. Maybe a particularly gangster entrance into a corner you could cut out the music and have just that shot and the sound of the tires/engine then break back into the song. You are a pretty good driver, I really liked the use of the cement slab to make the corner in some of the later shots.

Anyhow, great vid, enjoyed it! Also I've owned 12 skylines and you are the worst drifter.
