Hey greenery, who's the dog?
Yo, what's going on everybody?
Hope you guys are doing good out there.
You're about to watch the first ever 144VM.
It's a video montage series put together presented by BC Coil Lovers.
We're going to mesh some skateboarding and some drifting.
Pretty much just have a good time.
Here's what you can expect in the first episode.
First up, let's skate over a pro drift car.
Next, Falcon Tire comes to Texas where we really get to put skating and drifting together.
After that, we head to Austin, Texas to hang out with Formula Drift at South by Southwest.
Now, we're going to go to Austin, Texas to hang out with Formula Drift at South by Southwest.

Skating over the car, it was just an idea.
It was actually right before winter really hit.
It was November 30th on a Sunday on my birthday.
I mean, I've always been like, man, I want to do something with my car in skateboarding ever since I was young.
So we needed to connect that somehow.
It raised some awareness with my sponsors.
Falcon Tires, they really acted on it.
They sent out their marketing dudes, Kale and Kale's buddy Andre, that came out to Texas to just get familiar with my program
and just pretty much sit down with me and have some conversation about where I'm at and where I'm going
and did some interview stuff.
But yeah, dude, and then they got to show me this deck with my car on it, which was a big surprise
and really cool for my family and all my friends to see.
It's just cool to kind of get those small rewards.
Nowadays, everyone's printing stuff on decks, but it's really cool to see it when it's your car
and your program and your sponsors that you're making proud.
We had the opportunity to actually skate it.
We set out on a sunny day in Texas and we whipped out our S13 with a custom 144 skate bar up front.
Our buddy Adam Green helped us fabricate that up.
We blended it and it was skatable and we were just skating the front of an S13.
So obviously, we're going for skating and drifting, so it just was only right to take the car out and sun down
and we shot some sunset stuff by skating around and do a little burnout session
at the O.K.L. and the Falcon News where we usually play around at in Texas.
So be on the lookout for that footage.
Obviously, you didn't see it here, but it's right around the corner
and it'll be cool to see them release their footage
and just thanks for everyone coming out and making that happen for us.
So after Falcon came and we got to skate for them and have a good time,
we got a phone call from Ryan Sage and Formula Drift.
They asked me to come down to South by Southwest,
so pretty much we just packed up and took the demo car down there.
I basically got the team already and we headed out Friday.
The event was on Sunday, so that was my fault for pretty much getting us out there a day early.
They didn't know, but secretly, they got us to some skate parks, which was the plan.
So it even gave us time to stop by Josh McGuire's shop.
He's on the way to Austin.
Yeah, so we were able to go down to the bungalow and Formula Drift took care of us.
They gave us tacos and beers and food.
I mean, we're just enjoying life and we're just here doing it and hanging out.
I can't hide it, I can't leave it.
I can't leave it.
Dude, 2015, welcome, welcome.
Dude, it's so rad, man.
I just feel blessed, you know.
Yo, it's not even Long Beach yet.
The car's off at Anjuku right now.
Last touches to that thing.
Next Wednesday, we're headed to take a road trip to Florida.
Basically, we're going out there for some testing.
So that's going to be huge, man.
I get to jump in a 900 horsepower, 408 LS, single turbo.
Never driven something like that before.
But I'm up for the challenge, man.
144 motorsports, man.
We've been focused.
We've been ready.
We've been training.
We've been thinking about drifting since Earl Wendell 2014.
I'm pumped, man.
I'm pumped to be here.
I'm pumped to be alive.
I'm pumped to have a cool crew.
All the people involved in our program, man, they're coming through.
And we're just going to lay down some laps in Formula Drifting.
We're going to kill it, man.
We're excited.
