If you didn’t film another second and focused entirely on the trip and being present I would never hold that against you Jim, hope you’re having the best time

[@powerfuljackglass]

whoa now! I need content while a work

[@yourboyreebs]

so nice to see a guy who knows exactly what he’s doing so often be completely lost and learning

[@ChannelPineappleSon]

Well said

[@Whyyousomadbruh]

Best content ever. Grant is definitely right, the progression is real. Can we just appreciate how selfless sammit is? The man helps anywhere he can.

[@kyleveach3238]

Absolutely loving these videos, so WHO is complaining about any part of these videos?!?! Dirty lense, too much drifting, what???? Just enjoy the hard work Jimmy is putting in to share this experience!

[@TheWillson87]

These Japan vlogs are so sick. Never mind jimmys progression. He is full on shredding. Quick shout out to Sammit too. The guy grinds in Japan. Often alone, and so pumped for all you guys to be homies together at Ebisu.

[@pen15dragon13]

So over the years ive always kinda seen grant in the back ground of the ct gang vids and never really thought much but this japan trip opened my eyes up to how great of a dude he really is! His driving skills are crazy fire dude is kind as hell and I gotta thank ya jimmy for taking the trip cuz now i got another on you east coast boys to watch! Keep up the good work man your killing it❤🎉❤🎉

[@liamcosgrave5410]

I liked him better when he was cool.

[@ThatsMe4723]

​@@liamcosgrave5410 Grant always has and always will be cool idk what you are talking about

[@jasonpetrich4141]

Grant is one hell of a guy,he's the type of friend you could call at 3am with no questions he's on his way to help !!! Just a awesome friend

[@wobblysauce]

Grant laying pipe

[@jamesgt3011]

Hell yea Grant a OG and a freakin sick driver 💯👊👍

[@SMUDESS]

The improvement is so noticeable Jimmy! Congrats!

[@spicec0rp]

You absolutely CAN'T miss out on YF harnesses on Sam's home turf

[@SMUDESS]

Happy lunch break Patreon gang

[@0sir1sBaez]

Was LITERALLY about to say hell yeah just in time for lunch at work. Enjoy my guy!

[@_is300mj__7]

Just hopped on my lunch to let’s goo

[@georgefloydhadasthma9133]

The vibes from everyone doing the ebisu vlogs is bringing back old school youtube vibes legit putting a smile on my face

[@afaulkingham4130]

I cant get enough Japan Jimmy! bro you are slaying out there. Grant is such a pal. got your confidence up and pushing you to be better.

[@gavinstarke1184]

To be from a LHD country Jim, you are fucking balling out with the RHD now!! Proud of you my man. Been a fan of the channel for the past 2 or 3 year's. Watching you come from how you were with the change up. You really are smashing it out the park. Plus, you're a pretty damn well teacher of the JDM car industry. Really appreciate you and Adam and Sammy boy!!!!

[@tactix101]

@15:38 coming from a drag racing side we always say the track is the equalizer ..... so seeing you push in the wet with commitment when traction skill and timing matters over power was beautiful

[@MattFaatimaK]

that crown is gangster af....tinted tf out, slammed, black...sickkk

[@NaturallyGreasy]

A foreign Australian kid moved to Japan and now has Japanese locals with his website on thier sideskirts, Sammits out there grinding lol, I love watching him and LZ in Japan, glad yall finally got connected out there.

[@robturnbull7240]

To add context he does work for sammit

[@NaturallyGreasy]

@@robturnbull7240 Gotcha, same thing still applies then lol but for a differant reason.

[@OceanTechh]

There is nothing better than sharing a passion with friends, I love how healthy and motivating competition is .

[@deathgauge6919]

Hell yeah, I was hoping Sam would link up with you guys while you were there.

[@nolingatewood5182]

jimmys gonna get home and want to drift the chaser, i see it coming 🤣

[@Sheltur_0311]

and the home chasers setup is crazy good

[@traviscool2121]

The “Ahhh..” panic & 7:05 has my geeking. 😂 I love that everyone’s in Japan.. and I can’t express how this impacts people who dreams of this! You guys rock.

[@streeto.spirit]

Hey Jimmy, just wanted to thank you and Grant as well for the Ebisu content. Im currently on my 5th day in hospital with both legs and a back broken after a dude hit me from the back in his car while I was on a bicycle trying to pick up my e36 from my homies shop. You're making this time so so much easier with your awesome content. Not to mention how YOU and Grant seem to be most heartwarming and genuine guys in the sea of KZbin fakeness and ratrace. Thanks for being genuine and providing awesome content! Take care and have an awesome time in Japan ❤

[@DontGetBreezy]

Watching you and ruddy grow has been amazing you both are very skilled in the drift scene keep it up bro

[@jamesbaldwin1033]

1st gopro clip of Grant shooting flames in transition

[@HenryDarr]

So happy for your progression and being with the squad. Plus shout out to fellow Queenslander Sammit who's been on the solo Nippon grind, seeing him with all the boy's and Lady makes the content so much more extra 💯

[@Ethericbikes]

Jimmy you sir are making everyone super duper proud of you for the progress you’ve made over this last week! This is what we’ve all been waiting for with your driving and this seriously couldn’t get me more stoked! I can’t wait to see where this evolves to and because just like your bmx riding you have way more skill and then you give credit to yourself! Stop being so hard on yourself and just enjoy the time with the boys and give us lots of GoPro footage so you don’t gotta stress about filming

[@YotaguyJosh]

Absolutely amazing to see such a drastic progression. Ebisu did the same for Collette too.

[@yourboyelgin]

Jimmy you so humble and underestimate yourself alot, you’re a really great driver and you just keep getting better everytime you drive and with more seat time you become closer to becoming the ultimate drift weapon bro! keep doing your thang jim, absolutely loving the content!

[@anwarurena4513]

Best thing about trips is having a best friend that lives there helping you so you learn so much

[@twinturbocars]

24:31 Getting something that’s comfortable for you is most important, for anything in life

[@rzerobzero]

Take it easy on yourself, bro. Please. I don't want you to go crazy or burn out chasing some sort of immesurable imaginary metrics. Your doing amazingly, but even if you weren't you are out there doing it. That makes you worth watching. That and your winning Oakes personality :-) that's what a lot of us are here for.

[@markbradley769]

This was one of my all time favorite videos. You and sammit together in Japan. My two favorite KZbinrs, and then you topped that off with the coolest additions with the seat and best harnesses ever. Oh and you’re driving shows so much improvement.

[@racedavis5706]

Grant’s positivity and encouragement is awesome!

[@s13nate]

Got off work early right as this was uploaded 👌 good day

[@stevennewellproductions]

Jimmy, your graphic designer is a genius! Shirts are dope

[@402car_kid4]

you can reslly see your progression and you feeling more comfortable as the videos go on. also that boost controller and turning up the boost really woke that thing up and helped you stay right with grant.

[@jaydendiedrichs]

Would never skip driving footage homie, major improvement in driving every video. Fun series to watch just really good vibes

[@BkSMedia]

The improvement at which you've accelerated is unreal, it's really noticeable in your hand movements, where at the start of the trip you had those damn crazy hands, but now your movements are nice and smooth and there's not a lot of seesawing the wheel. This can probably be attributed a lot to forward planning your line but a lot of it is definitely seat time which is exactly what you needed Jim! You're gonna go home an absolute beast!!!

[@bigkaspi]

Yesssss CLEAN LENS OTW! It's only super visible when you're outside and there's sky in the background. Always a black spot in the upper left of the screen.. haha. Loving the Japan footage so far including all the drifting.

[@justinweaver2586]

THIS is exactly what you needed Jimmy. Just going out and having fun with your friends and enjoying every second of it. That alone is taking your driving to the whole next level. Love seeing it bro! Keep it up 13:29. JAPAN JIMMY IS ON FIRE 🔥

[@lyndon_rich]

Watching jimmy progress through drifting brings back the vibes of adams process and im all for it

[@devianjones2539]

Loving the Japan content you just need to move out there with the boys and set up shop

[@seanthrane1040]

love to see you so happy jim and living your dream that you’ve had for so long. brings a smile to all our faces.

[@stephenvoorhees7951]

Seeing you improve like 300% in a week is pretty awesome bro. Way more throttle commitment 👏 good shit bro! Keep it up. This trip content is fire 🔥

[@BenjySparky]

Jimmy,Grant,Sammit,Collette and Adam y'all rock! Peace

[@humankickstand7082]

This gives me some nostalgia reminds me of when Adam went for his first time and I was just learning about all of it so cool to see you there congrats and keep it up

[@Sir.Munoz.1117]

Wow jimmy! You are killing it!! Grants entire feedback is what you need lord I see 60 t-shirts being made from your proximity! Keep killin it with all the good ppl around you

[@deadlegintheface568]

Now I want a black crown bad, thanks seat time Jim. Great to see everyone having so much fun

[@jarrettking222]

The go pro footage was awesome jimmy. Your progression is sick. Seeing all you’ve accomplished through everything is awesome. You deserve it man.

[@crazygator96]

This Japan series is one of my favorites in the last couple years. Jist seeing Jimmy throw everything to the side and focus on progression and seat time. So sick to see the leaps in skill per video. Enjoy yourself big Jim! 🤙

[@JasonRothman]

Ik you might dislike taking out the camera in public places but I appreciate you taking the fans along. We all get to live vicariously through you.

[@onlyhands7183]

Bro I'm so happy for you guys to live my dream even if i was a spectator n not even able to throw down rubber, you guys are blessed and need to keep being humble. Makes me feel there with you 🤙 Bunch of good dudes😎 Also mad respect to sammit to commit to japan like i did when i moved 3500km from home n made it mine, takes a special person... That's hardcore

[@r7kelley553]

Your last run around12:20 something was sick! Your driving so good.

[@BenHut69]

Dude throw in more of the GoPro footage, it’s so fun to watch. Learning how to drift and watching you learn has helped me see a lot of issues with my own driving. Love these videos!

[@beefster1882]

love how everybody just has a smile on their faces, no bad vibes in japan frfrfrfr

[@MH-pe8wj]

Best opening ever all they guys . . . And girls!!

[@GingerKidCustoms]

Bro, the Rugrats sound was FIRE. Whoever put that in, fxckin legend!

[@smb2459]

Shout-out grant. Everyone needs supportive friends like Grant

[@LAMBDAMEDIA60]

All you need is a air blower. You can get them from any camera store. But put tape over the end to stop dust and dirt from getting in it

[@Smosis]

can already soo much improvement in jimmys driving, will say when adam went to ebisu the first time is also when he started to make leaps in his skill level aswell

[@murderedjku]

JIMPAN!! you're absolutely slaying it dude! keep Grant close, he's a solid guy. keep having fun brother.

[@DaveDoes_]

Jimmy, there was a black dot in the top right hand corner of your go pro for like 2 months. at least the last 10 videos. I do watch on a 75 inch though. It's gone now, but even though I only ever take pics on my s23 and film, i have a habit of using my shirt to wipe the camera every single time I use it. Just use your bottom shirt under your hoodie and give it a buff with your thumb. You are doing great though brother. I hope you make it to LZ in Melbourne I would love to come down and give you a fist bump. Cheers David

[@brandoncrider3697]

I need a wallpaper from the guy sitting mid corner when you and grant come around. That would be a fire shot! Driving insane! Friend group goals! Amazing content Jimbo

[@alexisisidoro6472]

I love Japan jimmy ! JJ all the way!!

[@ianshackleton8092]

Sick seeing you having a blast with the boys. Just have fun bro. Mad seeing everyone together. The only one missing is TJ

[@smithskater14]

JIMMY! Holy smokes you’re improvement has grown so much! You are sending that car right at home next to grant and not hesitating. You’re looking so comfortable and it’s enjoyable to watch! Keep it up brother! 🤙🏼

[@AshleyCaunt]

The progression is so good to see! Stoked for you, this trip has been needed for such a long time dude, enjoy your remaining days out there, super jealous!

[@urdoneson46]

Bro! Your progression is really leveling up. Keep up the good work, and keep the Japan videos coming!

[@travismichelin6450]

I’m glad your filming this experience for us but I’m happier that your taking time to put the camera down and just do you and enjoy Japan

[@minesbetter3504]

I'm loving the videos in Japan. All of it.

[@DeadFront1319]

That Rug Rats sound effect at the beginning during the merch plug 👍🤘 Haven't seen the show in well over a decade, but that little jingle's seared into my brain for life 😆😉

[@lxopenfirexl7007]

Gone be a bunch of shenanigans now that minami's being opened for matsuri, Nishi n north would have just been wild on there own, great to see everyone vibing🤘💯

[@EDV8ZR1]

Mr samit must be the best bro you can have. Sorry if the spelling of his name is wrong Google voice to text.

[@driftingbrandonc.6480]

First time in a long time where I’m actually looking forward to a KZbinr uploading content.

[@CrazxyDominican]

FINALLY JIMMY IS DRIVING!! This is the level I always thought you should be driving.

[@RelentlessPerfection]

It’s usually hard for me to react to videos or even comment but those first few rain clips had me going. Good stuff

[@MDxSemi]

I’m loving the Japan content

[@MrSethHikari]

Intro with friends shilling was great! 10/10 loving the vlogs

[@shaneanderson8358]

Big moves and the car is looking clean my man. Great progression and looking strong out there. The crew looks like they having hella fun too. Sammit with his selfless ass is for sure a solid dude.

[@ericday980]

Those lines looking a lot more confident! Well done Jim!

[@Bureli]
