FD Texas Round 6: My First Top 4 

I’d like to address quite a few comments I’ve seen regarding the “toxicity” in the FD livestream chat. First and foremost: I want all of you to know I am unbelievably grateful for all of your support. When I’m in my car on grid I swipe through social media and am always overwhelmed with all the positivity being sent my way from you guys. With that being said, I am being told I have a toxic fanbase and that the livestream chat is ruined because of it. I truly believe that you guys, my true fans, would never intentionally make me look bad and there is a large likelihood the toxicity is from haters mocking my fanbase. As with any professional motorsport - there are tough calls and even us drivers have a hard time understanding them sometimes. There are instances where rather confusing judging criteria justifies a decision - and I believe both myself and FD themselves can do a better job at explaining this. I am embarrassed at how the live chat has been moderated - and numerous times we have noticed that they chose to literally ban anyone from commenting “adam LZ, LZ, etc” instead of timing out or blocking toxic commenters. This just agitates people more and makes you guys feel excluded. We were given the opportunity to moderate the chat ourselves, but we simply did not have an idle staff member that could take it on during the event. I know it is frustrating - there have been many internal challenges we have been facing as a team behind the scenes because of how different our socials are to other teams. We are working with FD for solutions on many fronts and can only hope it improves the viewing experience for everyone. Thank you guys again for everything - I would not be here without you and all your support

Adam: makes a living off of talking to a camera Also Adam: interviews like a 7 year old on camera.... "I had fun....". Lol Love ya Adam

Adam: “Gotta make sure we hit the 10 minute threshold.” *40 minutes in*

Adam: "Mike if we're already passed the 10 minute Mark don't put any of this in the video" The video: 48 Minutes

Lmao I love when he gets asked questions by the lady with the microphone, “uhhh, that was fun...”

I couldn’t imagine the feelings going through adams head during the 3rd place battle. Imagine going up against the person that got you into drifting, thats such an accomplishment! And to get a OMT with him? even better.

"look who stopped by" "BRUTHUURRRRR" 😂😂😂😂😂

By far this is the best video that has been posted on the channel, we all sit through the stream and wait and watch for Adam to complete his runs, what a lot of people don't get to experience is what goes on before, between and after the runs. I am very impressed with how mike captured the event and put the whole video together. From Adams reactions after each round to collete's excitement, and the whole crews reactions it really puts a different spin on how pro events go down, and is very fascinating to get a behind the scenes of how a professional event goes down and runs. I am beyond impressed on Adams lead runs and how he executed!! Keep up the great work Adam!! and mike keep up the great work, that was definable one of the most well put together videos i have ever seen, felt like i was watching a Netflix documentary

Colette: I’M FREAKING OUT MAN! Adam: That was fun. Lets have fun! LZMFG: Year of the OMT

No one: Not a single soul: Shulman: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I can see in Adam's eyes zoning out & the first thing that came out his mouth is: i had fun 😂

Pro fd drivers: having a competitive season trying to get points Adam: "i had fun"

“Uh. That was really fun” had me absolutely dying 😂 😂 😂

"Adam what will you do to keep moving forward" Adam: "uhhh having fun has been working for me so I'm gunna keep doing that ha ha" legendary lol

Tonight on LZ Gear. Adam sets Forseberg on fire Shulman screams at something and Freddy makes car go brr

No one: Not a single soul: The Annoucers: NiCe LiTtLe FLicK tHeRe

*interviewer expecting adam to say something very technical about his run* Adam:it was fun

i watched this man from doing bmx tricks to going top 4 in a pro 1 formula drift race. makes me cry happy tears mane ;)

reporter: what do you have to do to keep moving forward Adam: *flashbacks of TJ HUNT*

“Funded by us” I appreciate the love back to us.

“That’ll buff out” Shulman- “Im not buffing that out” 😂

Adam has progressed so much who else remembers his first skids in the cream s13 ???

2:09 S15: Get out of my way E36: Ok :(

Collette showing us how proud she is of you was pretty special. You got someone worth holding onto there. Never let her go and together you'll reach the top in no time!

I love how supportive Collette actually is. It’s really nice to see!

Ryan: “Adam LZ hits Chris Forsbergs and He Explodes” Jarod: “ Chris forsberg’s on fiyaaaaa”

1: Chris Forsberg 2: Von Gittin Jr 3: Chelsea Denofa 4: Adam LZ That's not bad company to keep! 👍

Way to go brother!!! Hell yeah!!! To see your whole team pull together, the excitement on Collette's face and that genuine perma-grin you were wearing was just so uplifting and exciting. If you've ever competed in any professional motorsport than you know the feeling of that environment, having an absolute blast doing what you love is unmatched! The whole video was a giddy edge of your seat experience! Great job to everyone involved. Can't wait to see you on the podium in the next round!!!

Cleetus trying to get into drifting so he can host drifting events at the f. factory!

Massively Impressed!! You've faced so many rough patches getting here and you "keep moving forward" and get better and better. Your performance and continued positivity throughout it all has been an inspiration.

Bro you're an animal! The way you stayed in it going blind through the smoke so many times is just insane. I've been here since the bmx days and as a driver you've just grown soooo much its a pleasure to witness. Keep it up dude🔥🤟

"If the video is pass 10 mins dont put this in" video 40 mins long *still puts it in*

“Uuuhhhh. That was fun” best answer I’ve heard to an interview ever.

I can’t believe how awesome these video’s are. The car is beautiful, the drifting/competition epic, crew fantastic, and Adam is the man! Thanks, love this sooooo much.

Bro you did amazing! Cheering for you the whole way man, to see how humble you are after going so far and still being so pumped about how you did...awesome to watch period!!!

Legend has it that front clip is now in orbit around the earth

Great work from Collette picking the camera up and giving some context when everyone else is busy working on the car. Keep killing it Adam, you deserve every moment of success!

Congrats man! I am loving watching you progress and get more and more comfortable with the car and track. It is truly amazing. Even though the 2020 season isn’t over, I am hoping to see you keep with it in the 2021 season and do even better!

I remember watching you all the way back when you made BMX videos -- It's insane to see how far you've come. You've worked incredibly hard to get to where you are now. Super proud of you, and keep up the amazing work!

Your average FD driver: no I lost some body panels and didn’t win Adam: that was a lot of fun and this is the most amount of seat time I’ve gotten in FD

Missed opportunity to make a a funny jab at TJ when the interviewer said “keep moving forward” 🤣

so proud of adam hes come a long way and deserves where hes at

You're a legend man. Started watching when you were learning how to link the OSW skidpad in the S13. Crazy to see the progression and can honestly say you're one of the main reasons I feel motivated to get my cars done again and get back in the driver's seat. Thank you.

"Hey, I'm with Adam right now: So Adam, there was some contact with Ryan Turk..." "Uh...that was really fun!" Lmao, Adam you're a f*cking gem.

"Adam LZ Hits Chris Forsberg AND HE EXPLODES" Sage handed you the perfect title. Missed opportunities man.

Congrats Adam! I’ve been watching for years and it’s great to see you do an amazing job. You smashed it!

Bro I’m so proud of you , no one is on your level , love the energy you give , positive vibes and just having fun 🔥🙌🏼

Adam: “that was really fun”

I just know this vlog is gonna be JUICY

Good job brother, been following you the last 5 years. You have come along way and you have just started. Awesome to see for you, your team, your girlfriend Collette, also a fan, and everyone in between. Live your dream

Been watching since the BMX days, now you’re killing it in FD. Couldn’t be happier to see you keep succeeding in everything you do, so much love ♥️

I feel like your interviews post-battles are getting more and more awkward every time lmao I love it. Keep killing it!

Chelsea and Adam's battle easily the highlight of the year. Love your work El Zed ❤

Well done Adam!!! You and the team absolutely killed it. So pumped, first season and you're killing it like this. Unreal!

Wow, it’s incredible seeing your progress. Stumbling blocks are inevitable when you literally build a team from scratch. It was never a question of talent, but of skill. Not just from the driver, but every member of the team. And skill only comes from experience. Good luck, you’ve made so much progress. Never give up.

Adam assessing the damage “ Im never going to financially recover from this”

Ever since you went to Japan to drift over there you’re driving has gone to a whole other level Adam. So proud to be a subscriber and to see you’re progress thru the years. 🙏🏻 Stay strong brother

ADAM...I have to admit I have never watched drift competitions, you have totally changed that for me...now I am totally into it, cheering you on and enjoying every minute of it! Your doing a fantastic job keeping up with the veterans...keep having fun...stay safe and God bless...Dave.

Wow dude, this was so awesome to watch both live and back here in your video. Found myself getting choked up watching your team and how stoked everyone was. Just awesome. Congrats bro.

Announcers\judges::: there may have been contact Tuerks car ::: sitting on frame rail

Lauret- "Adam some contact with tuerck" Adam- " IN A DAZE.... UH..OHH... that was really Fun...."

What a great uplifting, happy video. Adam's driving has come so far this season. The team is amazing group of men and a woman who really have done a wonderful job. Congrats on the top four !!!

It’s genuinely nice to see collete so nervous for you and so passionate to see you drive, she knows exact what it’s like to be behind the wheel and how good it feels to get through each round. Your driving has come alone so much since I started watching you and to see you compete in fd is amazing

You’re going to win a championship within the next 5 years, my dude. Truly impressive driving! It was a blast to watch! Keep it up!

18:33 "Contact with Tuerck" - Interviewer "Uh that was really fun!............aha ha" - LZ 😅😂

Having fun is the best way to win anything. Just enjoying what you do and loving it can just take away all of your pressure and make you drive better and more consistent. Great attitude, Adam!

Makes me really happy to see how successful you have managed to be in your endeavours! Been watching since your first drift day video with the s13, keep it up, you are insane :D The s15 is so beautiful in drift!

Something that I saw in the livestream chat that I’d like to present here. “Some of these guys have been drifting for longer than Adam has had his drivers license”

I think we can all say you made a statement this weekend. Hell of a job

I absolutely love your videos especially these sick FD videos. Keep em up I will never stop watching Adam Lz

"Having fun's been working for me so I'm going to keep doing that" is what 2020 needs. Thanks Adam.

Adam: year of the flame *lights forsberg on fire*

Who else watched the live and it’s still watching the video anyways ? 😂😂😂

man we are all so proud of what you've accomplished, and how far you've come. man i just can't believe how well you did, so happy for you man!!!!!

I’m so proud of Adam man he’s come such a LONG way to get where he is now. He has dream cars of mine, millions of subscribers and also is a Pro 1 FD driver. Adam is my biggest inspiration. Proud of you man

I sat here and watched the whole video that’s how engaged I was I love his enthusiasm

Adam Lz really inspired me with bmx and also got me into cars this guy is a legend keep it up 🤘🏼

You did such a great job Adam! I had so much fun watching you work your way up to the top 4 and go through the OMT's. Can't wait for Irwindale!

This is by far one of my favorite videos I’ve ever watched on your Channel thanks man for the great content and glad you had fun lol

Watched this whole live stream congrats I was so excited when ever you went

Adams interview was very "I like turtles" eske 😂😂😂

Man it is so surreal seeing where you've gone in 5 years. I remember buying my feed bert 2015 shirt and the BMX videos from back in Florida when you were still in school and now 5 years later you're extremely successful and driving in Formula Drift! CRAZY!

Not much of you notice the effort behind editing this. Mike! You have amazing editing skills. Thank you for bringing me in to the story and the excitement. Great filming by all you. I felt like i was watching a documentary. I experienced emotions with the team, and so much rootin for Adam! You go, guy! Mad respect!

Smiled straight for 48 minutes. Love to see your progression and you having fun out there. Those close rounds convinced me to get that S15 Hoodie. Can’t wait for the next event.

i love how collete's hair matches the livery lol

Watching your progress is amazing. I’m willing to bet you will be a champion in the next couple of years. Keep the positive vibes and keep shredding!!!

This is the most comfortable I think we’ve all seen you as viewers in the s15 and it’s awesome to have watched you progress in FD. Glad to see you’re having fun out there man!

Who said this is a vlog. I’m grabbing some popcorn, this is a movie! 🤤

My heart was pumping throughout the competition. I'm so proud of you Adam. Let's finish with a podium

incredible driving for the week, love seeing you get out of your head and just drive, truly reminded me of the Ebisu videos. superrrrrr pumpedd for the future. Very Proud of you can't wait to see slay again.

I'm so proud of you Adam. I've been with you since you drifted Cletus's Leroy. It's amazing how much you've accomplished.

Dang Adam out here putting out mini documentaries

Chris does like to brake check a lot. Especially when the championship is on the line. He also did it to JTP last round in Washington. Very good driving tho Adam I was cheering you on from St. Louis

Best thing I have seen all year... Edge of my seat the whole time. I didn't see any of the live over the weekend so this was a total nail biter. Great job.

The quality of these videos are insane. Everything flows very well! Congrats on top 4

I watched every minute yesterday and every minute again now, you're absolutely killing it! You, Vaughn, and Chelsea might need to start bringing cleetus along to every event.

Definitely 2 podiums at irwindale. I can feel it. You’re killing this “throw away” year

Great work LZ been watching since you got the cream 180. Keep it man cant wait to see what the future holds you and your team are fast learners 👌

This was awesome! Big ups LZ!! You will get a podium. And you have evolved through out the years. Congrats! Don’t ever ducking stop!! My inspiration for realz

Its amazing to see Adams skills progress from his first event in pro 2 keep going bro doing us proud
