8
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: after the white knuckle grip rates down it, I catch

9
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: my breath as the cars fly off again into the darkness.

10
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: My adrenaline is peaked and probably will be for some time.

11
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: One of the cross racing lads currently hanging out at

12
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: the side of the road laughs and puts his thumb

13
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: up a grin and put my thumb up too. This

14
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: lad goes by the nickname Lil Noisy. He's tall, skinny,

15
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: and wearing a set of thick black glasses through the

16
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: ice lot in his battle claver. He comes over to

17
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: me and starts to chat with the help of our

18
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: friends who's translating.

19
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: We have a long history. Everyone gets on everyone's cars

20
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: of Chris and I think it's a very cool team.

21
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: We're number one.

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 2: What is it you love about the street racing here?

23
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: Obviously it's very illegal, but you guys are all doing

24
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: it all the time.

25
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: I think it's fine so long as we don't get caught.

26
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: It's fun to race with everyone.

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: In Japan, life is quite conservative. People follow the rules.

28
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: You guys obviously break the rules all the time. How

29
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: do you think your average person in Japan sees you

30
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: guys street racers?

31
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: What anything to you?

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's a nuisance. It's probably annoying.

33
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: They find it annoying.

34
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: The police are cracking down quite hard on a street racing.

35
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: Are you not worried you might get into trouble since

36
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: the prison have your car taken? You're not scared?

37
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: Well, there is some worry, but having fun is more important.

38
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: We run away. That's it, We run away.

39
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: Can you describe what it feels like when you're racing?

40
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: How does it feel to you inside?

41
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: It's exciting. I just get so excited.

42
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: It feels so good to be in a place where

43
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: you are totally unable to think about anything else.

44
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 3: You're so excited you can't think of anything else.

45
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 1: Kids these days don't go out, so they don't really

46
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: care about cars. Most kids think as long as it drives,

47
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: anything is fine. I want the world to know more

48
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: about Japanese cars, and I want the Civics B type

49
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: engine to become more popular than turbos. They look bad,

50
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: but the moment the v tech kicks in, it feels

51
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: so good. It feels like I'm high. That's why I

52
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: love Civics.

53
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 3: I hate turbos.

54
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: Though.

55
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: After this, little Noisy goes on to explain why he

56
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: loves Honda Civic so much for about another ten minutes.

57
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: If there's one thing we've learned for sure on this trip,

58
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: it's that these lots absolutely live and breathe cards. Now,

59
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: as I've explained in previous parts of this podcast, I

60
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: strip it down to keep the narrative easy to follow,

61
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: so therefore I only give my own perspective. Remember, though

62
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: Away Days is a documentary series first and foremost, whilst

63
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: I was in Japan, I was of course not alone.

64
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: Me and my team were filming this whole thing. So

65
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: I want to give some time to my very dear

66
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: friend and creative partner, Johnny Pickup. He was there filming

67
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: all of this as I was praying for my life

68
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: in the front of these hundred Civics. To give him

69
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: his full Jews here is a short bio. Johnny Pickup

Speaker 2: signature that Way Days is known for. Needless to say,

83
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: Johnny is very good at what he does. He's also

84
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: a really really good guy. Let's hear it from him.

85
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: Had you ever heard of like the Japanese street racing

86
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: scene or any of that before we did this film?

87
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: Not really like obviously from popular culture like Fast and

88
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: Furious you have, like you know, not that I really

89
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 4: watched those films anything, but they're still mainstream.

90
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 5: You know, maybe they gets put out about those.

91
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 4: Kind of racing stories, but no specifics about like the

92
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: kan joe specifically or toga. Like that was completely new

93
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: when you said that to me, and especially the cultural

94
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 4: bits that come along with that, like the style and

95
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: ethos of the races, that was completely new.

96
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: What was your first impressions of them, Like when we

97
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: first met, like some of the lads there with the cars,

98
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: what did you what did you think?

99
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: Like what kind of struck you?

100
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: I think what really struck me was mainly the attitude

101
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 4: of the drivers and that culture, because you could tell

102
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 4: that it was really out the realms of the ordinary.

103
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: I think when people engage in that kind of thing

104
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: in the UK or Europe, like it's slightly more accepted.

105
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: I think in Japan you're really an outsider if you're

106
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 4: doing that kind of stuff, Like it's really not accepted,

107
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 4: and these guys are doing something that carries a risk,

108
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 4: you know in terms of the law, but also like

109
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 4: cultural risk as well that you might be looked down

110
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: upon or you know, not accepted socially. So yeah, that

111
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 4: was like super interesting. That came across to me straight away.

112
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 4: I mean, as soon as we start getting in cars

113
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: and like being around them properly, the speed at which

114
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 4: we were traveling was suddenly like pretty mind blowing. I

115
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: mean I was like I was like when we first

116
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: even like getting like when I think we we took

117
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 4: a ride, didn't we, And it was like not even

118
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 4: like properly like racing the Caanjo, but it was like

119
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: we're just gonna go on the Caanjo and me and

120
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: you were like, holy fuck, look at each other, like

121
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 4: this is serious, and it was nothing comparatible we're about

122
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: to happen, but we were already like you know, checking

123
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 4: we're strapped in properly like raising eyeb I was like,

124
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: holy shit, like what's going on?

125
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 5: And it felt like ridiculous, like just off the bat us.

126
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that first time when it was like, Okay,

127
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: we're just gonna go here, and it's like, oh, we're

128
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: on the loop now, and then all of a sudden,

129
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: it's like one hundred miles an hour and that guy

130
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: was like.

131
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: Texting at the same time. I was like, oh, we're

132
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: gonna die. Like it was terrifying.

133
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: Also, like the exhausts, like the sound that the cars

134
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: make is just insane, isn't it.

135
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 5: It's just like it just goes through you.

136
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 4: And I think even whatever speed you're at feels like

137
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: tice as fast because you've just got this ridiculous rattle

138
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 4: coming from the exhaust.

139
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 6: Wo yeah.

140
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: Do you know what though? Something really weird?

141
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: So like normally, like say I'm about just at home

142
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: in England or whatever, and I hear someone tear down

143
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: the road that it like actually drives me mental, like

144
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: it pisces me off, but but I don't know what

145
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: it was like halfway through, I was like desperate to

146
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: hear it again, like I wanted to feel it.

147
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: Like every trip we talk, I was like, yeah, I

148
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: loved it. When the VTech kicked in. Do you know

149
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 3: what I mean?

150
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 5: Yeah? Is addictive?

151
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: Is that it's a weird Yeah? Did you did you

152
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 3: feel that as well? Almost like surprised I was that

153
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 3: I'd ever think.

154
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 5: That, Yeah, for sure, And I think, like.

155
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 4: I both have sworn I would never get in one

156
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: of those cars again, and at the same time secretly

157
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: would love the opportunity because it's just like I mean,

158
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 4: it was and it was a serious adrenalin rush, like

159
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 4: it was everything about it and it hit all of

160
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 4: your senses, like you know you were you were overloading

161
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 4: every sense that you have in your body.

162
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 5: It was just all like on.

163
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: Overdrive and it felt it felt ridiculous and you got

164
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: out of the car and like that adrenaline s fight

165
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 4: was like something else, I mean, not really comparable to

166
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: anything else I've done.

167
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 5: It was really unique in that way.

168
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: No, it's same, like even like war or it was

169
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: a very specific adrenaline rush. It was like, I don't know,

170
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 2: I think the like man in Machine vibe was just like,

171
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's something completely different.

172
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: It really made me feel like I don't know.

173
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: I don't want to say like I I understood it

174
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: fully because I just I couldn't. I would be so

175
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: scared to drive like that myself all the time. But

176
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: very quickly I saw the appeal of it.

177
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: Did you do you think that? Yeah, Like I get

178
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 3: why people would do that.

179
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 4: I'm not like a carn in any way. And it's

180
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 4: the only time in my life I've been like, oh,

181
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 4: I kind of get how your life could become that.

182
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like if you're a teenager there you'd be like

183
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: I think I want it civic now, and I think

184
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: I want to do this because ultimately, like it's like

185
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: we were saying the whole time, Like you made a

186
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: good point to start, Like Japanese culture it really does

187
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: not accept or favor outlaws or bandits in any way,

188
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean?

189
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 4: And you could really become a social prior as well,

190
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: Like people could really ostracize you for that as well.

191
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was what was the most challenging part for you,

192
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: like trying to film.

193
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: The racing and everything.

194
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 5: Easy question.

195
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 4: It was very difficult with and I think you would

196
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 4: agree with this in a way that Japanese people are

197
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 4: quite guarded and shy I think when it comes to

198
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 4: especially being on camera and especially.

199
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 5: When it's like a secretive world.

200
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 4: And I think we both had moments of trying our

201
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 4: best to get them to engage past one word answers.

202
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 4: And that's just like I think that's just something that comes.

203
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: If we went back and we were the same people,

204
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 4: I bet you would be easier. It's just maybe requires

205
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 4: more time on the ground or whatever. But they it

206
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 4: was quite tricky to get them to speak openly and.

207
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 5: Without embarrassment I think about what they were doing.

208
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that was a big part of it for me.

209
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: It was difficult because it's like you're going into this

210
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 2: kind of underworld, but actually they're just mostly shy about it,

211
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: which I didn't expect.

212
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: And that's a lot of the other people that we

213
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 4: go and film with, right, Like a lot of the

214
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: times these people have like a bit of an ego

215
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 4: trip and it's like that you can't stop them, like

216
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: they just you can't stop them talking about themselves or

217
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: what they're doing, And with these guys it was the opposite.

218
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think apart from I think from a

219
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 4: shooting perspective, like it's quite a tricky story to cover

220
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 4: in a few ways. Because one, everything took place at night,

221
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 4: so just from like it's like straight away, just from

222
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 4: like an exposure point of view, everything you're shooting is

223
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 4: like you're you're struggling for light the whole time. And

224
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 4: number two, like you're shooting in the back of like

225
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: a stripped out car that's going ridiculously fast and swerving,

226
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: and like to get any kind of camera control requires

227
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 4: hands of steel.

228
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 5: I mean, it was like it was pretty hard from

229
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 5: that point of view as well.

230
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was trying to explain to a friend the

231
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: other day about the rigs that we had in there,

232
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 2: like you had like lorry straps you had, you had

233
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: the tripod somehow in the back. Can you maybe just

234
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: go into a little bit of that, because I couldn't

235
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: even really fully explain all those kind of technical things

236
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: that you did to make it work.

237
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 3: I mean, I say technical. It was like Jerry rigged,

238
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: but it worked.

239
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, shit, riggs is what you call it.

240
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

241
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 5: It was like making the best of of the situation.

242
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 4: So, like we obviously put like GoPros on the side

243
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 4: of the veguan and within so we already had like

244
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: a few angles covered, especially with the togn which was

245
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 4: more like set up we could rig a car way

246
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 4: more than when we were doing the kanjo, but.

247
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 5: With the toget like, so we set at the goprost,

248
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 5: we had.

249
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 4: A few angles, and then I was like, I would

250
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: love to be able to get like a shot from

251
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 4: the interior looking forwards and rig a camera at a

252
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 4: certain viewpoint. And in order to do that, I decided

253
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 4: to strap the tripod down onto the to the cage

254
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 4: of the car and secure it with these with these straps, yeah,

255
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 4: that you could tighten right up, and it got really

256
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 4: actually we managed to get into a really good position,

257
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 4: didn't We and then just fix the camera onto the

258
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 4: tripod and it created a fantastic like camera angle.

259
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 5: It was really cool.

260
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 4: It was like, I think we had our widest lens

261
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 4: on there was like an eighteen mil and just locked

262
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 4: off on that tripod and then just went through it.

263
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 4: And because of the way that it was rigged, it

264
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 4: moved with the car, so if the car went up

265
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: a little bit, it came went up a little bit,

266
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 4: and that created quite an unusual, quite unusual footage. Didn't

267
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 4: It felt felt very immersive and fast, and I think

268
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 4: more so than the other like handheld stuff.

269
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 5: It was really cool.

270
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: Actually, No, definitely agree, And I think like for anyone listening,

271
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: they'll see it on our YouTube when the dot comes out.

272
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: But basically it was shooting out the front but from

273
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: the back right, so it was like you can see

274
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: my head, you can see the driver's head. But I

275
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: think the shake is what actually made it work, if

276
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: that makes sense. For some reason with filmmaking, it kind

277
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: of hard to show how fast something is actually going right,

278
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: and like the shake kind of made it work.

279
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's like the classic thing also, like you

280
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 4: know slow motion for example, as soon as you're filming

281
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 4: a car, slow motion is like the worst thing ever.

282
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 4: Just it doesn't suddenly it just doesn't look it doesn't

283
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: look great. It just looks just looks like very slow

284
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 4: and boring. You want to be able to have a

285
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 4: little bit of shake, a little bit of speed. You

286
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 4: want to be able to communicate like that level of Yeah,

287
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 4: just pure speed and violence, like going down the work road.

288
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 4: I mean literally the car is like going at a

289
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 4: ridiculous speed down a mountain pass, and like you don't

290
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 4: want so much and you don't want like really controlled footage.

291
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 5: You want something that's going to convey that. You know.

292
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely in terms of like the cars themselves, Like

293
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: what did you make of that?

294
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: For me? I just couldn't quite believe how much they'd

295
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: taken it apart.

296
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was quite crazy on the way to that toga,

297
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: Like we were in different cars, whonn't we? And I

298
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 4: was like in with this other lad and he had

299
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 4: it literally bare bones, like bare bare bones, Like even

300
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 4: the gearstick was just like straight metal pole.

301
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 5: There was nothing even on top. It was like just

302
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 5: there and this, I mean it just felt unreal.

303
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 4: I was like, surely you need more in this than

304
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 4: like basically a seat rollcageing gearstick, and steering wheel like

305
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 4: that was respectively. It even like the speedometer like didn't

306
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: have like a plastic it was just like open.

307
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: Any difference, but that's great, like just in case it's

308
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: like a feather's weight. Fucking I the guy I was,

309
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: it didn't There was no panels on the door, so

310
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: the door handle was just like a wire like it was.

311
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: It was absolutely mental, like all the backseats ripped out

312
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: like everything. What was there anything that kind of like

313
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: surprised you maybe you didn't expect from these people.

314
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 5: I think like.

315
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 4: Often I think it's kind of away touched on, but

316
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 4: like it's kind of like when you go into these

317
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 4: worlds often you get a certain type of person. And

318
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: I just felt like, more so than ever with this story,

319
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 4: the people engaging with it were just so your standard

320
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 4: Joe kind of guy, like just surprisingly so like they

321
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: weren't in any way like trying to be hard or

322
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 4: like gangsters, and they were just like ordinary guys. Like

323
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 4: a lot of them like video games and stuff, and

324
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 4: they were just doing these crazy races but they weren't.

325
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 4: They didn't feel like they didn't fulfill the persona of

326
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 4: like an outlaw as much as some of the other

327
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 4: stories that we've done. They just were ordinary guys and

328
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 4: that was quite surprising. I to it sometimes like super sweet,

329
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 4: like nice guys, like they weren't. There was no ego,

330
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: there was no like trying to trying to be a

331
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: hard guy. They were just just loved racing these cars.

332
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: And yeah, that was quite surprising.

333
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: Yeah that from me as well.

334
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: Like even that like yakuza guy we met was still nice,

335
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 2: you know, like he was a chill guy until he

336
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, vanished. I was almost expecting some

337
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: kind of like petrol head vibe like you maybe have

338
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: in the UK, but literally literally none was like that.

339
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: Even Park Like he was so sweet. I feel like

340
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: he really longed for the days of it, you know

341
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 2: what I mean.

342
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you could tell that was a part of it,

343
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 4: like the history to it was. Everyone really respected that

344
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 4: as well. It was like it was almost like this

345
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: on a code of like respect towards the history of

346
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 4: Kanjo and the people that had done it before them

347
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 4: and stuff like, And that was cool as well.

348
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: What did you make of Japan is your first time there? Right?

349
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 3: Me as well?

350
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, wicked so cool. I mean it was like, you know,

351
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 5: a culture shop, but in the best possible way. It

352
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 5: was like just brilliant. It was like you were discovering

353
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 5: something new on every street corner, a different way of

354
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 5: doing it.

355
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 4: Whether it was like you know, typography, colors, like they

356
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 4: just did everything different.

357
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 5: Like I remember when we first got.

358
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 4: On the Tube, it was like the color system was

359
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 4: just so crazily different to what we would expect in Europe,

360
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 4: and you know, having like little cartoon character chures like

361
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 4: used in signage everywhere, and like it was just, yeah,

362
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 4: it's just so different, isn't it. Like, and that's fun

363
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 4: to walk around and just discover those things. I feel

364
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 4: like often when you travel a lot, that doesn't happen

365
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 4: so much anymore. I remember when I was younger and

366
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 4: I went to India and I found that like a

367
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 4: real culture shock as well. And I think this is

368
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 4: the only other time I've had that where it was like,

369
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 4: oh wow, like this really feels like I'm like I'm

370
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 4: traveling and I'm somewhere far like far from home.

371
00:18:59,160 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 5: It was cool.

372
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.

373
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: I think with the way like everything's so globalized now,

374
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 2: you can see the other side of the world in

375
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: the click of a button. It's almost like you've been

376
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: somewhere before, or even if you haven't. But for me,

377
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: even though I've been looking at Japanese culture and whatever,

378
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: probably my whole life, like being fascinated from very young

379
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: due to like manga and anime and all of that

380
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: kind of cool stuff, it did feel like a completely

381
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: new place to me. And one thing that I just

382
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: couldn't get my head around was like we were in

383
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: kind of like what was like would be considered like

384
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: the hood, but you know that really cheap little spot

385
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: we had. People were saying, that's like a very relatively

386
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: poor area for a saka, but it was absolutely lovely,

387
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: Like no one had to change their bike up, everybody

388
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: said hello, there was no trash on the floor, no,

389
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: nothing like that.

390
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 3: And the thing that got me was like everything worked.

391
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it.

392
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 4: And like we remember like we got on that we

393
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 4: got on the tube for the first time, like literally

394
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 4: it was it was just spotless, like you could eat

395
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 4: it the off. It was that clean and going, you know,

396
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 4: twelve hours before like getting getting off the London Tube

397
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 4: to go to heater, and it's just feel that you

398
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 4: sit down, a cloud of dust comes up, and it's

399
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 4: just such a difference, even on the micro as well

400
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 4: as the macro.

401
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, I think as well, the the kind of

402
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: culture of the bath houses, like we absolutely ended up loving.

403
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: I think they called it the Center right, Like the

404
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: first I was I don't want to go there. It's

405
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: kind of seems a bit weird. Whatever, day one loved it,

406
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: absolutely in love with it. The total difference of like

407
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: bath house culture versus like, you know, extreme speed street racing.

408
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: It kind of said it all for me. Yeah.

409
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 5: Yeah. And they had that wild treatment in there where

410
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 5: you got electrocuted.

411
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: Remember that, that was, mate, I hate that. I was

412
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 3: terrified that. Yeah.

413
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was an old fellow said like, yeah, yeah,

414
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: like going there it's relaxing or something, and it turns

415
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: out it was.

416
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: A fucking electrocution. Man. It was terrifying, and he's laughing

417
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 3: at me. I was like, yeah, thanks, mate, fucking horror.

418
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: What was the point of it?

419
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 5: Relaxed yours? You just got your love and balls absolutely

420
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 5: sucked up.

421
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, like zapped by lightning.

422
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 6: That.

423
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: I hated that, mate, It was horrible. Now, it's a

424
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 2: very weird thing. The strange bit for me though as well.

425
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 2: When we went to like was it Kyoto for the

426
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: day and like everyone it was just American like irl streamers. Yeah,

427
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: it was just weird, very strange culture. Plus there definitely.

428
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 3: One thing.

429
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if you felt this, like, but when

430
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 2: I when I got home from like our trips, absolutely buzzing. Mate,

431
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: the first time, it sounds like kind of coorney, but

432
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: the first time I got in my car, Mate, I

433
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: was like flying along the motorway back from the thing,

434
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: and I was like, you know, I don't have like

435
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: from v Tech in my car or anything like that,

436
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: but I was absolutely buzzing about a week.

437
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, did you feel anything like that.

438
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 5: Oh, I'll tell you what.

439
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 4: Actually, since we've come back from Japan, the number of

440
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 4: speeding tickets I've got.

441
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 5: Is actually it's actually ridiculous.

442
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's just a coincidence, but maybe

443
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 4: that's the lasting effect the hangover of Japan.

444
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 5: I'm just like thinking that I'm on the Canja.

445
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that says it all.

446
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 6: Man.

447
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: What a trip though? It was great.

448
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 4: It was just like a very very unique trip and experience,

449
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 4: and I think like it's definitely stayed with me like

450
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 4: maybe not racing the car, but like just I think

451
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 4: about it a lot because and then if people ask me, like, oh,

452
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 4: what's one trip that you you know you really enjoyed

453
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 4: it was really cool for you?

454
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 5: That one I definitely mentioned because it's like it.

455
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 4: Is, it was sorry, just very unique in the way

456
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 4: that I experienced it, Like it definitely has stayed with me.

457
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 2: Just lastly, like, what what did you feel when we

458
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 2: went up that mountain past and we're like halfway up

459
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: there and they're like, yeah, we're going to go now

460
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: what what were you feeling when you were in the car?

461
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 5: Oh?

462
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: Man?

463
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 4: I think when you were a kid and you're first

464
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 4: like going a roller coaster, like proper roller coaster, and

465
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 4: you don't really know what to expect, but you're like

466
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 4: should I do it?

467
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 5: Shouldn't I do it?

468
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 4: And you end up like getting in the seat with

469
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 4: your older brother or something, and like the seat belt

470
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 4: straps in and you're like, do you know what? Actually

471
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get off, and it's like, no, mate, it's

472
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 4: too late. You're what was hilarious. The funniest thing about

473
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 4: it is like we were like both said to it,

474
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 4: like we were like, okay, we just do one.

475
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 3: We just do one.

476
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 4: And we raced down the mountain and we came and

477
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 4: then we like they turned around at the bottom and

478
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 4: they raised back up and we got back to that like.

479
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 5: Car park and we were I was like, fuck, thank god,

480
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 5: that is over. Like that was and I was like

481
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 5: looking at the drive.

482
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 4: I was like laughing, like, oh that was thanks man,

483
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 4: that was amazing, trying to like just unstrap my belts,

484
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 4: like thank you so much. And he's like no idea

485
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, just laughing and noddy and he's turning

486
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: the car around. I'm like, oh, thanks man, like can't

487
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 4: wait to get out of here. And he starts reading

488
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 4: the engine and they will start lining up and I'm

489
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 4: like no, no, no, and then off again and it's

490
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 4: like lap number two, not asked for.

491
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: But wait, that same thing, the same thing happened to me.

492
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 2: Like we're going back up and I think we did

493
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: what like three or something like that, and I went

494
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 2: back up and again I was like he's gonna stop,

495
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 2: like I'll just get out, like like thank god I

496
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: survived it. I'm like literally praying in the car and

497
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: he just like I like looked at him and nodded,

498
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 2: and he nodded, so I thought, right, he's got it

499
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: straight down again, like wam.

500
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 5: I was literally telling him like stop, like I wanted out.

501
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 5: He was just nodding, yeah, yeah, He's like yeah, you

502
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 5: like it.

503
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: I was like no, no, no, like man.

504
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: In the end, I had to like really grab his

505
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 2: shoulder like not forcibly, but and like get him to

506
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: look at me. And I was doing like the cut

507
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: neck sign like I'm done, I'm done. Oh man, absolutely terrifying.

508
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 2: I'll tell you.

509
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 3: What as well.

510
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: The I don't think I've ever felt g force, if

511
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: that makes sense, Like I feel like that's as close

512
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: as it probably gets, you know, in terms of like

513
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: being in the car.

514
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, now you mentioned it, Like so I had all

515
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 4: the cameras raked up, but I also had a camera

516
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 4: on my lap and I was in the car behind you,

517
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 4: I think, and my plant's trying to I could shoot

518
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 4: some bits of.

519
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 5: Your car through our window, and literally, like before we

520
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 5: even got to the first turn.

521
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 4: That was just evidently impossible because I like raised up

522
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: the camera, the g fource hit properly, and it just

523
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 4: like swung violently to the point where like I almost

524
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 4: hit the drive and I was like, Nope, not going

525
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 4: to try that again.

526
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 5: He looked at me like I was absolutely crazy for trying.

527
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 3: So were you just shooting out the front window?

528
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 4: I was trying to Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it was

529
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 4: very Yeah, I mean we're going so fast. So I

530
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 4: think a lot of the footage we will use. Its

531
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 4: just from the GoPro angles to be honest, and the

532
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 4: and the car and the one that was rigged the

533
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 4: camera in the back.

534
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. I felt as well that the well do you do?

535
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 2: You tell me, like, I can you work out how

536
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 2: that race worked? Like I don't know who was first,

537
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: who was second? Like did you work it out?

538
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 5: No idea?

539
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 6: No?

540
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 5: Maybe time?

541
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure.

542
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 3: It was just like he was.

543
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: I think he was saying that when you when you

544
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: get to the bottom, it's like you you ever can

545
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: quickly spin around and get the next spot. But it

546
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: like it didn't make any sense to me. I don't know, man,

547
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: it was absolutely crazy to me. It was quite an

548
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: experience and I'm glad we've fucking lived through it.

549
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: How far do you reckon?

550
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: It was on you, you know the other side of

551
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: like that little fence, like if you went off that

552
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: I mean you know I've been saying throughout this series

553
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: it was certain death like it was right for.

554
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 4: Sure, for sure, it was like yeah, Ravine like it

555
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 4: was Treed Cliff like it was yeah, you're not coming

556
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 4: back if you went off that.

557
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: No, definitely not all right, Mat, Thank you so much

558
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,879
