Gotta say I'm EXTREMELY proud of the entire Oakes team! Been a fan for the longest time and it's just so damn cool to see a team that works so well together. From Jimmy's driving to Spoons hard work and magic touch, Austin's filming and editing and Rj and Steve's behind the scenes I have to say this team amazing 🤘🏽🤘🏽 keep up the great work guys we all love it 🖤

Training in Japan with Grant-sama improved your driving skills and comfort dramatically. This is start of a wonderful new chapter and journey for you and the whole Oakes team.

[@mikerinehardt]

How does this channel not have a millions subs yet? This is the BEST youtube channel/ crew on the platform!

[@BigJimmyLifts]

We’re all thinking it. US Drift Chaser Build. You’ve never drove as good as you did in Japan. But it wasn’t just Japan. It’s like you just melded with the JZX Chassis so well it’s like it’s the only chassis you’ve ever driven. That’s your Chassis of choice for sure. I know your a Nissan boy, and maybe it’s just a little bit of denial as you love the coupe so much. But seriously the Chaser is where your Drifting is going to take to next level. Congratulations on the win. You still drove the hell out of that thing and your abilities where 100% improved from Ebisu. ❤❤

[@jordanbryce3795]

Been watching Jimmy from day one, rarely miss an ep and never really comment or anything on vids cause I watch on my TV, I'm actually proud of Jimmy, I always yelled at my TV at his other event cause you could just see he was in his head way to much and it's like the Japan trip has just eliminated that from his mind. New Jim unlocked now! Keep it up! Good work and cheers for all the informational content over the years aswell, I have learnt so much from this channel! Huge shout out! ✌️
