Take two long swing-arm sport bikes, add a couple of really good riders and a Ford Mustang drift car painted up in Police livery and you’ve just developed the recipe for one helluva short moto-movie. The following film was produced by Icon Motorsports and features riders Nick Brocha and Ernie Vigil on a wicked pair of Triumph Speed Triples. Modified to roll sideways at full tilt, these two bikes are sure to be the catalyst as the sport of drifting heads from 4-wheels to two. That is of course unless they get caught by officer Dan Brockett in his 550 horsepower Ford Mustang Cobra. Click through for the video and enjoy.

I suppose as car enthusiasts we’ll always be intrigued by a good video as long as it incorporates all the right elements. Obviously burnouts, power-slides, dirt, jumps and obstacle courses are all things that are a must in this day and age, but what happens when you want to go above and beyond… what then? Well if you’re a couple of Polish hoonigans then you include one very special piece of equipment… a tank, a big f*ckin’ tank.

Ken Block just recently finished up his gymkhana world tour and with it comes not only some great highlights, but loads and loads of tire smoking action. Block started his tour in Vienna, Austria, then hit-up good ole’ Los Angeles California, with his final stop happening in Melbourne Australia. Keep in mind that this tour contained not only the antics of Mr. Block, but also some of the best freestyle motorcyclists in the world. Adam Jones, Alastair Sayer, Martin Shenck and Blake “Bilko” Williams were all on hand to partake in the festivities. That meant that not only were fans treated to some of the best four-wheeled hooning around, but they also got a first-hand look at what it’s like to fly ass-over-tea-kettle on a big-bore motor-bike. There’s no doubt that Block’s tour was a phenomenal success, however now the big question is, when is the next Gymkhana video coming out?

I highly doubt that Ken Block knew what he started when he released his first gymkhana video back in 2008. Not only was it the first of its kind, but since then it has spawn imitators from around the globe who have also tried to ride the gymkhana wave. It used to be that the original imitators were low budget productions, but nowadays big money is being spent, and with that great videos are being shot. The following flick comes to us as a teaser to the Solberg Extreme Motor Show which is something similar in fashion to a ROC (Race of Champions) event, but on a smaller scale. The Motor Show consists of timed arena style racing featuring fully prepped WRC cars and some of the best drivers in the world. It is definitely worth a look, so make sure to click through for the video.

It’s hard to believe I know, but I’ve been known to fracture an occasional traffic law from time to time. I’m not talking of course about anything serious mind you, but sometimes the 55 mph limit just doesn’t work for me. Yes I know there’s a time and a place for hoonigan antics, but sometimes, just sometimes, one has to break their own rules. Rob Ferretti is the creator of “Super Speeders“, a video series that does everything in cars that 99.9% of the population would probably do if they could get away with it. “Flat Out” is their newest trailer for “Super Speeders 6“, and when I tell you it looks like a genuine automotive thrill ride, I’m not lying. Click through for the video and see for yourself.

I have yet to find out the reasons why WRC and off-road desert racing fans feel the need to put their lives at risk every time they view an event. I mean I understand wanting to be close to the action, but getting in the middle of it just to get a great picture… well, that’s a death wish as far as I’m concerned. It’s no secret that motorsports fans are some of the most devoted of any sports genre, however when that devotion puts not only yourself, but the actual participants at risk, then there is something seriously wrong. The fan you are about to see no doubt feels as though he is doing the right thing by jumping in front of speeding off-road buggies for media purposes, but in reality he’s just moments away from causing a catastrophic accident. In fact if there was an award for the dumbest move in motorsports I think this guy would be a shoe-in.

Ronin, Bullit, The Road Warrior and hell, even the Dukes of Hazzard all have one thing in common; the car chase. As enthusiasts we love to see them, hear them and then, when the moment arises, pick them apart. Movie directors and sound editors go through great lengths to make sure that our experience is as close to the real thing as they can make it. However there are those who deem to take a slightly different approach. Drive, starring Ryan Gosling recently hit theaters, and although the film is packed with tire roasting action, supervising sound editor Lon Bender decided to take a slightly different approach when it came to bringing the films 4-wheels stars to life. Although primarily character driven, the way in which Drive uses sound is something that is vastly different from what we’ve seen in the past. Click through to see what I’m talking about.

Birds, airplanes and the occasional man shot from a cannon… these are things that were meant to fly. Full-blown semi-tractors though… not so much. Thankfully though us Ridelust guys live in America, a country where man is free to jump anything on wheels off a ramp as long as there is a county fair around. I’ve seen folks jump buses, bar stools and even a porta-potti once, but this semi jump takes the cake. What you are about to see is a truck known as the CRUSHER as it attempts to set a record for the longest tractor jump in history. Is it pretty? No. Is it graceful? Hell no. Is it awesome to watch? Oh f*ck yeah!!! So click through and prepare for 25 tons of high-flying action.

A few years ago Ken Block burst onto the scene with his first gymkhana video. Since then there have been loads of imitators who have tried to upstage the DC Shoe mastermind. Unfortunately for them though an unlimited budget, access to some of the best camera men in the business and a fully sponsored rally car has stood in their way. That is… until now. This is Gymkhana 0.2 and to say it was done on the cheap would be an understatement. The car is worth about $6.00, the camera car about $12.00 and the props, paint and talent about $32.50. This means that for the grand total of a relatively expensive dinner for one, you too can now go out and shoot your very own Ken Block look-a-like video. The kicker here though is that it’s just as entertaining to watch as the original.

Birds are not supposed to swim, people are not supposed to fly and semi-trucks are not supposed to drift. These are just some of the constants that keep the universe in check. However there are always those who say, “TO HELL” with what the universe says and then go out and do their own thing. Mike Ryan is one of those people and his chariot of choice is a 10,000 pound purpose built semi-truck. Recently Mike was invited to round 6 of the Formula Drift Championship where he spent some time getting coached by 2 time Drift Champion and pro-racer, Samuel Hübinette. The purpose of this meeting was to give Mike a little practice time for his upcoming exhibition run for the fans. Click through and watch how Stuntman Mike gives the universe the middle-finger while at the same time creating for us one of the coolest smoke shows imaginable.
