Thank you for your viewership! I know a lot of you have been here since the beginning. This channel is going to make some BIG changes as you see an increase in video quality and the type of content coming up. I’ve been documenting the touge scene to show the human side of things as well as continuing with the technical driving. To me, involvement in canyon driver’s / touge culture is a night-to-night thing and I want to share the experience. Next video coming up Wednesday (change of pace). Let me know if you want to see something specific. Tutorials are coming up as requested. Till then, love your day! 🖐️
That's great to hear. Good luck with it. Already this video looked really good. The flashing tire camera was a nice touch to watch when you're already focused on the main camera
Man just subscribed to the channel a few days ago and am hooked like a junkie on crack I've liked every single video on here keep it up this is real togue and I love it man makes me go for a RIP every time after I watch
People call it discipline but in my opinion it's skill. If you can't go fast respecting your lane your are just unskilled. I get that by cutting the lane you can go faster but it's unsafe and un-necessary.
I love my nb but god damn I have so much trouble learning how to heel toe. Great vid, can't wakt for summer here so I can enjoy driving it even more. And even take it to the Nürburgring.
Hey Ridge Chaser, you should see if you live anywhere near Sushpants. I’m not sure what part or “mexico” you guys race at but the roads seem very similar. I would love to see that, Sushpants likes his Initial D and Eurobeat and has a rivalry with an EG Hatch. He had an 80’s Toyota FX16 GT-S that’s been 20v swapped that screams and he’s still tweaking the suspension. Watch his videos if you haven’t! And I’d love to see you two on the canyons
Yes I have seen his videos! I am not close enough to make consistent content with him, but it may be possible to film a few videos during a trip. I'll leave him a message. Perhaps you could leave him a comment to grab his attention 😇
You never like your voice on camera? Oh that's a shame. video was great, good fun and the commentary was even better! Keep it up man and be safe out there :)
I know this is an old video, but I figured I'd ask anyway. 1) Did this car have manual/depowered steering? If not, have you ever driven a Miata with manual steering? I'd love to know your thoughts 2) What are the specs of those Kosei K1s, are they the 15x7 +25?
I tried driving my wifes miata and sent myself off the road (I think the tires are hard / econ and old to boot.) I could drive somewhat similar to this (Probably not as well) if it were my saturn tho lmao. Your vids are sick, and and your feet quick.
If it's an automatic car, I always left-foot brake. On roads / manual cars that I am familiar with, I left-foot brake on corners that do not require downshifting before entry. I think Speed Saint does the same thing due to the karting background but not in this case 🤘
@@myyotube8497 I agree that anybody can do it, if they spend the time practicing. He definitely is leaving a lot on the table for braking, and he's not taking a full racing set (balancing the car front to rear, using full scrub). But in my experience, it takes people a while to get to this level. If he was taking a full racing set, he'd be leaving very little margin for error, since it looks like he doesn't know the road. But yeah with a little practice it's very attainable, and compared to true 10/10ths driving it's not requiring that same precision.
nice video with all the angles and nice driving but as you said, too much shifting especially if it's a VVT i look forward to the new changes and more vids
This video was just amazing!! I have to ask, how does the nb compare to the na driving wise?? i know the nb has a bit more extra hp and probably torque but on the handling side of thins how much of a difference do you think there is?? Because honestly they both look like so much fun to drive!! :))
Nice vid man! By any chance thou, do you know what kind of brake pads you’re using on the NB? I only ask cause my brakes are always heating up like ass up there.
Hey I know this video is a few years old but may I ask how tall you are? Thinking about picking up a nb for myself but I’m 6’ and afraid I might be too tall haha
@Ridge Chaser I would like to ask You if the way you push the pedals are for some technical part or just it is your way to keep your up your flow? I mean sometimes you rotate your foots while pushing rhe pedals. Dont get me wrong, i am just curious that what purpose these movements serve. I am just getting close to my driving license and i hope i will be as good as you one day
I'm scared to left foot brake with my Miata, it doesn't have abs or traction control so if I lock up the front wheels I am fucked. Also I feel like left foot braking works better with awd or fwd especially with a turbo
@@Chimera6297 no worries at first try it in safe places like track :), I have same environment in my car, it tooked a while, but abs would destroy whole fun :D
@@FluffySinon yeah I used to do it in my VW GTI and it'd help with the exit speed in the corners, but I just bought the Miata so I'm still getting used to it, as it is a totally different car. No traction control or abs is pretty scary, I've already locked up the front wheels a few times haha. I do like not having traction control tho, it's pretty fun but with my car I'm really on my own, no fancy computers to help me out with the handling. I came very close to hitting a curb too lmao
That camera was just disgusting seeing how far from the edge you had to be on some rights. Any cyclists reading this, I hope you're frickin' proud of yourselves.
Please lower your camera position such that viewers can see through the windscreen at driver's Eye level. I find the sun visor very irritating while I want to see the view in front.
With Miata's we try to do the best we can. Any lower and the camera would be right in front of the driver's eyes, which they need to see. The car has a lower seat since this video which will help out in the future
Nah it's more complicated than that. Try going downhill at 80mph approaching a fast corner and you have to make sharp radius turns at 50-60mph maintenance speed. Your hearts literally feels like its gonna fly out of your chest and every small braking mistake can mean losing traction of the vehicle and flying into a wall even with traction control on. It's not just about drifting anymore. It's about the tenacity to be in the face of so much imminent dangers. Majority of sports car owners can't handle it so they take to the public highways and try to race passenger cars. And better yet. Anyone with a car can do this. You don't need a sports car. You dont need a beefy car to get 90mph going downhill. But you do need good timing and wheels. And brakes.

Shout out to the drivers lane discipline
People call it discipline but in my opinion it's skill.
If you can't go fast respecting your lane your are just unskilled.
I get that by cutting the lane you can go faster but it's unsafe and un-necessary.
The red square around the "important moment camera" is a good idea! Really nice driving Thanks
Did not expect to find a DCS guy here, of all places.
@@JETZcorp the need, the need for speed man !
Tiens tiens, qu’est ce que tu fais là toi ??? 😁😁😁
ah yes, i'll make sure not to perform a downhill touge at home
Ahh yes, I'm glad he told us not too. I would have driven my 86 into my living room.
3:20 is when the driving and footwork are ridiculous!!! Revmatching and good read on the road…. Definitely a pleasure seeing this person drive
Finally a video where you drive a manual transmission car also keep up with the channel and the great videos
Yup it will soon be the norm!
Yup it will soon be the norm!
holy shit private that you
The jumps on the road are maybe a bit too much for my liking :S They look really dangerous at higher speeds.
Driving is great though!
Those bumps can really kill the dampers if taken at the wrong speed or angle!
It never really occurred to me that America had roads like this to suit a car like an MX5 so well. Great bit of driving mate
My favorite videos are the ones about the corner of the windshield. So good.
Jealous of how few houses were along this masterpiece road. Still on the hunt for something like that here
I was waiting for Eurobeat intensifies...
I love my nb but god damn I have so much trouble learning how to heel toe. Great vid, can't wakt for summer here so I can enjoy driving it even more. And even take it to the Nürburgring.
You have access to a great learning environment in that case, you'll get it in no time 💛
Awesome quality of content. Great driving aswell !
Thank you!!

this video deserves more view
the best video i've ever seen. every single moment like hell-toe is incredible, a pure driver video. and i love miata :)
A man of koseis as well
Shoutout to Craigslist 🤘
Been binging this channel recently. Niche content i didnt know i needed.
You never like your voice on camera? Oh that's a shame. video was great, good fun and the commentary was even better! Keep it up man and be safe out there :)
crazy good driving
Footwork is so controlled! Car looks dialed!
this is my local so it is cool seeing some footage of other people driving it
I know this is an old video, but I figured I'd ask anyway.
1) Did this car have manual/depowered steering? If not, have you ever driven a Miata with manual steering? I'd love to know your thoughts
2) What are the specs of those Kosei K1s, are they the 15x7 +25?
I have a 94 eunos with a manual rack its way better imo
@@lockenessmotorsports818 Would you say it's dailyable? Also what are your wheel specs?
I really want to depower my rack
I tried driving my wifes miata and sent myself off the road (I think the tires are hard / econ and old to boot.) I could drive somewhat similar to this (Probably not as well) if it were my saturn tho lmao. Your vids are sick, and and your feet quick.
Great driving mate
The new set up is awesome! That was a great run. Do you ever experiment with left foot braking?
If it's an automatic car, I always left-foot brake. On roads / manual cars that I am familiar with, I left-foot brake on corners that do not require downshifting before entry. I think Speed Saint does the same thing due to the karting background but not in this case 🤘
Yay new vid!
Yay!
I like the vibez 😂👍
Thank you!! 👍
Great footwork greater balls... got my BPM going
Very nice driving. I wish I had a hill that nice close by
The multi camera set up is amazing! How long have you been driving togues?
Anyone can drive like this, there is not much skill needed.
It’s just fun.

I have been canyon driving since 2012; Speed Saint since around 2016 🤘
damn bro i bet you could drive away REAL quick after nailing a bicyclist
my car is too damn low for a few of the bumps on Sarah road unfortunately. speed saint is so damn talented wtf
Isn't that little info blurb for the NB Miata supposed to say 140 HP instead of 140 lbs?
Yessir good catch!
this is almost pornographic driving, not gonna try this at home though
The slowest slow bois, on the slowhill
Lol what u doing tho
nice video with all the angles and nice driving but as you said, too much shifting especially if it's a VVT
i look forward to the new changes and more vids
Thank you for your viewership! The 6-speed NB calls for a lot of shifting but at least it lets you stay in powerband
Damn cool channel, Its like American grassroots Hot Version hahaha! :D
nice! i guess i need new shoes lol mine are too big for my nb
This video was just amazing!! I have to ask, how does the nb compare to the na driving wise?? i know the nb has a bit more extra hp and probably torque but on the handling side of thins how much of a difference do you think there is?? Because honestly they both look like so much fun to drive!! :))
daytime heading toward the city side of that road, you cray. not worth the risk
What exactly is the risk factor there? Just like any type of driving you have to allocate a margin of error.
@@RidgeChaser thanks for the wisdom, carry on best driver in the bay
is this mt hamilton?
Just don't cross the double yellow and you'll be fine. I only cross the double yellow at night and only around corners where I can see the exit
Only you guys would pull a G in corners midday and act like it's normal haha
It is normal! As long as it is safe 🤘
Does anyone know what the music track is called in the beginning of this video? I know it is from Initial D so that is why I am wondering.
I try this at home all the time🙃 Grizzly Lonestars FYB💪🏾😤
Nice, he looked quick.
UA-cam saw me watching this and gave me a jesus ad lol it is scared for me
after watching videos with foot cams i find i heel toe really weirdly, i actually use my heel rather than the right side of my foot
Let me ask this question. If I want to buy a Miata NB, where should I look for rust when inspecting the car?
for someone wondering what song is playing in the background, this is it :)

Nice vid man! By any chance thou, do you know what kind of brake pads you’re using on the NB? I only ask cause my brakes are always heating up like ass up there.
Nice driving! Down hill is not easy
Nice camera angle ....
Thanks!
Oh shit, you live in the NFS Underground 2 universe...!!
initial Pauly D is a great driver.
Your car sounds excellent. Do you have any engine mods?
No engine mods in this Miata!
how did you do your foot cam set up?
I use the same shoes 🤌🏽🤌🏽 a man of comfort
Wat kind of shoes are they?

Hey I know this video is a few years old but may I ask how tall you are? Thinking about picking up a nb for myself but I’m 6’ and afraid I might be too tall haha
Driver is 5ft 11 I think. We have a few 6' people drive Miatas and it is not too bad. You can always get seat modifications to accomodate yourself.

it's a technique called "heel-toe downshift"

in few corners you could go faster (left foot braking)

This is the HD Texture Pack
It's you. It's a road. Calm down.
Good driving! I know where exactly that is LOL. What tires are those?
sDrives ! Size is in description 🤘
That camera was just disgusting seeing how far from the edge you had to be on some rights. Any cyclists reading this, I hope you're frickin' proud of yourselves.
Semis? How much km can you put on them?
Depends on what purpose you are using the tires. Can be between 3000 and 130000.
Please lower your camera position such that viewers can see through the windscreen at driver's Eye level. I find the sun visor very irritating while I want to see the view in front.

Just Miata things
Check engine light.... Bruh
now do it uphill haha

Word of advice. You should work better on that left foot braking. 👀

might wanna ask ur mom for permission before going on the internet as most sites warn you. lol

lameass comeback lol stfu and comeback when u hav permission to be on here lol
