- Whats up Everyone! It's taken awhile to sit down & edit this video but I think it's worth the wait - the wildest event of my career but turned out to be my best comeback from my biggest wreck! I'll never forget my 32nd birthday! haha. RTR team absolutely crushed it!
I hope you enjoy behind the scenes of fd Irwindale! Thank you all so much for support me no matter what! See you all on the next one. JD

My background is bmx and motocross. I have dislocated both shoulders, right elbow, and right wrist. Both collar bones have been broken so many times, that they are plated and screwed, ive even broken the right one while it was plated. I say all that, to say this, I have no fvcking clue how you drove that car with 3 grade 2 muscles tears and a fractured collar bone. Im sure you have some crazy Irish dirt bike friends that are saluting you for this one. Much respect man, you could have easily skipped it and nobody would have thought less of you. We are our own worse enemy, when it comes down to competition
That's some badass shit, reminds me of in MX when Ryan Hughes broke his leg but kept going to win.
that's a hell of a resume
pure adrenaline, thanks to our amazing body to produce that :)
You’re a badass! Thanks for the words man, the Broken collarbone, 3 different muscles with grade 2 tears. Pretty nasty injury but explains the pain haha
@@JamesDeane130it's cause James is a fucking mad lad hell yea bro wish for a good recovery and hope things only get better
The RTR design team and honestly the organization is incredible. The fact that they got that car back functional, let alone competitive, is amazing.
right.. that's one hell of a pit crew
Massive shoutout to high level safety equipment in these cars, the crash looked just as terrifying as Orjan Nilsen's flip in Sweden. Both times it could have been much worse injuries. And both of you are absolute madlads for competing through the pain anyway ❤
James + battered Ford = podium. A nod to his humble beginnings.
Gotta love a Ford Sierra!
“Never ever give up” - James Deane. Goes to show If you can do that, anything is possible.
Coming back after that crash, with the injury, and finishing it like you did. That's gangster dude, wow!
Thanks man, it was hard but so glad we didn’t give up!
The strength of that A pillar is no joke, all the weight of the car was resting on that part of the car for quite a while, kudos to the fabricators
Theres a reason why you're known as The Machine Deane! Well done and what a team
Having broken my collarbone, i am in awe on how you managed to drive to that level throughout the weekend and through the pain! This is a testament to the mindset of a champion, staying commited and still giving it all after such a crash. You have my respect and admiration Mr dean, what a fucking mad lad!
Strangely enough, when I broke my collarbone I actually felt no pain. But actually the pain I feel every once in a while now when I sleep on it wrong is worse than when I broke it
Shoutout to Dean Kearney for his cream and Becky for the application 😂😂😂 all joking aside , fantastic effort this season from everyone involved!
Haha Glad you enjoyed it
Well done, James. You are The Machine for sure!
You bring james the machine deane to a whole new level. I knew you had to of messed something up in your arm. But to find out you fractured your collarbone and tore 3 muscles and still got podium. Your crazy and we all love you.
Becky's face while you were laughing over it with Chelsea and Dylan was not impressed 😂
Glad your ok bro that was a crazy crash, and to come back and get third with one arm? You're The Machine for sure!
I can only imagine how many times you’ve heard, “should have kept it left hand drive!” Glad you’re alright, shout out to the crazy quick response time of the FD staff. They don’t even get that treatment in Formula 1!
There seriously should be a documentary on the RTR crew & this event. F'N CRAZY.
You are literally watching it....
I must say this was probably one of the craziest things that I've seen live and Motorsports. And not only to have that big of an accident but to go back out, put on a qualifying run and then podium the next day?? Yeah that is literally what the greats are made of. That competitive nature to just want to win isn't something that can be taught. One hell of a season and final battle James!
Huge props for the season overall. But the fact that ur car and body got wrecked and u were able to do what u did was extremely impressive. Shows ur determination and heart. Congrats to u and the team.
Appreciate it man we love this sport! 😂
Literally James THE MACHINE Deane, I’m so amazed of the fact that you kept pushing through all the pain, it must’ve felt like hell. That was phenomenal! Wish you a rapid recovery.
Just proves how damn good you are... podium with pretty much one hand tied behind your back.
I was the guy who said, "Are you fckn kidding me dude! Hell yeah!!" @ 9:24
Keep that chassis for the rest of your career with RTR. As a reminder of your dedication, because holy hell no wonder they call you a machine.
I just wanted to say you really inspired me and I'm sure others after that massive crash and then finishing the qualifying run with a 360, not to mention you riding Branden Sorensen's door, and the rest of your run through the event! I really clapped hard alone in the room seeing you do the 360 after that qualifying run with a small on my face! LEGEND ❤
Ok James I have herd you talking about your dad sitting in the strut tower on that escort an saying that I’m not that crazy!!?? Really?? I think you have had one of these moments now!!! You are crazy man in a good way!! Huge congratulations for that podium and a big thank you for the show this year! Hope you are healing good now so we can see you rip again! 👍🏻👍🏻😃
I drove 4hrs on a motorway trip, the day after a torn rotator cuff/knackered shoulder, was agony, could barely concentrate. Mad respect to JD for being able to drift like this 💪
In your 2018 year-in video, you said if you have a passion for something, you'll make it happen, and you just inspired a lot of drifters to keep pushing
The way the car was trashed and battered and come back to put on that amazing driving ability shows there’s no quit in you. the team really killed it getting that car back on track and ready for war they really did there thing 20024 is going to be amazing with things to come can’t wait let’s go RTR Team
That was a F ing incredible showing by the team to get the car in some kind of shape and for you to perform as well as you did with a broken collar bone..
Incredible all round! Wow.
Cannot believe you drove that well with a fractured collar bone and muscle tears! I've broken my collar bone and it was a bastard to heal with it being such an awkward area. You're a beast my friend. Already looking forward to next season!!
crazy how fast this seasons gone. doesn't seem 5 mins since you was testing with RTR. The worked wonders with the car to get it back up and running in a competitive way and bless Becky for holding the ice and all her support.
That's why we calling you - James Deane "The Machine" !!! Congrats buddy!
James the fact you drove after that crash is crazy to put it on podium aswell is insane🐐
Dude that is wild. You really are a freaking machine! Drifting through those injuries in a car like that, in a comp at that level... just crazy. Congrats on the podium and happy birthday!
Good on the Marshall who was running towards the car before it even came to a stop 🤘
And this is why you’re called the machine, no one else would of pulled that off. Amazing work
The fact that you was able to carry on after that type of crash is incredible and let alone get that far 👏👏incredible
Congrats on podium lad 🎉that was a scary looking crash ! Glad your ok wish u a quick recovery ❤
James deane is such an inspiration guy to watch. Honestly the car almost flipped and he got the balls to drive that beast again and succeed to 3nd place. Just awesome man. The fact that i watch me favorite drifter Vaughn in the same team with James that was the ultimate!!! Keep it going guys GL on next season!!!!. BTW that ending edit in this video was awesome
Well figgin done 👏 💯 I couldn't wait on this Video to see your side of it all , I hope your shoulder is doing better 🤞And I hope you were fit to celebrate with Chelsea and the team 🎉
What a warrior. Enjoy the off season and hoping for a huge 2024!!
so glad you got some of Dean's creme lad lmao
but fr, this is insane to come back from & podium. you are 100% a living legend
Most people will just never understand the insane level of skill and commitment it took to do what you did at this round. Fucking LEGEND.
All of RTR team totally smashing the season. You gotta love to see that. Congratulations guys
I see why you are called The Machine.. this video being prime example. Honestly didn't think you would podium but you did it. I feel like you won that round because of the sheer dedication to the sport no matter the situation and you had a positive attitude the whole way there. Good job on you and the team y'all absolutely killed it this season. I hope for a speedy recovery and I am looking forward to next season. Glad I got to watch you in person at Gridlife Midwest at Gingerman raceway this year and happy belated birthday!!
Was a pleasure seeing you shake it off in person. I went to the best event this season. I can't wait to see what you bring next season. Get that shoulder better now man!
the fact you did 11 out of 12 laps and that happened was just insane ! your the GOAT James
the emotions i felt just watching this.. i cant imagine how it feels for you. to get that far given the crazy circumstances, truly amazing and so inspiring. so much respect!
good thing you convinced RTR to change the power steering in the beginning of the season
Excited to see you back in FD next year! You’re in inspiration man and we love watching you SHRED!
Man you are a stud to compete with that injury and do so well. And what a team to get that car back going. I really hope to see you back with RTR in 2024! Such a pleasure to watch. True gentleman.
Congratulations on the podium james i can't believe the determination to keep going with a broken collarbone a true Irish drift legend 🇮🇪🇮🇪👍🏻
Absolute machine, I’m not sure how you do it, but you’re a mad man for pushing as hard as you did! Congrats on a podium finish, can’t wait for next season, rest up!!
Watching you finally unlock your level with that car is incredible, that’s the best you’ve driven all year and I’m stoked for you.
Can’t wait to see you drive like that without a fucked shoulder.
Rest and heal up, everything else can wait. Enjoy some time off. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
What you and the RTR crew were able to accomplish was mind blowing! But can we acknowledge how tough those Type S lights are that were lining the wall you 50/50 grind with your roof? I'm amazed they stayed on the whole time
what an insane comeback from that crash, praying to see you back in fd next year, now you've got the first season in a mustang out of the way id love to see you get another chip next year, you've quickly become my favorite driver as well as youtuber.
5:09-5:12 that’s me and my wife. We went just to see James. We have footage of the accident from the stands. The roof of his car flying at us was one of the craziest things. Glad your ok deane.
Vaughn Gittin and RTR built an absolutely amazing machine! The race crew is top notch and the fact that James Deane is even walking, let alone finishing a comp after that crash is a testament to you guy's craftmanship! Well done!
Every single Doctor known to man is SCREAMING! But no matter what form of Motorsport you're in. I feel like you've earned the respect of every old school racing fan. Arm hanging on by a thread and still just throwing it like it's nothing. Much respect! 💯
Your an absolute LEGEND!!!! Congratulations and hope you have a speedy recovery!!!
Every time i watch your videos im smilin nonstop. your such a humble, down to earth and overwhelmingly positive about the most negative situations. such an inspiration to everyone and the sport.
I really hope Dean drives for RTR next season, has anyone heard if he will be back in the RTR for 2024??
He himself said on socials he cant wait to be back in 2024, so Currently we believe he is yes.
I say he will be the main driver an they will pick up someone else an Adam will drive half season again.
@@thomascampbell6517 maybe or maybe this year gave Vaughn another taste for fd?
@@dzzope Or Adam and Vaughn will both drive full seasons? Only reason Adam couldnt this year was conflicting schedule. But after his win in New Jersey he could just opt out completely.
Yes he's coming back next year
To come back from a crash like that and make it on the podium is crazy congratulations and gd work to team RTR
Incredible inside footage of that crash James…..the cage did it’s job for sure🤯
Happy Birthday man and hopefully you heal quickly 🙏🏻🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
DUDE!!!! I was waiting for this video!!! Saw the crash on Chelsea's video.... HOLY SHIT!! Talk about getting through it on Piss n Vinegar ... Fantastic. To all you guys who say these guys aren;'t athlete's..... How Do You Like Them Now. Awesome Work James. Long time Subber. Don't comment much. Happy (belated) Birthday. And for the Love of God man..... Take a BREAK.. LMAO... GREAT video
What a team, what a driver! You had every reason to cry about that crash but no no, you did the opposite and stole the show! Mad respect.
A must watch. So inspirational. This is how life is. You get pushed to a wall a crash and break your shoulder. You get back up get in the sattle and and push that pony through the finish line
James "The Machine" Dean podiums FD with one arm. I think the rest of the field to to step up their game!!! WHAT A RIPPER!!!!!!! What a TEAM!!!! Just wait 'til next year!!!!
Nothing is deserved. There is only what you earn, and you, the team, and Becky earned it for sure in Irwindale!. Awesome stuff, James.
I thought there would be no video for this round, I thought you were so busy because of the accident, but you still made this video. Congratulations on your win and birthday
this is the reason why they say James is the goat. no other driver with those injuries would have continued and ALSO place 3rd in the same event. absolutely incredible to watch
huge props also to fd marshals assessing right away when the crash happened...you can see some running with medical stuffs fire extinguisher and checkin james right after the crash.....huge respect to james on takin that crash like a true irish man.. we can't wait for more james in and out fd or dmce we are here to support the world's best drift machine
James you are my favorite FD driver. seeing you come back from a wreck like this and still go out there and shred like nothing went wrong is why you're the goat in my opinion. I hope to meet you someday. An absolute machine, all puns intended
Love you mate, so glad you’re ok, and took it so well. Love being sent to you and the family
Fracture clavicle is such a painful injury, I’ve experienced it before snowboarding. You’re a WARRIOR for continuing the event and driving i can’t even imagine
Doing what you did with that injury. Dude!! Machine is an understatement.
This is some bad ass Tony Hawk "Never give up" stuff.. to even try to drift with that car AND a hurt shoulder... Amazing.
Happy Belated Birthday, hope the shoulder heals fast!
Serious effort as always, against all odds of a significant injury and a wrecked car. One of irelands greatest sports persons on the world stage. Well done to all.
As the old saying goes. “Fall off the horse and get back on” you tamed that wild mustang ❤❤❤
Holy crap that crash, hope you're ok James, incredible driving even with the injuries, to me that sounds like the luck of the Irish is with you and the rtr team, how they got that car back together so you can send it I have no clue, absolutely amazing performance, much love and respect for you, keep sending it and be safe out there
Last line at bitter end," can I get a drink", as he chugs a bottle. Deserve every drop James... Awesome race busted up and all...
This is what legends are made of. People will be talking about this forever. James quite literally had the worst crash I’ve ever seen in FD, breaks collarbone, totals car and still podiums. I really hope he comes back to RTR
Mad Respect! Epic come back, Sorry about the Rugby bro, but Irish sport is at a high 🔥
That bash bar took a beating! Damn near saved his life
James your such a Badass for still driving after that crash and with a broken coller bone!! Not only just driving but also putting on doors! Really proving why they call you James The Machine Deane!
Next year should do a terminator type livery on the driver side you're literally a machine after that wreck I'm a huge rtr fan and big James Deane fan also and this season was definitely awesome and watch you kill it with one good arm 🤯🤯🤯🤯
James deane I respect your ambition through all the pain that you are going through & with the wife’s help.the race with the 19 yr old showed just how much fun you actually do have driving at the end of the night bro happy birthday man your a true warrior even tho wounded you seen it through anyway possible! Get well soon man
Happy Birthday and congratsulations on the third place finish Even with a broken car and a broken body. I hope that you will be back next year you and Becky fit so well into our drifting scean and I am proud to have you both.
100% animal!!!! Between both of my collar bones i have 9 or 10 breaks apong with several dislocated shoulders, a broken elbow and several shattered hands all this steming from either bmx, hockey or boxing and i gotta say its wild you where still able to drive the car like you did!!! I leanred mind over matter having to box with a broken hand cuz i aint gonna quit from some pain but your injury is crazy I can imagine the pain you pushed aside with some help from the adrenaline. Congratulations on the podium!!!
What an inspiration! You remind me of Finnish sisu 0 give up mentality ❤️ waking up 3am here in Finland to watch you drive like that after SCARY crash was all worth it! cant wait for 2024 ❤️
Legendary effort 🙌 still staying positive even after the crash.
@10:51 " I ran the roof with my fence - fence ripped the antenna off " had me cracking up! On a serious note I'm very very happy you're okay in the end. Heal soon James!
Dude…… you’ve got sum large ass balls for even driving like that an or after that crash…. Massive props bro. I’ve really enjoyed you in the RTR this year. Finally have someone decent to root for 😉❤️ love you James! Hell of a season.
A winner never quits and a quiter never wins...👏👏👍👍🤘
Your gonna be such a beast in this car next year. Im calling it now but FD's first 4 time champion
This event was sooooo emotional for RTR.. I'm so glad you're ok! The team pulled miracles on the cars, Chelsea got the championship, you got 3rd in the event and 5th in the points. After a hit like that to you and the car. Such an amazing team! Happy belated birthday also!!
You are a machine and to me and a lot of people one of the best drift drivers around
That qualifying run just to show every other driver what there up against 🇮🇪 don't know how the team got the car back straight and running right after that. And Happy birthday James. Mad respect for going back out there and pushing through it.
the RTR team is hands down the most knowledgeable and hardest working team in FD. And its not even close. Every team is scared facing any of their drivers. I mean, they literally won 4 rounds this season. That's INSANE.
Those are like, perfect circumstances to jump the car like that. Wild. So glad you/anyone else weren't hurt worse or anything. Continuing to compete, it's why youre one of the best to ride sideways!
You're ready for skateboard griding tricks !!!! Best grind ever seen
