Desert Drifters

I need to get a high speed video camera! I am going to ask the guys if I could be in the next video maybe with the Wrangler taking a few jumps or something. [YouTube]

    you do know that you can slow down any video right ??

    do you know that regular video is recorded and played at 24 frames a second? High speed cameras can hit 1000 frames a second so when its played back at the regular 24fps speed its not only slow but it captures a lot of infromation and detail. The video above could not be replicated with a regular 24fps camera.

    Kuwait really needs a race track.
    Never heard about a 1000 frames, the max I know is 120 (some mobiles have that.)

  12. 12. Mark | May 14th, 2009 at 4:09 pm

    this video isnt about the drifting skills

    ive never hear of a race track in kuwait, where is it?
    they need to advertise it more so people who are doing all their tricks on the high ways could have somewhere to play without putting other peoples lives in danger. and it would be fun to go watch competitions if they had any

    oh and the video quality pretty sick! :)
