Tire explosions can be VERY dangerous, my brother lost his best friend due to a tire exploding in his face when they were overpumping it to go drifting, he literally died in my brothers arms. This stuff is no joke, it’s scary stuff, even tho all parties involved were super experienced someone still lost a life, please be careful out there.
That 60+ PSI comment from one of them spooked me. Most tires I've seen have 40-50PSI max written on them (and yes, I get that there's a safety margin built in to that number.) I've never gone drifting, I dunno if 50+ PSI is normal for everyone in that scene, but there's no way in hell I'd ever personally fill a tire that far, even brand new.
Exploding tires are spooky, yo. Imagine your hands and face next to that truck doing a burnout. Hell. No.
@@ecardecardian7839Especially with air. At work we pressure test with water because that wont instantly amputate someone.
Sorry for your bro’s best friend
@@ecardecardian7839I straight up had a tire explode like 8 feet from me because someone overinflated their tires and then parked the car on hot asphalt in like 110° weather.
tire tech here. Lost part of my left pointer finger and permanent lost feeling in that hand due to a tire explosion.
Sad adam didn’t introduce himself as “shop daddy adam”
He shall be known as "Sad Adam"😢
Sus
Well this is a different channel tho

Drifting a box truck is actually pretty easy in the snow, especially if the back is empty. They tend to have loads of torque, long wheelbases, crazy steering angles, and with the box empty they're usually front-heavy to boot. Tons of fun.
Reminds me of my 80’s turbo diesel Mercedes. Huge lump of iron locking in the front, tons of steering angle, decent torque and the relatively long wheel base makes the rotation super predictable. Drove like a tractor but would hold a slide in the snow like a champ.
I've done it in a bus with a similar frame. Nothing like that, but a quiet, snowy street can be a fun place
Had a delivery guy onetime he did a donut in the box truck 😂
@@infernaldaedra ....that might have been me.
Haha the newer Uhaul ford trucks allow you to turn off traction control. They're relatively high torque and can get pretty fun on gravel roads. Put the transmission into tow mode, turn off traction control, let 'er rip on the corners. So much fun.

The 'you'll go where your eyes look' advice is legit. That's how I was taught to land when I first started flying. Pick a spot, adjust your glide path, then pay attention to the end of the runway rather than that particular spot. It prevents you from over- or under-shooting. Just let physics do the heavy lifting, cause you can't change physics no matter how hard you try :P
Same for driving in close quarters/through narrow gaps. If you know you can fit, then look at the center. Also why "rubber-necking" is dangerous on the highway. If you stare at the objects on the shoulder, you're going to get closer to them. Applies to marching and mowing the lawn too! Pick a fixed object in the distance and focus on it.
You fly for an airlines?
@@MonstertruckBadass Nah, just PPL
It helps even more if you've ever been skiing or snowboarding
Same with motorcycles. Look were you want to go.
That almost totaled my daily video is super suspicious. He's going way too fast to suddenly stop like that and the camera pans just enough that the car is out of frame.
thought the exact same thing. Tho even if it's fake, props for sliding it even that close lol
💯 it's fake
100 fake he should have hit the front at that speed with that much standing water. you dont just stop one a dime with that much standing water going sideways.
Camera turns and there is a cut
Jobe's face said it all, lmao
these guys were chill and hilarious, really fun
Could we add to the list of future videos, Stunt Drivers React? And have them review both famous car scenes from movies as well as recordings of stunt shows at like fair grounds? I don't know any off hand but would love to see a montage of those and the reactions from stunt drivers.
Better yet, professional stuntmen/women reacting to amateurs.
or rally drivers, their skills are insane and are probably the complete masters of heel toe driving (chech out a video of walther rohl and his foot work its insane.)
I was told once "if you can't afford to wreck it, then you shouldn't be racing it!".
Mine has always been “you can’t race what you can’t replace”
I drifted a limo with passengers once. That's either a big tip or go back to flipping burgers. I got a big tip.
Just the tip?
Just wanna say, next to Donut this is another of my favourite channels. Keep up the great works guys!
So you like Donut and Donut.
it's the same people
I love adam. Just feels like that one bro we all have
12:44 I started learning how to drive a car right around the same time I discovered Initial D. I became obsessed with being able to shift up and down in any situation as quick and smooth as possible so I used to tear around my grandparents property in my old 62 bug bombing up and down the hills and heel toe shifting it every time I had to slow down lol. I got to the point where I was shifting it up and down without a clutch after I realized that it should be possible as long as you match your revs. Was really fun doing it with no tach so I got really good at just using my ears to find the match points. Ended up being a really good thing to learn because it turns out I'm really good at shifting and heel toe down shifts now. Shifting with no clutch is a fun party trick but also really useful when you have a clutch slave or master fail on you or a cable snaps. I also ended up getting really good at finding the braking limit of the cars I drive since most of the cars I had, were old enough that they didn't have ABS.
Dylan was awesome! Need to have him back, dude knows his stuff.
is it weird that Im not really into cars, I barely know how to add my fluids correctly but for some reason I freaking love watching you guys ( and Donut ) even tho I dont understand 75% of whats being said, all I know is that Im starting to appreciate cars a little more ! lol
It’s a slippery slope, and it sure is fun sliding into it
Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here....
That is what the car world wants! Resist, resist, with what nuts you have left! Resist.
Thank you for the content you bring to us all, much love to you and all.
Super cool to see Adam on the show! Always cool when he shows up in main Donut videos but it's great to see him in the spotlight as the expert for this series (:
This video is great. Need a part 2
I get so happy when I see a new video on this channel! Thank you! Ive watched them all twice at least.
I totally did the tray thing in my 99 Eclipse. Only problem is the plastic trays were gone after a few spins so my rear tires eventually had flat spots because I didn't let my e brake down. I was burning the front tires making smoke as my headlights spun around and around. One of the dumbest things I did to a car. Although I did try a 3rd gear break stand in that car later and the clutch shattered and ripped through the transmission and even made some dents in my hood. Fun times
I had the same experience in my 03 civic. So we ended up going to home Depot and gluing sheets of metal to the bottom of the trays. The trays ended up melting, but we got a lot more time in than with just the trts alone.
Stay away from cars please. Thanks..
Dylan did a great job of teaching me more about the physics of drifting and the car science behind it. This was a really fun watch!
I love the first comment, the way you look is the way it goes. Riding a motorbike or even a bmx prooves it. Our bodies follow our minds and this extends to the machine that we ride on. We have built in giroscope in our asses :D
First thing i learned snowboarding. The board follows your eyes/head and it’s definitely true
It's one thing I was taught when I learned stuff for my driving licence : if you get in a dangerous situation, don't stay fixated onthe obstacle but on where you wanna go, because your brain will steer your car toward what you are precisely trying to avoid.
If you've ever skiing or snowboarding you already have this skill and you don't even realize it
Love y’all’s videos!
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in forever! So much good!
I have no interest at all in drifting but this was one of the coolest analysis videos you all have done. Very cool thanks!
Would love to see more track react videos!
Loved these guests, great video!
I have been waiting for this one for so long! Awesome
I miss Sandro more mechanic videos
For the boys!
Yeah, Angelina as well, she's cute af
@@Shamanicus
I remember I used to do all the wheel changes to prep my dads drag car when I was a kid (we flat towed it for many years so we would swap from streets to slicks at the track) and I would ALWAYS triple check every lug nut after swapping them because I was always paranoid I'd leave one loose. Never had an incident, but that's cause of my paranoia lol
Been waiting for this one
Heel/toe has many variations, the one demonstrated here is the american variation, japanese actually use heel on gas, toe on brake. If you daily a manual, heel/toe is a must learn. Not only is it super fun, it is a HUGE advantage you have in an emergency situation. You can brake harder and hit lower gears for braking assist without burning the clutch, and it's also useful when you need you immediately use the power band. Good show fellas. Loving this new stuff
Would love to see you Guys react to any of the "Nürburgring Touristenfahrten" Videos, or Best Ofs! Lots of dumb and funny Mistakes in those Videos
Touristenfahrten at the Nürburgring is when everyone (no matter the Car or Bike or Vehicle) can race around the Nürburgring at any Speed and in any Vehicle each Weekend.
There are Drivers with their Cars coming from all over Europe (Sometimes even Americans from the US but also US Military Bases in Germany) to drive at the same Time as all the others.
Auto Addiction and statesidesupercars are probably the most consistent RUclips Channels filming these professionally and this also includes Crashes and show People messing up with their Car.
Prost & Cheers from Germany
1:55 that happened to Dale Earnhardt Jr during a caution in the 2016 GEICO 500. He grabbed the post to keep from crashing til he could get the steering wheel back on. There’s a video with interview on NASCARs RUclips channel.
i rlly enjoyed seeing you in the crew motorfest ^^
it brought me back to this channel, too
and the game is rlly nice and feels better, than before and looks nice
Definitely do more of this loved this video
Adam drifting the boys in a box truck for the next video please!
Shout out to Rob Parsons! Grew up with the guy. 1 of the most inspiring men I've ever known.
You made donut buddy!
Can't get enough of these!
I wish this video was twice as long and they brought in the mechanics from the other videos to talk about what got damaged on the vehicle after the failed attempt at drifting, I can't get enough of those.
You never realize how much your feet suck at being gentle until you try using your other foot on the clutch or your left foot on the brake. Mad props to that Polish drifter, dude got the skills!
We used to drift in the snow with a Dodge Omni front wheel drive BUT we drove backwards ... WAAAAAAAAA!!!! Go GEN X
Another driver (Rallycross not drifting) that had an injury that caused paralyzing from the waist down is Mats Öhman, drives his Audi S1 like a maniac on track still with a fully hand/arm adapted throttle, breaking and clutch. Dude never let his snowmobbile accident stop him!
That RMS was just so good! Great job
Truck on the vid is from russia its called gaz gazelle and is based on gaz 3110 volga which is son of volga 21 which is based on ford falcon - the more you know. And jz swap for fast reliable deliveries is pretty common here in russia especially in city of Vladivostok area
Heel-Toe is probably one of my favorite techniques that I've learned over the years. Definitely made easier with a good pedal setup. If the pedals don't align well for it, heel-toe downshifting becomes significantly more difficult.
Now I have to change my next trip so I can see one of these shows. Love every part of this.
As a Canadian, driving in snow can be real fun if you know what you're doing
I rolled my car on its side in a snow pile once on an icy road and it was completely undamaged. (Tow truck just flipped it over and I drove away.) It was definitely kind of fun considering nothing bad really happened.
Snow is an absolute blast if you approach it properly. There's nothing wrong with purposefully breaking traction, sliding, locking up your brakes, etc. I recommend it for folks I can tell are scared to drive in snow. If you don't know the car's limits you can't react properly when something goes wrong. Also, big tip is to turn off traction control in the snow and learn to control your tire slippage. If your vehicle has snow specific traction control it might work pretty well, but a lot of modern traction control is absolute trash in the snow. I live in Oregon and when snow hits the low level areas people have no idea how to drive in it which is kind of frustrating because it really isn't that hard.
@@CRneu Agreed, the first thing I did when I got both of my cars is figured out how to control a slide in the snow with them. Not only is it a lot of fun but you learn how to control it when you get into an unintended slide
The way the first tire ended up was too perfect
Literally, saved him from more damage
@@garrettspivey gotta send this vid to my buddy from highschool he did the same thing in his 98 accord. His tires did not save him from more damage 😂😂
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
I love seeing Adam
imagine if we still had Ken to react to stuff like this. 😟
Imagine if we just let dead people rest. That would be nice. Its obvious how it would be if he was here. But hes not. Let it go damn
@Ouroboross- They're not "resting".
My generation first learned heel-toe pedalwork as kids because it was featured in an episode of Speed Racer. True story.
Forza continues with the boys 😭😭 This channel deserves it man! I love the Donut Team, ya'll found the groove and blasted into it!
Adam and Dylan seem like really amiable, chill guys.
idk about anyone else but over the last few months i've literally watched every single donut video available on youtube, and i especially love these real mechanic stuff videos. These videos are the best thing on youtube hands down. i just got so hype to watch this new video. keep them coming guys! literally my favorite.
The best days are when we get Sandro on a mechanics react video.
I've done it over the last several years lol
Can't stand these annoying ass millennials.
WE NEED MORE PRO DRIFTERS REACT
Yo, that low music until 3:43 made me feel like I was Losing My Mind, hated it lmao Love y’all tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Editing dank af in this one
Cable handbrake + snow = Fun handbrake turns in a FWD car.
Yeah, screw my modern car and the damn electic handbreak that wont engage while driving :(
That's actually saved me from hitting several curbs. The car is understeering? Initiate oversteer
@@tigerman1978 In the same boat dude. I had to upgrade and got this electronic crap.
@@lordthicknipples-gt2oq Right on, I just used it to have fun around corners at night
0:50 he's 100%spot on correct! Plus, the road looks wet so that requires a little more throttle skill than you'd expect as well.
Yeah rob “chairslayer” Parsons is an absolute monster in his 180sx
I’ve had threads strip off on my rear axle in the mountains wheel went bouncing. Wasn’t drifting but still same problem
Even if you daily drive a manual, you should learn heel-toe downshifting! It's useful for small decelerations when you don't want to upset the car too much for your passengers and still be in the right gear to keep going. It's always better to have more control on your RPM even if you're not drifting/racing and it's not that hard if your pedals are close.
For daily driving, I just pump the gas then brake instead of trying to do both at once.
It’s way harder then they make it look 😭 I’m 16 ts is not ez
I worked at a tire store back in the 90s. Two ladies came in and said the tires shake about 90 on the highway. I looked at them and all four had 95 PSI 😂. I think it was a ford Taurus or something like that.
Also had two guys wanting to put a 15 inch tire on a 14 inch rim🤷🤷 their friend said it will fit😂😂
The Demamp almost dying clip is my favourite and it doesn't get enough recognition, I love you guys
Dylan has some George Russell energy, and I'm not sure how to feel about it
2:25 happened to Dale Earnhardt at 180mph. He somehow managed to get the wheel back on without wrecking.
He wasn't midway in a drift
This happens more than you might think. Drifting would be the worst time for it to happen by far.
@@jackcampbell6779 I'd rather lose my steering wheel at drifting speeds any day!
@@Sam590ss I guess the speed is better but not in a slide😂
Maaaaan y'all got a plug from The Crew?!?! This is rad af, proud of y'all!!!
Love the red drifting lada riva amd the van
8:08 can confirm on snow. Learned to handle low levels of traction loss and drift in lake effect snow in western NY... In a mid 00s Chevy Trailblazer
I've learned more about driving in snow from finding a safe place to FAFO, then you could ever get from a driver's ed course. You do it often enough and you could call yourself a pro if you got paid. Do it enough and the steering moves are automatic. Great videos. Of course I'm 55 and have always lived in the northeast so I've had a shit ton of practice in snow, and mud.
Sweet upload
I grew up drifting on gravel roads, lot of heel and toe. Only hit the ditch a few times. Miss it now.
I have a 2003 for focus and I love drifting it in the mountains when it's snowing. Just hold the ebreak and throttle control turning inword instead of counter steering. Fwd drifting aka ass dragging lol. I'm saving up for a rwd v8 kit for it.
oh my god man ive been praying for this day i was shocked this wasnt the first topic you did
Great video guys!!!
3:15 "always the lug nuts"... I'm not a drifter. Mine loosened by just going through a car wash recently. It was a hot day (100+ F), I had to wait my turn in the hot sun, finally go through the car wash (cold water) , and within about 2 miles I heard this clunk clunk clunk coming from one of the wheels, same speed as the wheel rotation. It was the lug nuts. At least one or two had loosened on all four wheels. That's why I always carry a torque wrench in the trunk.
I'm planning to carry one in mine to accompany my breaker bar and socket.
The scandi flick too 360 was 🔥🔥🔥
These guys were great!
Love seeing the e36 get so much love. My little E36 may not have been the fastest car I’ve ever owned, but damn if it wasn’t the most fun car I’ve ever owned.
I love Adam paired up with Zach! ❤
Yes. In the snow you can drift a box truck... 😻 I did it a few times while delivering furniture in a 30' box International. Seriously though, it was all about safety and on empty roads. One needs to know how a vehicle will behave in slick conditions so that you aren't finding out in traffic or in town.😇 I also always test braking on icy and snowy roads so I know how much grip I have and if the vehicle will pull to a side... Safety can be fun! 😸
I love Shop Daddy. Adam has a cool personality.
Good to see you behind the table, too Shop Daddy! ^^ And of course, welcome Dylan! :)
This was a good episode.
this was phenomenal
5:27 and THAT's how you know that wheel was OG. If it was a replica the whole thing would have just grenaded
420K subs, now that's a milestone!
There are three vehicles that I have drifted on snowy or icy roads one of them was a 92 Oldsmobile station wagon, and 88 F-350 one-ton and a 06 International Class 8 commercial truck.
I used to slide my 02 beetle in the winter, it was front wheel drive but I was able to weight transfer it into a really clean slide. I have a 2020 toyota 86 now so I can get a little sideways on dry pavement.
I use the same technique to do spins on my hovercraft. Works well. Kick it out one way to get extra spin the other way.
Box truck guy was on point! Gotta have these guys back, they were awesome on commentary.👍
That first video when he said where you look is where you are going to go 100% learned the lesson my first year riding motorcycles lol 😆
LOL at the QT reference. Gold.
The earliest I've ever been lol. Love the videos
James I absolutely loved your role in Motorfest shit had me cracking up every race
Haha I did that heel toe method because my first truck was a 1976 Toyota PU with points that always needed adjusting.
I’ve got my lil 04 mustang gt and I’ve taught myself how to drift in it funnest side hobby ever tbh it’s a manual and the main thing I’ve found myself breaking is clutch’s as it’s my second vehicle definitely worth the fun it gives
the 2nd video was a hoot and a half! 🤣
imagine trying to control the rest of what's left of the steering column after the wheel popped out. 🤣
