[@Taylordrifts]

I need to make it out to a final bout event. Dope video eletor.

[@eletor]

There is one coming up in a few weeks, you should do it breh.

[@sebastiangallo7424]

Taylor Ray

[@schassis_eddi]

There’s one coming up later this week

[@scamuelz6393]

dang 5 years ago!

[@efitter7]

Good soundtrack choices

[@eletor]

I'm glad you liked the music, I didn't think anyone would.

[@buildingsalvage]

+eletor Fully Flared-esque. Love it.

[@efitter7]

Michael Senko My thought exactly!

[@doobtubes]

+eletor its great !!

[@eletor]

Most drift videos suck, it's the same shit every time. I have made a bunch of videos that follow that same cliche of terrible music and I'm sorry for that. It was cool to make this video how I wanted it.

[@BurealisMusic]

Dude i love drifting, and watching your videos only increases my love for it! Thank you very much for posting! :D

[@alternateklety5260]

I cant get enough of this man

[@StillRollinEntertainment]

We gotta bring these videos back. So good

[@eletor]

Bring them back? Shit, I'm keeping them here! Haha, I know what you're saying. The current state of drifting content is totally fucked with all the vlog garbage and I won't be joining the crowd.

[@ManOrWomanIDK]

daaamn that jag!

[@Sadisticr1]

that jag would make a badass gray poupon commercial

[@thedukuv]

I was like "omg a drift-uar" that thing is maaad.

[@juanportillo7179]

Sadisticr1 k88qa iiuy

[@UnderGroundPhishers]

you know in real life youre the ultimate troll but you make some good videos and aren't credited enough for it.. Something must be done.. ;D Keep em coming. Always got my like

[@eletor]

I'm a troll to people that suck, I'm sure you know that though. I don't worry about credit because I have people like you that watch the videos I make, that makes it all worth it.

[@dtbjjrb]

Best era of Final Bout #bringbacklowstyledrift

[@doobtubes]

This was beautiful and the music👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 i had the goosebumps the whole video

[@avseiz6759]

These videos bring tears to my eyes. Honestly. Perfect soundtrack, not like every other video that seems to propagate the idea that EDM/Drifting/Cars are always synonymous...thanks so much for putting time into a video like this.

[@Sadisticr1]

god its like the old days of jdm drifting. teams with matching cars and/or color schemes. reminds me of a-bo-moon. love it

[@eletor]

Final Bout is one of the best concepts out there.

[@ZZz3rDeYezZZ]

I'm friends with your buddy Ben S. He sent me here! AWESOME VIDS MAN!!!

[@Tora1337]

Those Celica GTs though.... Shredding old-school. Loved the vid, great stuff!

[@sinshyft117]

The first part with Band of Horses is one of my favorite pieces of video. Just goes together so well with that song.

[@eletor]

Thanks, I thought it went pretty good also. A few of my friends thought it would suck when I was editing it.

[@sinshyft117]

+eletor Eh fuck it. You got a talent for this stuff. Just gotta trust your own judgement. Ended up great and elicits some feels.

[@eletor]

Dan Banker I'm glad you got hit with the feels, it does it to me as well. You have any song ideas for any future videos? I still have to edit Final Bout SSC, Street Driven Tour ATL and GridLife ATL.

[@sinshyft117]

+eletor Depends on what you're trying to do. Dancing in the Moonlight by Thin Lizzy, How Did I Get Here by Odesza, Flaws by Vancouver Sleep Clinic, Evil by Interpol, All I Really Need (Regulators Remix) by Vindata, I Don't Believe You or Acting Up by G-Eazy, PSA by Jay Z, April Showers by Proleter, Open Wound (Odesza Remix) by KiTheory, 3005 by Childish Gambino, Where Is My Mind? by Pixies, and Retrograde (Loston Rework) by James Blake. I dunno what you'll like, but I think those would be neat and they cover a lot of different shit. I gotta say that you've turned me onto a lot of music with these videos. Kognitif is great.

[@eletor]

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm checking them out now. Glad you like Kognitif, he's super underrated.

[@carrera1up]

r.I.p. 2:13 bro

[@eletor]

[@AKINA86]

Especially love the lurker footage! That second music track was soo-fisticated.

[@eletor]

Thanks homey!

[@Pi4zza]

FINALLY A GOOD VIDEO OF FINAL BOUT

[@eletor]

I don't know what to say besides thanks.

[@hamba.r6575]

+eletor spice it up, then.."thank you very much"..lol

[@eletor]

Haha! It's just humbling to hear someone say that. I had a great time at this event and wanted to show that. I'm super hyped that some people like the video. I'll say this: I've seen some great videos to come out from this event, the Official Final Bout video from Keep Drifting Fun is rad (link in the description, PLZ subscribe) and Scott Mitchell Media is amazing. Please find those guys and support what they do!

[@Jared-C]

[@eletor]

Ayyy thanks, Scott! I love your video from this event big time, such a good feel in the camera work and presentation. Always loved your flicks homeboy!

[@21April853BC]

Good music with car sounds.

[@lennart-nohesicrew1523]

[@aliecerfalcon9481]

[@eletor]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

[@aymanenidal4102]

[@eletor]

Thanks Aymane, the music is what took me so long. I'm not going to let that happen again.

[@originalgibbs1584]

[@donevanleonc]

Always worth the wait. Best ssw video hands down. Can't wait to be in front of your lens.

[@eletor]

I don't know if it's the best but I try to make a good presentation. You coming out to an event I'll be filming?

[@donevanleonc]

+eletor Well I'm from MN and would love to make it out to shawano, but I'm deployed right now, hopefully I get back this fall soon enough.

[@eletor]

Donevan Christensen Get the Dirty Love guys to come out! Stay safe on your deployment and don't spend all your GI money on a drift car!

[@donevanleonc]

+eletor Money's gone. I now have 3 drift cars. Oops

[@eletor]

Donevan Christensen Damn dude!

[@MindYaBizz_Whiz]

It’s funny, me and a friend were talking about Geoff Stoneback’s JZX, and he mentioned it was from Oregon or some shit and almost bought it. I’m randomly watching this video, and I just saw it in the background of the cookout portion of this video.

[@juliangriffiths9583]

Everytime i see an s15 i just hear the words ‘one day’

[@earthwormjim420]

[@jadenob1037]

Okay that old hag was the best looking drift car out of them all

[@MikeNolano]

Should have done a "POP YOUR HOOD, BRO" with Scott Pham's RX7!

[@tristanshindell32]

Mannnnn I got chills when I seen jake… I’m going tmr and wish I could see him there 😓

[@eletor]

A lot of us would like that to be the case

[@differentgang2842]

awesome vid!

[@tcolby29]

Glad too see a video that focuses on the drifting not Jake losing his wheel. Shit happens he could have lost a wheel with all the lug nuts installed seen that shit more that once at work. Good video man. Keep them coming.

[@eletor]

Yeah, I didn't need to focus on that shit. I was staying at Jake's house when I was in Portland for this event, he's a good friend of mine. I seen a guy lose a wheel on his 350Z when I was filming Street Driven Tour in Atlanta yesterday. That shit isn't exactly uncommon. Glad you liked the video!

[@racingsonny8865]

Cool video man keep up the good work

[@eletor]

I'll be at Final Bout Special Stage Central in two days, I'll do my best.

Great video and edit

[@eletor]

Thanks dude!

[@OMGBoomify]

Love the first song, and when's the next garage talk?

[@eletor]

Shit dude, I know I have to get back on it!

[@toddbrown4185]

This video is 6 years old and I’ve watched it a million times and I just realized this was the event that Jake Rio yard sale’d his car and the battery flew out lol

[@eletor]

Yeah, that was this event. I stayed with Jake for the week of this event and dealt with the backlash second hand. I didn't include that stuff in this video because I didn't want it to define him.

[@DeadguyAi]

Thanks eletor

[@eletor]

You're welcome.
