no problem at all man..... they did a excellent job on showing each level.

the part that stood out to me was the street knowledge gained vs organized event. At my first event, i felt like i had applied everything i was trying on the streets and more. I have crashed a few times on the streets lol...its very funny when your buddies are around, however later that night when you are alone, you almost wanna cry lol.

lol at the guys on various forums who think this is a fad.

coolest part is when in NJ, it looked like most of Lookout was present... i never got a chance to hit up Englishtown for various reasons... sigh... looked like fun times for sure.

A freaking +

ps

hows your health???

I posted these links on my site , and this is my review.....
Slappy wrote:I just watched the entire DVD. I guess i would rate it a 9 out of 10 because it really relates to how all of us on this forum started out and we still continue to be , wich is grass roots and we bust our *** on ours cars just to slide wich each other. Hell when the guy said he sold everything to buy parts for his car , i was like damn thats me. I sold all my belongings , even my bed for car parts. Only reason i didnt score it a perfect 10 out of 10 was because there were a few douchebags that had some really off the wall comments.
And about my health , it sucks and it always will suck. I will know if i need another sugery or not in a few weeks. Now im seeing darkspots. Eye doc said the fluid that surrounds my right eye has detached itself from behind my eye..lol.

after talking to Alex and a few of the other guys at Wall some years back, its not what a lot of people think ( Free Ride )

as with anything its a " what have you done for me lately" kinda deal.

Yea , Alex is a cool cat. A few years back i had a little fued with Mike from U.S. Drift that he caught wind of and emailed me his cell and home #. He was like "call me asap before this gets out of hand". We talked for atleast 2.5hrs about what it takes to get organized drift events together ect.

This is an awesome video to show to people who are new to drifting and need a dose of reality. It shows the bald tires, the accidents, the months of eating ramen just to buy a new part, it shows the stuff that most drifters go through. Even when I watched it I was amazed by how thorough they were in showing almost every thing there is to show about grassroots drifting.

Hey I just watched up to part six due to having to go to texas dmv to register my hb, but I noticed something. The black guy from mephis, and the white dude(the guy who was a marine) were in grip video. White dude was in one of the volumes where they showed touge drifting. The black dude was in vol 2 where they had the d1 driver for signal auto come out to hawaii. They interviewed the black dude asking if he was going to try drifting, and there he is "head of drifting" in tn. I just found that kinda funny! Can't wait to get back to see the rest!

Welp i came back and watched it. Very pleased with the documentry. And id have to agree, there are some characters in there that upset me just with there attitude. But to each is own right? Whats up with the attitudes of im better than you just cuz i have a sponored car that partric morduant and d'angelo are giving off??? Ugh i hate that.

All in all, it was great. And i do suggest Chasing The Togue docu. I have it on DVD and it will not dissapoint!

Thanx biggame for posting this!

the movie is $9.99 at our website currently. http://www.slideamerica.com/st...id=34

For those of you complaining about youtube quality, Wrecked Magazine has quite a few chapters featured in a much better quality.

Hey man sweet. Thanx. Id also rather listen to it on surround sound and a hd tv...waaay better quality than my computer screen. It was a well put together docu.

I also thought it was funny that two of the people from GRIP video are the head of drifting in memphis. yeah ....
