I understand it's probably a song you like, and that it's intended to make your site and film more edgy and hip, but for advertising's sake (especially when presenting this in front of potential mainstream fans and sponsors) you may want to consider a song that doesn't drop the f-bomb.

[RAM GARAGE]

Sprinter, Toycoma, it's that sort of attitude that has drifting under attack at Altamont, and prevents it from becoming an institution at speedways and road courses across America.

It has nothing to do with "God" (by the way, I'm an agnostic, smartass) and everything to do with asking that participants on the professional level of our sport behave and present themselves professionally. This isn't punk rock, fellas, and giving "the man" the finger doesn't earn you any brownie points. It just means "the man" talks to the other "the mans" and they all decide to give you no sponsorship money.

Hey, drift alliance put out a successful DVD of them basically drifting, drinking, and running around in there tighty whities... and it was good. It didnt really take anything away from there careers later. Drifting isn't really marketed to good ol boy, don't curse in front of your parent types. With that being said, me the potential consumer of any product that a potential sponsor would market by sponsoring them, I have no problem with the F bomb. Even though I didnt hear it (just goes to show how much disregard i have for it) I would probably still buy the product they are trying to sell.

But yea "this isn't punk rock fellas" etc etc etc... thats kind of a bad attitude. Considering most people that drifting is marketed to probably like punk rock or hip hop considering there age. Even though I wouldn't deliberately put music with profanity into my promo vid, I don't think the music genera choice was a bad idea at all. Micheal Schumacher never sold me Marlboro Reds, but I can honestly say Daijiro sold me Rockstar Energy drinks....feel me? Hahaha , I think its funny because I feel someday there going to find out energy drinks are bad for you and slap a surgeon general warning on those also.

no one should have to watch their image or change to try and get sponsors. some sponsors pick up drivers because of their skills and skills alone. while others like the over all look and attitude of the team regardless how good they are overall. Yes, it isn't wise to send proposals out with videos of you drifting that has music in it with f#^$ the police or what ever but you shouldn't hide who you are. This is drifting not american idol.

PS, Altamont is your problem not mine.

[RAM GARAGE]

Well lol RETAKS is one of our main sponsors yet they are the ones that made the vid and choose the music so i dont see what the problem is yet why there is a problem

RETAKS is showing a LifeStyle , if you skate , bmx , snowboard, wakeboard , you would understand our lifestyle . and how we grew up. and we sure did not grow up goodie 2 shoes ,

[crysis]

knock it off. its NoFX. they can drop the f-bomb at babies and grandmums in church.

[Brian]

Anything with NOFX gets my vote.
