[@villainthatschillin]

Still a buster..

[@negativeindustrial]

Jimmy, sell the E36 and turn one of your other 240s into a replica of the black S13. Make a red one with black seats like a negative of your current one. It can be pretty but not your baby and you can give it 100% on every run. It’s obvious you’re at one with an S13.

[@negativeindustrial]

@@connoisseuroftigolbitts Why? He has like 9 Sylvia/240SX in his garage. He’s been torturing himself over this one issue for a few years now. It seems crazy to let something like this hold him back when he has the solution(s) sitting in his garage but that’s what we humans do sometimes. Perhaps he just needs a nudge or maybe he will completely ignore the suggestion entirely but what’s it hurt to try to help?

[@EXZACHTPERFORMANCE]

​​@@Ewtlldo he's just gotta truly convince himself he doesn't care about the outcome and that he's just there to party.

[@Ajaystylez]

@@EXZACHTPERFORMANCENo, what he needs to do is do what TJ does & compete constantly in a competition series even if it’s just a regional/local series. Only way to overcome his issues is to put himself in a competitive environment. Driving with friends is cool & all but it doesn’t help you build that mental fortitude of competition.

[@Mldavis1214]

He definitely held it down now he needs to get them dialed

[@EXZACHTPERFORMANCE]

@@Ajaystylez wow! Didn't realise competing in drift comps and drifting your cars weren't the same thing, hur durr. It's all the same shit, being scared of crashing gives the same result as doubting your own abilities.spending more time in the car than under other ones IS driving more.

[@sander1999100]

Jimmy definetely should do some seat time events in e36 without the pressure of comp, to feel the car out. Would love to see what he can do in the comp with a properly set up 36 which he feels comfortable in, also great for tandems with Grant.

[@smplmher]

Honestly if he can just stay out of his head he’d be owning in comps, its all mental

[@Tagiau]

He's gotta get a diff collection going.

[@Roscoe293]

[@rsadz2358]

jimmy dont be to hard on your self love what u and the team do keep killing it

[@SeriousBeard]

When I played semi-pro football I had a coach tell me one time that it's natural to get nervous about things you care a lot about. The trick isn't to try and stop getting nervous, because your fighting natural reactions, it's to learn how to care more about having fun and improving than trying to prove something. That way the pressure isn't so high in your own head, and makes it much easier to just perform and accept the good and the bad as an experience to build on and make the next one better.

[@grape4pe]

I can't say it enough. SPOON is the fucking man. Does his job at an extremely high level, great attitude at all times. And knows the nature of his work. Builds a show quality front end and refreshes the coupe to a new level, and is happy to see it used and abused. No crying about slaps and or tickles. Took Jimmy's channel (and his driving by being able to focus on it and not the car) to a whole new level!

[@aftrdvrkmedia]

That moment with you and Sean, mad respect! Keep up the great content!

[@Danger-Dave]

Sometimes your worst enemy is that little guy in your head, seat-time will take care of him... Jimmy's still killin it and knows that even the best drivers have those kinds of moments too. Were all out here living vicariously through his content/progression and loving every minute of it! 💯

[@jadennelson7808]

No one is disappointed Jim. We’re excited to see you keep progressing. It’s great to see someone actually passionate about this sport

[@reecenyland2813]

Hey jimmy! I totally understand how the nerves get to you during competition, I used to get extremely nervous during baseball. I would also get nervous when skiing and doing something out of my confort zone like a big jump or a cliff. But one time i saw a video where a guy was about to drop a chute and he was saying he was nervous, but then he told himself that what he was feeling was excitement not nerves and that he was psyched to do something as sick as what he was about to do. And from then on if i felt nervous about something i would tell myself that i was actually just excited to do this dope ass thing, and god damn does it work. I think this mindset trick may help you out during competitions! I hope you continue to preogress as a driver just as u did at Ebisu!

[@dapperdanbuilds]

Man, you have to stop worrying about how many people are on the stream and how many are gonna watch the vid...it's just you and the car! We all know you have the skills, once you have the headspace down...you're gonna be UNSTOPPABLE!

[@ncgvic5454]

you did great jimmy and thank you for letting me meet you and take a pic with you truly meant everything to me so thank you guys. had the best day of my life to be for real

[@InDmand]

the e36 looks pretty quick, gonna be wild with enough seat time

[@helplmchoking]

Yeah there's a big jump in chassis and suspension quality between a Silvia and an e36. The S chassis isn't actually a great chassis, theyre just super cool and used to be cheap. You can feel a huge difference even going to a Skyline. You're right, though. More seat time in the bmw and Jimmy gonna be doing big things

[@mikellewis2346]

Man once you get past the comp jitters your gonna do awesome Jimmy. Your talents are showing even tho u didnt make it to ue show. Every time you drive in and out of comp your driving is improved so much!!!❤ hold your head up and keep going. Dont give up, you have what it takes...........

[@maxbalke]

You definitely made us proud. We’re beyond hyped that you’re out there doing comps and working on improving. Love that you show when things don’t go perfect and you keep at it despite things not going as you expected. You’re driving has improved so much and you drove awesome. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

I saw what happened on stream, your confidence was way higher at Ebisu, you need to try and get that stress level down Jimmy! Now let's watch the video 👌

[@BjornV]

After watching the video, Your confidence level raised 100% after your session with Rud! You were driving like a baller. Get more seat time, do more local comps and you'll get better at getting your 'choke level' down😅 Keep it up Jim!

[@LowendNate]

Jimmy no ones let down you shredded the tires off and are killing it. we are here to watch you progress and you will like you said keep doing comps and your only going to get better

[@jamesstrozeski8573]

Stevie be killin the commercials bro. I love the vibe of everyone in the squad doing little things to make it happen. That’s the whole vibe

[@doridex]

You didnt let us down. Nerves are a REAL thing in drifting lol. I would like to see less handbreak on tandems and more left foot braking.

[@James-sir]

Take a Valium before comp and qualifying it’s amazing it works

[@bryantmcgarvey7509]

How jimmy doesn’t have a million subscribers is beyond me….such a genuine guy!

[@Nikitunzi]

Jimmy, you didn’t let us down! Please don’t be embarrassed! The most embarrassing thing would’ve been not giving it all, but you did! You just sent it and it turned out to be a little too much! Some drivers would have been super safe when anxious, but you kept sending, which is the most important aspect of every sport and competition. Olympic athletes train themselves to accept anxiety and fear as something positive and exciting, but it only comes with lots of competitive experience. So just keep at it! Everything is great!

[@Peteblz1]

I think everyone I watched that went to the lz fest hit the wall. It's just the way the track is set up. Your riding the edge right next to the wall. I think you did excellent Jimmy! Keep up the good work. Best team ever!

[@turbocateyeS475]

In no prep racing we all draw chips from a bag. there's a blue set and a red set, so if you're blue number 1 you run red number 1, no qualifying. You just get to race you're way to the top and it's always random who you run. The world tour would be better, a lot of guys are great lead and follow drivers but panic in solos. And if the tour is 80% having fun that'd be the move. You killed it as always Jimbo, as long as you enjoyed it.

[@alexalexis8455]

Got the chance to meet Jimmy yesterday, honestly a great guy…the way he interacted with me made it feel like we were friends..we’re all proud of you Jimmy

As one of the guys from CT, that went down to catch the comp on Saturday, just getting to watch three car tandem, and watch everyone go nuts when threw the link ECU shirts to the crowd were well worth. Hope you had as much fun with the guys as I did just hanging enjoying the sick show ya’ll put on.

[@dmariusg]

You drove great Jimmy, don`t beat yourself down! Take the aero off both the S13 and the E36, get close to the walls with the bash bars, you need to find the limits of both cars.

[@FRIEDWINGZ17]

Dont stress the comp too much Jimmy. You and all of us know you got it in you to do well. Keep working on the nerves and youll be ripping for sure. Seeing you run just that one lap w frontsteet yesterday was amazing. Still so hyped you got out to etown to drive this one.

[@tylerorazio9504]

You’re really hard on yourself…. It’s tough to watch. Only because I have a 5 year old who is super tough on himself when he feels like he doesn’t do perfect at anything! You are the man Jimmy, nobody expects you to be perfect all the time, we appreciate you for the real~ness you share with us. My son and I haven’t missed a video in years, and even he says how you are tough on yourself…. You have major wins in life, I hope that you can absorb those the way they should be.

[@sneakuhatx9464]

I don’t drift so can’t speak to that aspect, but with the nerves - just remember you don’t control the outcome of the judging, all you control is how you show up. So stop worrying about the outcome and just worry about having fun and killing it! You are doing great.

Are you doing the breathing exercise before you start the comp ? Helps me on the way to the starting line.
