YOU’RE DOING IT SORT OF WRONG: Stop, Hammertime!

Wall 1, Car 0, Me 1.

When I at Ebisu Circuit the other day with Vaughn Gittin Jr and the video crew, I took the Skyline out every now and again for a few laps when there was nothing to shoot.

There were these lads on the school course doing this…

…so I decided to have a go as well. It was going pretty well, with everyone along the wall cheering as I skimmed the wall until I thought “I should give it a little kiss just for fun.”

Much like what happens when you give someone an uninvited kiss though, the Skyline came away with a black eye.

The funny thing is that I did about thirty laps of Kita Course that morning (the same place that the Fairlady rollover crash happened) and didn’t even come remotely close to crashing, even when I spun a few times at the top of third gear.

    Auch…
    I already wondered what would happen if you just kissed the wall gently many times, but I think I just got the answer!

    Haha, it happens to all lucky you did not write yours off like i did mine on Minami. It an evil place that will attack at anytime with no warning. Cool clip nice and close but i simply hate that course, all it does is damage cars and make my JZX90 look like a monster truck on a RC Circuit.

    Did you get to run Minami at all? Throwing down 3rd on it yet? When i seen ya you will playing around in 2nd cause i think you only had just got the car. Also hows the whole speedhunters thing going? Seems like you have really hit the nail on head and are going forward in a great direction.

  • SoSideways says:

    Um.

    Yeah.

    That’s pretty sick dude.

  • Isidro says:

    Well, you cant practice and improve without feeling the burn.
    Keep trying to scrape the wall like that, and keep hitting it while practicing. After a few days of wall scraping you’ll be really good at it just like the guys from Team Burst, well almost as good =/

  • Ruiz XIII says:

    Oh well
    Car sounds cool though!

    That’s pretty insane.

    It’s bound to happen though right!
    At least you didn’t crash the whole bloody thing.

  • Streeter says:

    ouch… yeah fine line between touching the wall and hitting the wall LOL if its any consolation it gets easier to bash out after about the 3rd or 4th time :p
