    Bro this is actually pretty sick, he went from being not confident in his driving, to blowing up a motor, and then to winning a pro 1 drift battle.

      lucky win though, if the geezer didn't cock it up, LZ would have lost. Hence why they said "huge upset" on the stream. The other diver was the reason, not LZ. still a win is a win, so what does it matter. Just don't go thinking LZ is better than everyone else like I know some of his "Younger" fans will be thinking and saying!

      TheShubbah gushi didn’t just make some dumb mistake. adam clearly outdrove him. adam had more angle and more wheel speed than gushi on both runs. that was especially true on adam’s lead run where gushi only made a mistake because he was trying to catch up to and match adam’s driving.

      @Tommy Yuckguts seems to be I've hurt you "dude", being honest and realistic isn't being miserable or hating. I said a win is a win, but I can forsee his younger fans, not the fans like myself and others over the age of 12, understanding this win wasn't due to Adam being a better driver, and that's just the honest truth.. Think you need to calm down bud.

    Been watching Adam Lz since I was about 13 years old (going on 20 now). Met him a few times at new town skatepark, showed me and my buddy how to 360 out of the bowl and did a truck driver and a 180 tail whip on my old bike. Seeing how far Adam has come in his life just gives me the goosebumps. One of the coolest, most humble guys you’ll ever meet. Super proud of Adam and everything that he has accomplished over these years, and I’m thrilled to have the pleasure of meeting him on those few occasions. I don’t ever plan on stopping the support, he deserves it all. Cheers Adam, keep up it we’re all so proud of you

      You won't because Ken follows you way to fast off the bank. Yes, Ken was all 4 out, at the end of the Nascar corner, but you demolished the clipping cone coming off. Even though you got the win, your chase was trash, and your lead was trash. Style points don't win here drift Pastrana. That's who you are. Yet you'll never do first or golds like Pastrana did.

      Shouldve been 2-1 omt atleast in my eyes.
      The impression ive gotten from Essa the past few years is that he is good, but extremely inconcistent when he’s under pressure.
      Not saying Adam wouldve won easy, but he def earned a OMT.

We have to be mindful the fact that there are a ton of people/professionals in the sport who feel he shouldn't be there, and don't want him there due to the fact Adam can afford to compete; but more importantly, he's a driver/wheel ace.

I recently bought a 300zx and these videos are making me excited to slap a hydro on it and take it to the track! So proud of Adam and how far he’s gotten. Heres to more wins to come!

    Forget the hate man! You're doing so well considering how little experience you have within FD. Once you have another year or two under your belt; you'll know how to set the car up better and have a better feel for the other drivers. You have come so far since i first met you on your first trip to Australia dude! Your driving now compared to then is honestly unbelievable, as long as you keep yourself motivated you will continue to find new heights! This is a dream for many people and few ever have the skill and the means required to achieve it and will try to tear you down, dont listen to them! Keep up the good work!

    Even though the judges say that going rear tires off is better than front tires off, I think Adam should've won since overall I think he had a more consistent chase. When Essa messed up he couldn't recover and get close until the inside clip whereas Adam caught up before/on outside zone 2.

    • @Ezra7X

      Probably nothing. The revenue that titan gets off it should be plenty. And if that’s not the case, I’m sure titan gives him dyno time just to have their place on camera.

      @@kxry4679 yeah, idk how much it is to rent just a Dyno but prices for Dyno tuning here range from $500 to $1500, I figure titan makes more than that with the advertisement bringing in more customers. It's a win win
