Last Sunday marked the opening day for 2012 drift season at Pat's Acres Racing Complex, commonly known as PARC, hosted by Loki Motorsports. In addition to this, it would also be the first time that the track's new extensions would be driven on. Having these new extensions would help the track have a better flow for the avid drift enthusiasts that regularly attend. … Read More
A couple of nights ago, I went down to my old high school, Cascade Christian, to watch the Challengers play the Lakeview Honkers. To clear any confusion, the Challengers are Cascade's mascot. It's hard to believe that six years have already gone by since I played ball here. Time has certainly flown by. Lots of the players on the team are the younger brothers of my old teammates, and some of my teammates are even coaches!… Read More
Last Saturday was ThunderDrift's Full-Track February event. Upon arrived to the track, I found our favorite red dreaded Formula D dude, Luke Crowell, out rippin' in his Cressida. Read More
I don't know what we'd do without Facebook. On Friday our friend (who just happens to be an officer on the Oakland Police Department) posted a flyer about this protest event called "March Against Repression: Fuck OPD" and said "Here we go again." Read More
As we begin our 2012 adventures, I thought it would be worth looking over our first year, seeing how we've progressed and if anything needs to be reevaluated. We learned a lot for sure, and for sure there's a lot more to learn. As many of you already know, Geoff and I came up with the concept while driving through Yosemite on the way to Las Vegas last year. He was shooting for Works Magazine… Read More
While digging through thousands (okay, hundreds maybe) of my photos from this year, I came upon this conclusion: I need to either take way more photos or stop altogether. That being said, here is a compilation of not the greatest photos, but rather the greatest moments of 2011 that I happened to capture with my picture taking device. Shown above is an upset Chinese toddler whose stupid mother purchased the wrong flavor instant soup.… Read More
Most of you remember Justin Shreeve's canine companion from our interview a few months back. Well I got a chance to follow him around during his Christmas vacation. In this, I hope to give you a deeper look into the life of this curious soul, this stoic creature, this living question mark we know as Fuzz. Read More
What I'll miss about metal quarter panels is rubbing off the excess sidewall when running fresh tires and seeing the looks on the faces of concerned pedestrians and drivers alike. I'll also miss occasionally being pushed down the highway by the likes of Joe Ayala or Geoff Pitts BECAUSE MISSILE CAR. The thing is, I'm starting to grow up (kinda) and my car is following suit and that's okay. Life sucks without change. Here's to a new generation of mine and Joe's cars. One filled with big lips, stretched… Read More
I was hanging out at my house late last night, when I saw some Facebook posts from MotorMavens, Sam Attal, about the Occupy Oakland riots that were happening. I was really bummed I had missed the one a few weeks, since the LB crew was up at Thunderhill for the Kris Hackenson Scary Halloween Drift. I was pissed I had missed this one too. We got to talking and he kept me updated on the situation for a while. It seemed… Read More
A week ago Friday I was greeted by the young, rich, and tasteless Joe Ayala. The plan was to drink until the pain over. But, what's worse - the pain or the hangover? Seriously though, the plan was to hang out with our good friends Yoshi Shindo, Walker Wilkerson, and Kyle Pollard and then head down to Thunderhill Raceway where we would be driving our cars for the first time on track.

Last Saturday night, a friend of mine told me that there was going to be a zombie crawl in Alameda that night. Of course I was down, but for starters what the hell is a zombie crawl?
I don't even know what to say about Joe and Justin's new teaser. All I know is they better be millionaires after the full length movie comes out! .: Bohan
While we were all in LA for Irwindale, NBC came out to Larry's house to shoot an interview segment for their show Real or Fake. Interviewer David Garte asked them all about their Stuck video as the rest of us blasted them behind the scenes. Read More
Competition day finally came around. Team America's cars had only arrived on the previous day, but everyone was able to get their cars running fine before the event started. Ross took his bike out on the track to check it out. Read More
The following two days went by fairly fast. Most of our time we spent going to the big street markets to find some cool stuff to bring home. The big market we liked was a little too far to walk to, so we got courageous and headed to the streets to get some cabs. Read More
As some of you may know, Justin Shreeve and I got the opportunity to join Larry Chen in filming the World Drift Series in Tianjin, China. Our Journey began Saturday night, as we were meeting Larry and the U.S. drivers for the event at LAX. Justin and I arrived to the airport a few hours early, so we had time to mess around with our cameras… Read More
