5.0 out of 5 stars Great Show!, April 29, 2004

This review is from: Pure Drifting - The Story of Drifting In America (DVD)

I can't believe it. An import car motor sport DVD that's really about import car motor sports. I've seen other DVDs on drifting and import car racing, but they're more into "T&A" than the actual sport. Pure Drifting is like a real "TV" documentary that really tells all about the American drifting scene. The whole thing is great. The drifting shots, the interviews with drivers, everything is really well done.
This isn't a wannabe Fast & Furious/Girls Gone Wild thing, so if that's what you're looking for, this probably isn't for you. BUT, if you're really interested in drifting and what it's all about, this is it. Pure Drifting is great.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Pure Drifting - The Story of Drifting In America (DVD)

if you wanna drift or you already do, then you must buy this DVD!!!!!All this is, is a documentary on the newest motorsport called drifting, drifting is not just sliding,it is a very entertaining motorsport to watch. There is much more to it on this DVD. And no it is not one of those Racing DVDs where they street race and go to nightclubs, it's Way better than those types of Racing DVDs! Go to PureDrifting.com

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Drifting DVD I've ever seen!, June 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Pure Drifting - The Story of Drifting In America (DVD)

I'd say this DVD is really timeless. Its not a video magazine like so many other car dvds i've seen. This is a real documentary and tells the whole story on drifting all the way from Japan to the USA. pretty cool stuff. The whole show is very high quality and polished. the graphics are sweet! where's the next one?
