It's been a while since we released a Speedhunters video I know…. but after a few delays, the production of a whole new set of videos is now under way!
This particular video was shot at Ebisu Circuit last August… we had just finished filming the Team Orange Triple Drift film but I had one more shot I wanted to get done.
So I asked Kumakubo if he could mangji drift directly towards me…..
And then circle the camera, before manji-ing again all the way down the straight…. "No problem!" he said and drove down to the other side of the track to start the shot…. now most of the time I wouldn't put myself in the position of having no barrier between me and a race car, but I had absolute confidence in Kumakubo. He is one of the world's top drifters after all! I hope you like this little film.
BTW a special shout goes out to Ekstrak in London, UK who yet again, has come up with a fantastic custom score for this little film. Tx m8!

OFFICIAL SPEEDHUNTERS SUPPLIERS

It is amazing how Kuma can perform such a stunt as casually as... well... just driving in a straight line!

Nicez!!! More VIDEO's please. I LOVE DRIFTING
Is very important to drift with a smile.
That say Kumakubo.
Is my Idol.
You guys just put a Gigantic Smile on my face! Thanks for this!
"Always drift with a smile."
Regardless of the politics that are running amok in D1, Kuma will still be Present Day D1's best driver to me.
great camera work. my eyes are watering either because of the 'smoke' or from not blinking.
keep it up!
That was so cool! Just a sweet vid concept. Speedhunters bringin' it
Masterpiece!
kuma is ALWAYS smiling, what a cool dude.
fantastic. Absolutely. I would like to make music like Ekstrak ç_____ç
Fantastic video , fabulous lines , this is so right . Pity nissan killed silvia platform .
just amazing...!
Nice Video and music..
thanks
kickass... i llve it when kuma smiles!
the art of drift...
Awesome. love me some slomo drift. Maybe you should try it on a moving Segway next time Rod.
Just straite up cool. OMG!!!!!
Fantastic! Seems the true beauty and nature of the drift is only possible to catch in slo-mo!
But have some minor probs with the file itself. When I open it it starts from 1:29. And I cant watch it with Divx player, which doesn't f*** up black color as QT does. Had the same situation before with GT R35 and Ebisu drift videos. No problems with others - NFS girl and Retro Drag runs great.
TSUISO JYOTO!!!
so so awesome
Made me smile the whole time.
I would love to see it in full speed.
" I hope you like this little film "
-> How could we not like it ?
Very nice work. I really liked that, but I agree with Scholl it would be cool to see it in full speed as well. Post it up!!
Again though, great work!
