lol they didnt even film on the good turn anyway.. they got like 3 slides and got scared by a security truck to a way more crappier turn where they filmed the rest of the night
 
well about 50% of the real drifters of this forum have drifted on the broke ass kart track and the kart track does have a short lived history in this failing scene. so why was it not included or mentioned in this ideal to film drifting in SFL. I guess if i had a car i might have been invited but maybe not. what ever i think it was done very poorly because of how this forum runs. I don't mean by the moderators but the whole drift scene down here. everybody wants to be the cool one. well not everybody there is lots that just want to have fun. but its the non-drifters that have rights here and its the non-drifters/asshats that made it so hard to communticate what was going down.

People want to say it's a forum for people who are into drifting that doesnt mean they have to drift. Well that cause alot of problems thats why i think there has to be a voted in section...how elitist. Yes but i don't give a fuck what people think about it. The Secret Drift Track Crew had its own invite only forum and it made our lives communicating about drifting so much easier. Oh and look at this....i thinks its worthy. now who should make the phone calls?

guess im still a poser or dont know the right ppl, cause i heard nothing of this til it passed...o well, everyone whines about drifting going mainstream...guess that shit wont happen in sfl soon. :rolleyes:
 
Josh and Anthony, I'm glad someone finally said it. Ralph and I were waiting for this day to come, and we were left untold.... and not to disrespect, but for something that was "drifters only" I saw a few spectators from the pictures.

But most importantly, it's pointless to argue now. I just want to see what came out of all this.

PS: Josh... get online... I gotta talk to you ASAP.
 
Okay.. check it out, I have an idea...... might be a long shot, butttt... why don't you guys get in contact with the Slide America guys instead of just bitching and moaning about spilt milk on this forum. You are all complaining about oh wah wah why didn't you call me, but wtf, you are calling the people who went out selfish and wanted to hog the camera, who the fuck are you?? majority of the people complaining don't come out drifting every saturday night with us, why the fuck should you have been invited?? you don't go out just to go practice and have fun, but you are willing to go out just so can be on video? most of the people who were told about it are the ones who are out there every weekend drifting regardless if their car is running good or not or have extra tires or work the next morning.. I don't care how many drift events you been to, good for you, this documentary wasn't about drift events, so wah wah wah some more. and if you think what I said is unfair or mean or w/e I really don't care because you want to be hypocrits so go cry to Slide America and ask them to come back so they can get you on film.

I did contact Slide America. What does street drifting do for the drift community? Absolutely nothing. Slide America is a documenty based on "the people who will truly shape where drifting is headed in this country." If drifting is heading right back to the streets, we're working in circles. Yes, the documentry is done on the streets and street drifting will always exist, BUT without ever attending events and only drifting on the streets, you're hurting the scene.
 
Promoting what (what is "this")?

Bottom line:
Fact, you all (anyone involved in the inviting) are shady for doing what you did. You know it which is why you all freaked the hell out when I first brought this up and censored the shit out of all the posts (by deleting them).

Fact, regardless of what ends up on that film, it will always be a misrepresentation of the south Florida drift community because what most of you represent is only a small portion of what south Florida has to offer.

Irony, someone invited to the filming started this thread.

Everyone is entitled their own opinion, that's why these threads go on so long. People will just have to learn to accept it, this is not Burger King, you can't get it your way. I don't feel shady at all, I called everybody that I talk to on a daily basis who goes out and slides with me and has been for the past 2years. Now if anyone else that I don't know wasn't invited, boohoo I'm sorry but either I don't have your phone number or I've never met you.. I wasn't the one running the show, so I am not going to post a thread about it because I don't have any of the information about it, it was a last minute thing, like 3hours before we actually went out to slide.

Why didn't they go by Ter-Tech Territory?? Harri was their original contact for SFL what happened there?

And on another note: dori dori

Your post weren't deleted or censored for anything you had to say about the filming, it was personal bickering between you and Jeremy (Agent Rice) going back and forth about some crap not knowing who you are and junk that coulda just been put on AIM or PM.

Apparently in SFL, it does a whole lot since there seems to be 0 events down here. :rolleyes:

It also unites a lot of other drivers wanting to learn and practice while expanding the drift community here in south florida


I've met/helped more local people street drifting down here than at any drift event. So it must be doing something for the drifting community

Dan, I'm always for going sliding with you guys, but you must realize at one point that there are people out there that just slide elsewhere. Just because they choose to slide somewhere else and not talk about it, doesn't mean they dont slide. Ralph has been going out with a few others that'll vouch for him (as well as themselves since they are in this forum) that they've been going at it.

Truth is, I understand you wanted to keep bullshit to a minimum, however there were a lot of people there that could slide and did. And I'd have to ask.... why were you there? You didnt even have a car. And if you say you could've borrowed someone else's car, then that's bullshit because so could have I. Please dont think I'm picking on you as there are a shitload more people in that "special" cast that I can pick on as well. Even FWDs were there, I mean seriously wtf.

There's a lot of people that have contributed to the drifting community that wanted to be a part of this.... I had no running car, but previous to my whole "break" from drifting, I have always went street sliding and I've added up 15 events under my belt. Not a lot of people can say that in SFL.

PS: Someone came to apologize for their actions and "not inviting" people. So why the apology if you guys were right all along?
 
Ter-Tech is not me. If you want to know something about Ter-Tech, ask Harri.

All but one of my posts in that thread were pertinent and had nothing to do with Jeremy until he started shitting out of his mouth.

Oh and there are no events in SFL because nobody signs up for them. Blame yourselves for that one.

WTF? Show me a pre-reg list for any event in South Florida that wasn't an oval track. that wasn't full before the event started. What happened to the Parking Lot event that was suppose to go on and the pre-reg was already full and then it was cancelled "because the said insurance that was already gotten, wasn't actually gotten"?

And please don't bring up Hialeah Speedway because the amount of people wanting to drift is a lot greater now than it was a year ago. A year ago, the Hialeah events would still fill up, but they slowly started to die as drivers cars started to die lol and not everyone can buy and build a new car within a month to make it to the next event.

I was there because I was driving. I am out there every weekend, regardless if I'm driving, just to help other people get better.

The only FWD cars that were there were the Slide America guys and Jeremys scion tC. a total of 2 cars that weren't sliding besides someone that saw Ali at the gas station on the way down and followed us.

Okay, I'm going to say this one more time, hopefully you guys can read this, SLIDE AMERICA...... asked to keep it to a low amount of cars. Now, for whatever reason they requested that, you have to respect it. If not, you are just wasting time arguing about it on this forum, because this is not Slide America.

My question is that why does everyone all of a sudden want to be a part of the community when there is an outside source filming? I've posted an open-invite for every Saturday night to go sliding and yet it's still the same 4 people every weekend. If you guys want to go drifting so bad and be on video, come out Saturday nights and slide, get it on Video, post it on the internet, download it, burn it to a DVD and bam, you are famous too. :bigthumbu

The pre-reg never filled in time. The date kept getting pushed back in hopes of it filling so the insurance premium could be paid but it never could. One day if you ever try to throw an event of your own, I have a funny feeling you're not going to dish out thousands of dollars and assume people will just show up.

Then what's it about?

A nationally recognized documentry about drifting is quite a bit different than hanging out with you every Saturday night Dan. If that DVD wasn't a big deal to you, you wouldn't have shown up. Quite trying to play shit down to back up your point which pretty much sums up to "if you don't hang out with me, you don't get invited." Oh and if you haven't noticed, that's what we're all pissed about! :ugh:

its because it was treated like an exclusive lets invite a few people thing. Fuck all the people that did the inviting they did a shitty shitty fucked up gay ass stupid big mistake decision to not make people that actually drift aware of it. i would have brought at least 2 cars from the west coast maybe Igor too that would have made 3 willing to slide. then add Kyle, Ryan, Noah to name a few more. shit if this was a drifting only forum it could have been announced to all the people who really drift and there would have been a huge turnout of real drifters.


I do agree with josh, i didnt even know this shit was going down, i would have been there.

Dude, wtf, I'm there every saturday night regardless if someones out there shooting a "NATIONAL DOCUMENTARY" or not. so get off it. My point is that you guys dont want to come and drift just to drift and then you cry when YOU dont get called to come get on documentary footage. That DVD isn't a big deal to me. shit, me nor anyone from the FMDT crew even talked to the SA guys so just take your sour attitude else where
 
Actually i dont think its that shady at all... If you dont go out there and street slide and you dont know anyone but all of a sudden you wanna go hangout only because now there shooting a dvd then THATS SHADY.

Also, why are you guys knocking street drifting? If it wasnt for street drifting most of u guys would blow ass at events. Considering how many events actually happen here. :rolleyes:

Bottom line. If you think street drifting is hurting our "scene". Then why would you wanna be part of a dvd based on street drifting?

Read, seriously. Fucking read. This is like the 99th time you've misunderstood plain English. First off, nowhere does it say the DVD is about street drifting. Instead, the webpage says its about drifters at the grassroots level.

And I said

Do you not understand the fucking part that says WITHOUT EVER ATTENDING EVENTS?

Learn how to make a point because whatever your point is, it sucks. And this isn't just about me, this is about every single person in south florida who does support the scene and deserved a part on that film - me, erik, pp, kyle, e30g, ralph, ect ect.
 
Dori Dori,

Why are you such a fucking cry baby? All you ever do is bitch and moan... And yeah i do know how to read plain english. Its just your points are fucking rediculous. :ugh:

YOU DIDNT GET INVITED. STFU

Stop worrying about who gos to events and what not. Are you the fucking drift coordinator? You do you. Maybe if you were to go and get to know these guys and street drift with them then they wouldve thought of you. :bigthumbu

BUT YOU DONT. SO LET IT GO.

You cant blame the people who dont go to events and only street drift. Not everyone has the resources to go to an event all the way in Orlando? Wait, Orlando doesnt even happen anymore, OCALA... :ugh:

This was there time to shine. The guys who go out there and drift on the streets. Why are you crying about it? You mad the spot light wasnt on you? :rolleyes:
