The start of this video and that the moment he got heated made this for me. It's interesting watching both of you over the past year since getting into drifting because I love how Chelsea even points out that he's the truth teller. Even watching this video getting down to earth. I laughed because I thought it's one of the channels I go to almost for a bit of therapy. I always felt on the same page as Chelsea but this video really cements it as there's a lot of fake wannabes out there and in my experience, even some of the people I used to look up to made me lose interesting in drifting and get upset some individuals as I don't think we need it. It in such a fun atmosphere. Also, the fact that wearing it for the driving is so true, but unfortunately there's companies and poses that are trying to build up some fame which is particularly the part that turns me away as I feel creates a barrier and people like them tend to be full of themselves and look down on others, especially the beginners and pick with no experience drifting or mechanically! Keep up the great work both of you, I'd love to see you down here in Australia one day.🎉
Instead of a one more time they should do a x Factor run whoever has the most style. That's what will break the tie. I throwback to what drifting used to be in the modern day.
Find local business, big or small that would allow a parking lot skid pad layout. Organize Kind of like a little drift festival, get local business and local food vendors involved. Maybe make it spectator and ride along geared. The businesses get to promote cool shit, we get to drift.
11:55 the fact that he will call out the bullshit but at the same time not belittle new guys trying to learn is what makes him so easy to look up to and theeen the fact that he is always trying to teach by any means possible never gatekeeps any information is what makes Chelsea an ICON whether you love him or hate him he is undeniable. #packursh*tinthef*ck*ngtrailer ❤
I am drift masters fan and I think every drift masters fan wants to keep the tyres as big and sticky as possible, and the cars as 1000+ hp monsters. There are plenty of lower more accessible leagues. (atleast in Europe) People want to see the best of the best in drift masters.
Chelsea is the best spokesman for drifting or just driving in general. So beautifully said when he says he’s “driving for the last 20%” because that really means a lot. A show is 2 cars driving at 80% safe and sound, but when Chelsea goes on the track you know you’re about to see 100% and it means the world. Man is the absolute best Drifting Ambassador we could ever have. So much respect he has earned. 🫡
As a newbie drifter in the scene I'd say it's the toxic attitudes and wankers ruining it. Sure most people are great but for some reason it's a few people that are either reps for brands, own shops, run drift events and/or are apart of the drift community in someway. I've been looking upto some people and companies prior to entering the scene but upon getting in to learn the ropes as a beginner I was shocked by how some of these people would treat others, look down on beginners, talk crap about other people etc... The petty school yard crap just doesn't seem to stop unfortunately....that's life.
In my opinion to chelse question he said 3 out of 4 people would gravitate if they seen drifting i just don't see it i think maybe 1 out of 4 would you can't even tell if the driver did good or bad or who wins
I remember when driftting comps started here in New Zealand and you could rock up with a A31 Cefiro with a RB20DET lock diff and some budget coil overs and actually be competitive ,Many moons ago we would watch Japanese mountain drifting and we sorta had alot of the same roads in the hills that we would go drifting late at night with the skills we saw from the drift Bible ,i loved it in the rain as it was easier on the car
I honestly feel like there is a lot more that could be done to ask the lead driver in competition drifting to do, that would make it much easier to judge and make it much easier to chase. Drifting would be easy more exciting and way more audience friendly. Especially the growing audience in extreme sports which is almost becoming main stream.
Those moments on track with the other drivers, everyone getting pumped up and driving on the knife’s edge together is what made me instantly addicted to drifting, and why I decided to get into the hobby at 40 years old. Competition is fun to see how you stack up, but for me the memories with the homies is way more important!
I enjoy these conversations and I’ve heard in the past what I’m about to bring back up. Aaron has brought it up in videos. The economy has a lot to do with what ppl can do with a budget. A lot of ppl do not want to physically buy another car to go drifting and then buy tools and then do the maintenance upkeep. Entry level these days can be Xbox with a Logitech wheel setup on Forza. Upgrade later to a Moza wheel setup with handbrake and such. Maybe a decent computer with Assetto Corsa. It’s a cheap entry fee for gear and no buyers remorse into it on the pricing. Traditional Motorsport is a money losing sport. 98% of the time. By the time you get money back on investment…you are probably burnt out. If you wanna grab the youth mindset has to change. Use that technology to our advantage
I have a family who come first and unfortunately can’t go physically drifting with a car. My only option is to just build an awesome sim set up and have fun at different tracks online at night while the family sleeps. 😂😂 Forza Motorsport 7 I am upgrading this winter to a Moza Setup. I am starting to teach my young daughter about racing and she is starting to do slides around the track. Eventually drifting.
Drifting is the stylized version/freestyle of racing cars, thats it, we're here. You can comp it or you can showcase it. I dont understand the "where is it growing?" Its simple.
THIS FELLA IS A ICON. he's real he's not pretending to be one thing or another for good or for bad, same reason people love travis. no BS just skill and big fuckin balls the fact you started in fd with your own bmw was awesome, but by rtr i was a fan regardless
stop talking about matt sliding down the seat and talk to him about it instead of talking bad about him behind his back it looks really bad when you do that kind of thing on your videos.
I feel like the reason why a lot of people like Chelsea is his driving style is unique he could be driving any car and you know which one is him just buy the amount of aggression il and style while still being on line which not too many people can do as well as him
two lots of people who would have been disappointed by him quitting FD, James Deane would have liked to have battled him in equal cars, and the FD owners would be disappointed this huge name in FD quit. I like Chelsea is looking how else drifting can evolve like how moto cross. What annoys me about Chelsea, he never says, the other guy was just better, its always something else the car the tire etc etc, he's got the classic motor sport driver attitude of if everything goes well with the car and conditions I'd win every round, or when he says I doored him the whole way around but he didn't. Ok also he throws backies in tandoms but its not going to give a very hard chase for the other guy, and yes chelsea has a his opinion, but it might not be great overall to watch, Qual single runs great, looks great but can't tandom. Big ups on the porche and doing something different and the big style, its not so black and white I think, backies cool yep hard to chase yep.
Chelsea is definitely an Icon for American Drifting His driving style, and aggression, which even after getting on to RTR still drove the mustang like they were his own bmws back in the day. He's always just 100% from start to finish, and I think most of us loved that. He's always pushed the envelope, never holds back on or off the track (lol) I still want him to do a full tilt suspension tuning break down
comps should pay more, drivers shouldn't have to rely so much on their partners, the organization needs to make sure that funding is there for the drivers (not specific to any organization they're probably all lacking) the comp can't happen without drivers so that's where the orgs money should go... and they should be responsible for making sure they have enough sponsors or tickets sales to pay the drivers.
Watching FD, it seems like the announcers are trying to judge the runs as they happen and see things, at times, totally different than what the judges actually see. The commentators make it much more confusing and generate a LOT of undue drama with their contradictory or incorrect observations...
Let the guests talk more. Chelsea would be talking and you’d flash to yourself just staring or taking a drink lol. Even at one point he was concerned about cutting you off 😂
Aaron be aaron, he at least knows he is, like asking 10 questions in a row, who 'll remember them all. And then interrupt them, he did less here. Progress if not perfection Aaron, well done you. Great insightful question asking how will he create his own media stardom now when before it was sort of handed to him once he got to rtr
Chelsea is that uncle who every time you’re around him you’re definitely going to have fun but learn some very important lessons from him at the same time. I always love to sit and just listen to every word he has to say drifting or not
What chelsea wants from Drifting, Alota people probably don't want. He asked drivers at Etown and non of the replies was anything close to what he wants drifting to be. Judging being better is everyones opinion other than that Chelsea's vision is not that common
I think it’s because of my positioning and how involved I am. Thats OK tho, drifting professionally takes a ton of time and brain power, and my visions are based more upon creating time to look at the future instead of worrying about what’s happening currently
Chelsea's style, balls to the wall driving and being him from driving, husband, youtuber, drives people off the corse If they slow him down... and the way he cussed out the m-spec guys for being "FUCKING PUSSIES" buahahaha
My opinion everyone loves your balls to the wall style you don't hold your tounge yes there was battles where if dialed back u would have easily won but every run was exciting and I loved it
