Drifting the bank is scary... | HertVlog

I had a run in with the wall at Orlando Speedworld over 10 years ago and since then I just avoided running banks. Well, now that I'm running Klutch Kickers and it's at Freedom Factory, I have no choice but to learn how to drift then bank. Wish me luck.

Thank u hert for showing your true side. We all have issues from pro to novice, Track flat to big grippy bank, low hp to high hp, high torque to high rev torque, left hand drive to right hand drive, it all plays a part in all of our builds to adjust!

[@shadowsandfire]

Hert: I dont like taking unnecessary risks Also Hert: **runs man line in the burn yard** But that was old Hert, we're grown-ups now!

[@MRMAN-wb1tv]

Those are his and Hoonigan cars that are for pure fun and entertainment. This is actually a professional sport with sponsors, and cars that are worth $50-$100k+

[@DatBoyComp]

ik its just a joke but the balls it takes to hit man line is considerably less than the balls it takes to huck your pride and joy at a wall while holding your foot to the floor in 4th gear lol

[@shadowsandfire]

@@DatBoyComp agreed!

[@christiancardoso2604]

As someone who has never drifted before and I’m building a drift car it’s very inspirational to see you be very afraid of the bank and see you all inch into it every run the fear is there but evil side comes out and want to play 🤣🥶

[@luisfrayre_]

if you never drifted, best to not over build. keep it stock and simple until you earn the skill, then add power, angle, and whatever it takes to make it comfortable for you.. mistake people do is over build and they cant drive their car.. bucket seat is a must or you'll be flying around everywhere lol

[@egjr2722]

@@luisfrayre_ totally agree with this. Its best to start with stock with the very basics to drift and work up from there.

[@ex_vitae]

Kiss method!!! keep it simple and stock! tires and go

[@Vert344]

@@luisfrayre_ Facts...Everyone always overbuilds their stuff then ends up getting burnt out, not having fun and gives up.

[@Vert344]

Everyone always tries to "Build a drift car". I say take easy. Take your stock car out... and just learn basic controls and how your car feels naturally to drive. The OG's Japanese guys use to rip around in bone stock cars. Then upgrade suspension to something not to crazy and maybe get some decent set of tires. I wouldn't even go for angle until much later when you've really mastered or gotten a good feel for what your car does. Power is absolutely the LAST thing you should add. The whole point is keep it simple... and keep it reliable and just go drive. Don't worry about trying to build like what you see guys on youtube or whatever have. They all had to start from stock or somewhere and work their way up. Don't jump into the deep end until your ready.

[@s13_sender56]

Hert…. Send it… your a driver. You know what your doing.. just commit and send it. Your not full committing.. there’s no half tries in a bank.. gotta stay on the gas, and chuck it into the wall a lil bit. Your flicking away from it. You got this dog.

[@Beamerboy27]

agreed

[@Mousyy]

I know it goes without saying, but youre a whole different driver than you were back when you crashed, glad to see you out there killing it!

[@HertLife]

🙏🏿

[@kylerose2952]

Dialing it in like a Boss! So cool to see your confidence and comfort with the car grow with every run! Full Send Hert FTW!! Cheers!

[@MMORPG87]

Hert you're a real down to earth grass roots driver. you have always went out to have fun and now you tossed yourself into an entirely new type of drifting thats different to you. none of us could have done it. being competitive in drift is leaps and bounds tougher without any seat time, add in being on a team with a car thats not owned and built by you makes it even worse so u will 100% worry. Adam Lz and Taylor Ray had to work it out and they have ungodly amount of seat time in comparison. its all just time and getting used to the car man. when that light switch flips in your head your gonna be a whole new animal out there. We all glad to see you back in a car we aint going anywhere

[@taeeg4575]

Herts in love with that limiter!! Can’t blame em sounds great

[@Mulletmans]

Glad to see you back in Florida drifting again with all the homies.... But that's a lot of car to get used to in a day or 2. Good luck tomorrow

[@Banana_werks]

Love seeing the improvement! Stay confident each run looked better!

[@rolley9846]

So dope to watch u get better. Always good to know even the people you look up to struggle with things too. Cheering for you Hert✊🏽✊🏽

[@Rdallday]

Mad respect you conquering that bank Hert! Keep it up. You’re lookin good out there. Going for what makes you feel uncomfortable makes you become 10 times better and stronger! It’s always great to conquer your fears

[@niklitch]

Fuck yeah liking these daily uploads, all the best in the series big man 🤘

[@markphillips6998]

It's cool to see the progression of so many already sick drivers as they experience comp spec cars and comp level nerves,iys very humbling and also very relatable, because you have a different style of controlling the car, ie alot of clutch and throttle input as opposed to lots of steering and throttle input etc changes the learning process I guess 🤷‍♂️ quickly becoming one of my firm favourites to watch, big up ya self Hert ✌️

[@richardzamudio6]

Please please upload 1-2 times a week. Thank you hert for the inspiration of not giving up in any situation. i look forward to seeing your progress. To the editors, you guys are awesome too and thank you for all you do

[@ovega1625]

Love seeing the practice laps and the dial in vlogs your killing it keep it up

[@M-F-CORGI]

The trust enjuku has in you is amazing, 'yo here is our drift car, go compete, by the way its gonna be a bunch of banked courses"

[@HertLife]

Seriously. They’re like family, it’s a great feeling to have them believe in me like this.

[@guywyle]

Definitely did the right thing by slowly learning the car and taking it easy. Bank tracks are not a place to push it or you could very easily write that car off. If it feels like too much car, just take the grip out of it. Most people at klutch kickers are driving over built cars and probably wont be able to do very well so making it easier to drive will give you a better shot. the biggest proof of this is chelsea putting his 350hp notchback on hulls FD Car in practice. Goodluck ma boi🤙🤙🤙

[@HertLife]

Thanks!

[@jeffpark4003]

Hert, you have the absolute best Beer With episode. Can you talk the Hoonigsn gang into doing more? I bet after becoming a father you can now drink double. Lots of love. Jeff from western Pennsylvania

[@justinasmuravskis3943]

You got this Hert! Whatever happens, you're still living the dream :)

[@peytonmcintosh3055]

That’s one wicked car, I couldn’t imagine having the keys to something like that tossed to me. Good luck this season!

[@DrifterAtHeart-Woocash]

Proud of you Dude 👏, well driven and no crashu. Props for having big cojones but using brain 🤟

[@jacobl6714]

Oh man I love that 350z, that has to be the best looking drift one of those I've ever seen. Any idea what engine is in that? Was hoping an LS. Great job though Hert, seemed like you were initiating real early, but you got it and have definitely improved. Race driver or soldier or ceo or politician, one of the greatest strengths a person can exhibit is the ability to say "look, I'm not great at this thing. Lemme find people who are, and be humble and listen and learn from them. Then I'll crush whatever it is I'm struggling with." I respect the hell out of any man that can do that

[@HertLife]

It’s an LS with a fat turbo. Brandon and that car are disgusting! Appreciate the kind words. That’s the only way to grow in life.

[@mikewyer337]

Your getting better and better bro I wish you the best of luck 🤞

[@codythrasher3930]

I can’t wait to see how amazing your gonna be after just 1 season of klutchkickers

[@Fj707ap]

hert your human even though all the videos I've seen of you slaying tires you look like a pro seriously. baby steps here and there and before you know it, you will "man line" every got damn track and represent the regular joes!! honestly if you were driving the twerk stallion you would have hit that bank like a bat outta hell bruh, you will get there bud stay positive and keep slayin

[@matthewdavis8720]

That bank is gonna be the rd. 1 winner

[@qwikk]

Hyped as hell to see you in Klutch Kickers, kill all the tires!

[@hlev4431]

I love seeing hert prepare for comp. He can definitely do some damage if he gets polished up

[@jamespenner5982]

Hey man, being brave isn't about NOT being scared doing something thats scary. Being brave is doing something even though it IS scary. And to be open about it and just come out and say it, doubly so. No lie, that'd scare me too. I get the same shakes and thoughts in my head on some of the mountain roads I run. No lie, I dont always overcome them either. Keep on keepin on, love the content.

Mad respect, Hert!

[@Doesntmatteratall]

A lot of drivers don’t show their true side on camera. Props to you for keeping it real and knowing that dick swinging doesn’t effect a learning curve

[@hyppeerr]

Caint wait to see you progress as a driver don’t give up! Seat time, seat time, seat time!!

[@jonovoudouris]

Nice man. Getting better every lap. It looks like the front is too gripped up and twitchy, maybe try upping the front tyre pressures and it might loosen it up abit and let the fronts slide a bit. Probably more like your used to with that style of knuckle. We've banged doors on assetto before...keep the R32 game strong.

[@gustavofigueiredo1798]

[@shwagondawheels]

I was sitting here on my couch clapping when ya hit that first linked run. Hell yeah 🤙

[@MrJtglenn]

Looks sketch! Looks like the z flicked towards the bank before initiating the drift I could see why you wouldn’t want to jump right into that lol… also I’m super Stoked you’re getting into formula d I’ve been waiting for this for years you’re my favorite driver hert!!!

[@Ashtxnn]

The "hahahah-hahahah" part of failure was felt for real 🤣🤣🤣

[@tylersteck6649]

You got this bro! Still ripping it legit!

[@MrMarkb68]

You should hit up Cleetus at the Freedom Factory and drift his track too. :)

Mad respect Big Dog!

[@mazjolfcal2337]

Hope you didn’t get disheartened Hert, you are full of skill and definitely shouldn’t think this is above you. If you was 100% comfortable in the car and didn’t care about breaking it you’d make it look too easy

[@jarrydhouston3879]

Brah your a beast. Killing it an learning along the way!! It would have been boring if you just jumped in the car and just got it first go! Keep at it! ✊🏾

[@B_M_A]

I feel like you could have just tried to grip drive the car near the wall around the corner just on the limit of the rear breaking traction then just commit on the gas and carry it the rest of the way and do that a couple times until you're feeling good or confident in how the car reacts. You still look dude dude! What a blessing to rip a car like that forreal.

[@doogiediggler5274]

Hert you are holding yourself back , Stop overthinking , It's not your car just send it , Trust the car you will overcome and achieve .

You got this bro don't psych yourself out you gotta just go for it and the bank at the freedom factory isn't as big or intimidating. Get some more seat time in that car you got this!

[@slitherdurant]

I could listen to this all day

[@HertLife]

Sameeeeee

[@Cobourn003]

Almost seems to be a bit too much grip, looks like it’s a fight to keep the car in drift and in the sweet spot of the power band. I can completely understand how scary it would be to try to run that high line with the car setup like that.. don’t let it get to you my man the more seat time you have in the car the more you will learn how you want the car setup and understand how it wants to be driven. Stoked to see you pushing it!

[@HertLife]

🙏🏿

[@COYOTE_N8]

That dude rips in the 350. Seen him doing klutch kickers, I've never drifted a day in my life but it seems like torque helps so much more. Literally clutch kicking the shitt outta that thing lol

what I learned from watching FD, you have to flick into the initiation on a bank. you just have to if your engine can't light up the rear tires on initiation.

im not into racing or drifting but that sounds scary good luck man

Just from bank experience. Always found small weight transfer than straight onto power always kept me high on any bank.

I know this doesn’t matter at this point because round one has already started, but you got it the only thing preventing you is your fear. You have enough skill and experience.

Kick ass. Also, that Z seems to have all the horsepower, or am I crazy.

[@HertLife]

It’s gnarly haha

[@wraithmedaberry5795]

Maybe try -6 deg in the front, might make it more comfortable. Ratio also looks too long for the bank.

[@HertLife]

That’s normally what I run. We have to make some adjustments to the suspension because it’s currently maxed out at -3.5 or -4

[@goodtimesslim3387]

Maybe I'm just not that smart about drifting, and this is probably the wrong place for this comment, but wouldn't it be cool to see drift track racing? I mean an entire pack of cars, trying to be first, but it's on long sweeping tracks. Would be so cool imo. GO HERTZ!!!! Don't fear the man who turned 1000 corners, fear the man who practiced 1 turn 1000 time (Zen Drift, the game.)

Imo drift cars don’t belong on banks but I know we’re just using the tracks we have left over from previous motorsports

How do u just get into a random car and bang out laps. You are awesome.

i obviously understand all the first times, but all it takes is that one full commit, 100% send where you feel the cars limit and then its to the next breakthru.

[@FreelaborGreg]

One thing I take away from watching your driving is you need to be smoother in your throttle you blip too much as you're driving which is probably 1 of the main causes you lose so many engines you need to give smoother inputs
