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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

No one: Not a single soul: Shulman: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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🔥🤟

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!

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

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

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

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

Adam: “that was really fun”

I just know this vlog is gonna be JUICY

"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...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.

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

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

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

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!!!

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

De Nofa’s massive flick to start the course has got to be the best one out of the whole field of drivers

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!

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

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!

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

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.

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 🤘🏼

i love how collete's hair matches the livery lol

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

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

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

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

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.

I didn’t think I was going to watch this 48 minute video but I was so proud of Adam that I had to see this all ‼️ to see how far you came from buying your 240 cream to this 🐐🔥 and every time you where done you where happy no matter what it’s unbelievable your happiness ‼️

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.

It’s always you and foresberg I can see a rivalry forming in the future lol

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

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.

It's cool to see Adam drive with the big and famous drivers props to you Adam LZ

If this didn’t prove Adam is worthy of being in FD to all the FD lz haters I don’t know what will

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

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

Freddy always look like the most happy person in the world when he talks engines and tuning - he can't even hold back smiling while talking 👌🏼🙏🏼! That's how you look when you do what you love ! Such a mvp!!

Adam your driving is insane! Keep it up bro happy to see you comfortable in the car and seeing your driving in comp match the skill we know you have

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.

28:07 I get its a decel zone, but tell me how that's not a brake check or excessive decel. It's frankly dangerous driving and Forsberg keeps getting a free pass on this garbage. Odi got porked for "hitting" forsberg earlier in the event.

Watched it live, was worried I’d miss the first battle but managed to get there in time. Proud of you man, you drove like an FD vet !

I respect collete so much for sticking with adam and supporting him

It’s cool the things we can learn from Freddy that we may not have learned otherwise. He covers some things in tuning that aren’t typically mentioned and it’s just neat to have that information now

Forsberg parked it when you went off course..

Divine with the fire 🔥 filming! Adam with the fire 🔥 driving!

Well done Adam you really made all your fans proud keep it up🙏🙏

I love how much fun he’s having. He doesn’t really care about not getting podium he literally is just going for fun and he killed it

don't ever doubt your skills, your beating veteran drifters! more seat time can only lead to honing your skills in even more keep smiling bro!

Congrats on the top 4 placement!! Well deserved, great battles and a blast to watch. Keep it up

Chris “brake check” forsberg

Yes, keep having fun young man!

Awesome result to the LZ team..... Your team was focused and worked as a strong unit to give a strong competitive result. So proud of you Adam your mental focus and commitment on the throttle in the turns showed you will be force in FD Racing.... Congrats to the LZ family luv u all and awesome content....

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 ♥️

Adam's interviews are the best "I'm just gonna keep having fun"😂🐐

Again thank you so much for letting me move your chaser for you!!! That meant a lot to me man! That is my ultimate dream car and not only seeing one in person for the first time but getting behind the wheel was epic!!! Thank you sir!!! The most humble person I’ve ever met!!💪 congrats on the top 4 finish!!! Can’t wait to see you up on the podium!

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!

I still remember when adam first bought the s15 from Pat. I would never believe that this is where it would have led. What a legend!

I love the in car footage, it really shows how intense these runs get.

Hell yes bro!!! You did awesome this weekend so proud to see how far you’ve come as a driver from OSW events to this and how far your team has come to support you there

I cant wait to see Adam podium next round

Adam did amazing during the lead runs and was able to force the pros into making mistakes, if anything he needs to work on his chase runs and he will place higher more consistently.
