Dangers of Drifting (video and crash!)

[Vipernet]

Was out tonight with a few mates being lunatics on our private secluded roundabout. Was a good laugh with some pretty good drifting going on.

The video shows my mate in his 200sx doing a couple of laps and just drifting wide the second time round and mounting the kerb. No major damage, the tyre came off the rim but the rim wasn't buckled. These 200sx's are pretty tough!

Sorry about the video quality, but it is taken from a phone. Still not bad.

would be surprised if the suspension isnt bent in some way after an impact like that. Good drifting until that point though

200's are so the best car for cheap drifting. friend of mine has one, last rolling road of 310hp, doesn't really drift though as he doesnt want to throw away the money spent on it.

Some pretty impressive drifting untill the impact

Looks to me like he was starting to pick up too much speed, hence going wide and hitting the curb. Still, I can't talk

At least you're proud of your drift scars!

pretty decent skills there shame he lost it thou, hope the damage isn't too bad - would be worth getting it checked out thou

(and where are the "think of the children" bunch? i'm sure they should be trolling around in here any second..... )

I know? I thought I would've been flamed in every second post for posting this.

On your first point he has noticed his boot doesn't quite close flush now.........
