  • Night mobbing through town in a bunch of party cars with Larry Chen behind the lens. Does it get any better? Many years ago, Larry had a photoshoot just like this one, so he came back to re-visit all the old spots, but with Ryan Litteral, some new friends and way better cameras.

    • @freshprinceofdarkness
      @freshprinceofdarkness 4 роки тому

      Rich Kastler that’s not true at all. Risky devil came in way late, like 2008. Proceed used to be grip gambler and then there was Velocity racing out of Indianapolis. That was in like 1999. That’s where drifting started in the Midwest. And save for a few crews out west, they were pretty much the pioneers of US drifting.

    • @rk.0423

    Best part about this was Larry’s outlook on the evening all throughout. Obviously everyone had a lot of fun, but Larry was really seeing it through the widest aperture and possibly the “biggest picture” perspective, looking at it from years ago and for years to come all at once. More than just another night of hooning, but as a remake of an old memory that’ll last for the rest of their lives. Awesome shit!
