“After the event I stayed a couple days extra to film ‘Drifting in the K.S.A’. Thanks to the kindness of the entire Al Reem Circuit team, they let me get crazy throughout the entire motorsports complex. Nothing was off-limits and I had a blast linking one track to the next through the parking lots and garages and into storage areas basically doing whatever came to mind that would be fun and challenging. Aside from drifting the entire complex, one of my most memorable parts of the whole trip was after we finished shooting and we were hot, dusty, and dead-tired, we ended up putting on a impromptu drift-day with some of the locals that came to spectate the shoot. I was teaching them how to drift, change tires, different driving techniques, and they were so pumped up. While there were no pro’s to show us the ropes back in the day, it reminded me of when I first started; that smile that stays when you link your first drift and the genuine passion to get better and conquer the challenges. I had a blast hanging out and enjoying what drifting is all about!”

Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s 2011 Ford Mustang Monster Energy Drift Car

Press Release:

Lip slides, 50-50 grinds, wall rides, and board slides are tricks primarily associated with skateboarding – that is up until Formula Drift points leader and World Champion drifter, Vaughn Gittin Jr., teamed up with skateboarding legend and business mogul, Rob Dyrdek, to create the world’s first-ever skateboard car and skateboard car park for the Season 3 premiere episode of MTV’s “Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory”.

Pioneers and innovators in their own disciplines, Vaughn and Rob made their fantasy into a reality when they each got their try at maneuvering the insane skateboard car. To help them on their epic quest, the team from California Skateparks created the first-ever skateboard car park with endless possibilities for the aspiring car-skaters. As their weapon of choice used to tackle the park, a 2011 Ford Mustang was outfitted with everything from a grind plate to grip tape.

Vaughn, a former skater himself, says: “Ever since I started drifting, I was constantly reminded how close it is to skateboarding in the fact that it is truly a lifestyle and an action sport that takes a ton of passion and talent. Whether you are on a board or manhandling a car, you can have the freedom to show off your personality and style. For about three years now, I have been dreaming of taking the car control I have from drifting and doing skateboard tricks with a Mustang. I didn’t even have to mention the idea twice to Rob, as he was all about it immediately. He was not scared behind the wheel either! Believe me when I tell you, he also went BIG in the skateboard car.”

Season 3 of MTV’s series “Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory” premieres Monday, July 12 at 9:30pm ET/PT which features Vaughn and his skateboard car.

“I am very excited for everyone to see and feel the genuine fun and excitement we had,” says Vaughn. “It was simply unbelievable for everything that was in my head for years to unfold as perfect as it did on the first outing for the Skateboard Mustang. Huge thanks to Rob, California Skateparks, MTV, Ford, Monster Energy, Falken Tire, and everyone else that believed in this project and helped to make it possible – it was simply EPIC. I look forward to taking what we learned to the next level and having some more skate Mustang fun in the future!”

Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let…fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but..two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination…Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out suits and shoes,
I don’t pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I’m a man of means by no means
King of the road.

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain’t locked
When no one’s around.

I sing,
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Mit 160 km/H im Steve McQueen Stil über einen Hügel zu brettern, das ist entweder verrückt, riskant oder ziemlich mutig. Wie genau die Sache ausgeht kann man leider nicht nachvollziehen, da das Video vorzeitig abgedreht wird. Wer mal einen Mustang GT/CS gebraucht kauft, sollte also aufpassen und bitte liebe Kinder, nicht nachmachen!
