New Slide Style!

Chris — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:16:35 +0000

In addition to the new dM site and forum, Andy has been busy sprucing up the Slide Style site as well. It looks damn good. Be sure to check it out. There’s some rad shirts and stickers on there. I would LOVE buy a couple of the decks he’s got on there as well.

Chris — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:35:35 +0000

After several years of being in limbo, the driftMechaniks main website is back up and running; this time in blog form. Currently, dM’s are submitting their first posts which are general introductions. However, Andy posted up a quick pictoral of the dM history and what we’re about. We’ll be posting everything from gossip to stuff your mother would be appauled by. So I highly suggest you check it out and subscribe to the RSS feed. And of course, don’t forget about the forum, which got a major upgrade as well.

DriftMechaniks Don’t Stop

Chris — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 07:20:17 +0000

I could sit here and ramble on for days about this video, but honestly, Andy said it best:

Will Roegge just dropped a bomb on the world. Since November 1st, we’ve been whispering that DMGGMASD was the greatest drift event EVER. Even more-so because nobody except those in attendance knew it happened. We’ve collectively been dropping teasers here and there… but the larger picture has not been seen until now.

A private infield road-course, 25 select invitees, and one creative juggernaut of a videographer combined to make an unforgettable event, and one AMAZING digital short. Not only does Will have an unparalleled eye behind the lens… his artistry and craft shine equally as bright in the editor’s chair. A true testament… that heart makes all the difference.

Thank you, Mr. Roegge… for raising the benchmark, and creating a timeless snap of this epic private day.

Another DMGGMASD teaser video

Chris — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:00:59 +0000

The dmggmasd videos are still trickling in. But this one is a very special one. It was edited by the lovely Miss Lieze. She’s an inspiring designer and video editor. And considering she’s hasn’t been doing it for very long she’s certainly gets two thumbs up from me. Not to mention her video pleased Will Roegge which says a lot. Enjoy.
