Oh God.  I hate the whole "law breaker-Zen-Point Break" themes that these types of videos and shows try to emulate.  There's a motorcycle stunt show on Speed Channel that's in the same vein, as if the entire episode is "teh illegalz" and they could get in trouble for what they're doing.  Yeah right.  And then most of these shows try to portray the performers like they're these deep, intellectual types that just happen to do their philosophizing on wheels and that every episode is some spiritual journey.  Gimme a break.

Anyway, it's nothing short of impressive that people can drift things like bikes; didn't even know you could do that until recently, and that level of technical skill is respectable even if you don't like the drifting thing...

I assure you, there is no faster way around.. I drive for miles. Ride for hours for that feeling of sliding tires across the ground.  :mcride:

I don't mind the cheesiness, it's just a little DOH-style entertainment mixed in with some good driving.

Never even heard of Oregon Raceway Park but it looks like an awesome track. And it's in Oregon. :2thumbs:

I laughed at this post. Great one, Myk! Friggen GREAT! I have thought the same way......"Whoa, dude....It was, like, I wasn't even ON the board, dude! It was, like, I WAS the board and the waves were taking me home, dude! Thats what its all about, bro!"

That must have been the driver (or owner of the car) whining then....  ;)
