DWYB 2nd Dec 2009 - Videos

[LuPix_S15]

Hola,

Here's the first vid from DWYB yesterday - had a blast!!!

The double-kidney was covered in oil and mixed with the general wetness from the rain it was crap for drifting (understeer = bad times). Was gonna use this track as the main one for the day but when Richy went past and was shouting at me to get my ass onto the EDC big boys track I though feck it 'might as well'... never looked back hehe

Footage taken on my iPhone which is why it looks tall and narrow?! Used the mobile phone suction mount holder thing which works a treat!! :thumbs:

Enjoy

Edit: here's the second vid (more action and lots of Richy 200 lol) >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9_0DvvuWjs


Cheers,

James

Looks like great fun! wishing I'd had a go now

 

[LuPix_S15]

You gotta come along next time dude!!!

 

[S15AK]

I was there, just never drifted. I was the guy in the Pewter S15 with the white grid drifts. You flashed me (your lights ) when I was on my way out

Looks good, did you manage any more by the end of the day?

The EDC track is where its at, soooo much fun in the dry!

I should be at a few dwybs later this year, dependin on when I can get my 15 registered.

S15AK - ah yes dude... soz about that confusion!! :wack:

Ryan - the vid was just about my last outing... was getting the hang of linking the turns but it was my very first time on the EDC track. I've been chatting to Dan Chapman on Facebook who's given me some sound advice after seeing the same vid... reckons I'll need higher entry speeds and keep the angles straighter, less throttle which prevents backend coming round too early. Also more speed, less wheel spin means I can move forwards quicker and link up the turns much better!!


Can't wait for the next one - got so much to practice on :thumbs:


BTW - here's the second vid which shows more of the day and some other rides (like Belinda's Liner and Richy's two tone beast haha)
