Time for Tea? Car vs bike drift battle

Enjoy a spot of tongue-in-cheek cops-and-robbers skiddy antics

---

Today's TfT has been around for quite a while but, having followed the YouTube link sent to us by PHer jdizl, we were reminded how mesmeric the car-vs-bike drift antics of Team Icon are.

We also particularly enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek production, following the work of a fake cop (motto: to swerve and protect) with a drift-spec Mustang as he chases a pair of drifting bikers around the rather fun-looking Oregon Raceway Park.

"Have you ever seen the movie Die Hard?" He says at the end, having finally 'caught' the drifting Team Icon bikers. "Pretty much every day of my life is like that..."

All good fun, though if you stick around until 8mins 03sec you'll see the shoot didn't pass without incident - Officer Dan misjudging a corner in his own 240SX drift car post-filming and taking quite a hit as a result...

Hahahaha, Loved that!
First time I've seen road bikes drifted like that! (are those speed triples?).
Looks like a lot of fun!....

[AbarthChris]

That is properly brilliant!

[bob1179]

Nice, I enjoyed that.

Good to see some Trumpety goodness being used too.

[Garlick]

Love the soundtrack to this video, looked p the artist and it's really heavy stuff.

Oh and 'how fast can you go in that thing?'....'as fast as I want'

[soad]

To swerve and protect.

Cracking video, that bloke who crashed at the end is a lucky bugger to be able to poke his head out of a rolling car and come away without a neck injury.

[SR]

Superb! I'd love to drive that road too, the surface looks like it was laid for the video.

[traffman]

Now thats what a go pro is for!

Loved that .....very entertaining!

[lexusboy]

with regards to the crash - did he hit his head during the roll at any point? Looks like he did to me

[BBS-LM]

Great vid

Long time lurker for a 1st post!

I liked the helmets so much, I bought one

[Nikolai]

That was awesome. The slo-mo bit gave me a car boner

Been doing the rounds for a while - but my most favourite Youtube video for a while now!

Great video, but presumably the mods will lock this thread shortly with a note pointing out that it should be in the YouTube thread...?
