RVING & RACING? BONDURANT SCHOOL OF DRIVING (EP 100)

[@themonkk1]

As a police officer, I have trained in performance driving. It is amazing how much control you can get over your car with the right tactics. And it’s a ton of fun! Great video!

[@craigpochert6263]

All the videos are great but from a cinematography standpoint, this takes the cake! Great use of the drone, mix of cameras and editing! Looked like a professional film shoot! Looked ridiculously fun too!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks for noticing because it got stressful at times. We reviewed the footage after day 1 and thought... how are we going to record this AND do it? We came back on day 2 and told the instructors that we need WAY MORE drone to piece these scenes together. We like events like this to force us to improve.

[@dianestevenson2630]

Vision is so true. My dad always taught me that from the beginning of my driving and for life. Keep your eyes up and anticipate what is going to happen and always be aware of what is going on around you. Great fun video. Congratulations on the 100th episode.

[@billandmaryoshea6532]

Watched again and sent to adult kids to explain how we spent our weekend! Y’all are…. I’ll finish the sentence when I create a new word that encompasses what’s in my heart.

[@brentnutter1510]

Love, Love, Loved this episode. This is a bucket list item for me, Wow! I'm a racer at heart. If I were ever to win the lottery, lol, if I ever played, I would go to multiple driving schools....pavement, dirt, road racing, drag racing, sprint car racing, etc..etc..

[@gmo9834]

Oh my goodness...LOOKS LIKE YOU SLAYED THAT ASPHALT BEAST!!! The roar & rumble of those cars - that would be hard 2 leave. Made my guys sit & watch too & gotta say theyre luvin it!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Lol. That's awesome. Thx.

[@suzettecalleja3122]

you are so smart for getting prepared for your trip to Alaska by learning how to drive your rig the best way and safest way. Kudos to you.

[@trevwheeler8986]

My favorite video of KYD, only because my Dad was a short track Racer and my Uncle was a motocross and snowmobile Racer.

[@HomesteadingAlaskatoMaine]

When you get to Fairbanks, check out the camping on the Little Chena River, it's cheap and great views. With lots of room. Just east of Two Rivers, Alaska in the park. Head toward Chen'a Hot springs resort. Turn left at 39 mile...

[@terislevin7042]

Never a dull moment!! Thanks for thinking out of the box, creating thought provoking, educational, entertaining and colorful videos every week! now, I'll put this kind of thing on my bucket list of to do's in America! :)

[@kenthom6600]

Best driving school in the country... great way to show the combination excitement and learning.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

This comment is for anyone who wonders if the course "HOW TO START A KZbin CHANNEL", offered by Mark is worth it. ABSOLUTELY! I thought I knew it all because of all the videos I have watched on how to start a KZbin channel... Uhhh, NO! I am learning so much more useful information than most videos give me. Mark explains even the smallest details that one wouldn't think will make a difference in the channel's success. I am working on a second channel, starting from scratch and will follow Marks tips religiously :) Mark, Trish, I thank you both so much for creating this priceless course! I don't even know how to thank you enough... I am reading it like a novel :) And the channel banner art tips - I love it! Thank you and have a wonderful travel! Warm thanks, Sasha

[@KeepYourDaydream]

You're too kind Sasha. I'm so glad you're liking it!

[@Patricia-re6rs]

That's really great, Sasha because your channel is already great! Pat

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

:) The last time I enjoyed reading non-fiction so much was 10 years ago when I was taking statistics and probability at SCC :) Thank you again guys!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

:) Thank you ma'am! I appreciate it! I am going to make a few changes based on what I have learned from the course so far :) Thank you all again and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!

[@Jim.Hummel]

Stellar video!!!! So cool to see the photos of Mr. B. himself with Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Paul Newman. You know what...this was so good, I'm going to watch it again right now!!!

[@bryansmith5279]

That was awesome.... you both totally enjoyed it :)......” no drifting with the rig “...great job !!

[@paulfisher4660]

You'd be surprised when those skills will come in handy. Last year we were in Europe, driving from Amsterdam to Rotterdam on a major road. Car in front some how hit the front of a semi-truck that was running to our left, car bounced off and ran right across our path, days of thunder scenario. I hit the brakes and steered left towards the gap between the semi truck and the car heading to our right. as I've been living in the US many years, I forgot about downshifting and stalled, but did steer through the mess.

[@152kmart]

"Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast" is the saying...... And I love your videos!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Dang it. Did I make up my own version?

[@heberclementiii6788]

Awesome guys, what a blast . I work for Mercedes-Benz and we had some training like this in Alabama. Was so much fun !!! Great footage as usual.

[@joeofallthings7403]

You guys just keep getting better. The footage on this video was spectacular! Love it!

[@gregcain6821]

It really is amazing what a normal street vehicle can do. Best case-in-point is to take your vehicle you drive everyday and apply the brakes on pavement hard enough to make the ABS work. It is amazing how hard a vehicle can brake! It can feel like your face is getting sucked out of your head! Great video! I'm sure it was a blast getting to spend some time in a closed course in some Hellcats!

[@jerryrush2893]

The part where the instructor showing Trish the course was hilarious, that’s the quietest I’ve ever seen her !

[@JT65738]

Fantastic!!!! Loved the video. Congrats on 100th episode.

[@rvtravelfamily9539]

Awesome video as always! We leave for our 3000 mile west family rv adventure in just a few short weeks. We are super excited but I find as the time gets closer a little nervousness is creeping in. Does any else feel this way before a big trip to an unknown territory? We are well under gvwr and set up to do this but ...those mountains look bigger every day! :)

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Us too. Before we left the first time, we were really nervous/excited. Mexico was new. A bit nervous there. Canada (Tifino) and the Ferries - that was new with lots of moving parts. SN 4 was pretty low key because we knew the area, but now AK?!?! Lots we don't know. Just remember, you're not in a hurry... even when you think you are. Being in a hurry is when problems happen!

[@QuadeQuick]

I've been meaning to do the Bondurant school forever - nice inspiration!

[@CampandCamera]

I had to go back and watch this intro again. Still the best I've seen. Great work!

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Pure adult madness!!! Love it, this class/training provides you with knowledge in a safe environment. Now you get to apply this knowledge to your every day driving. I know you two had fun, it's apparent 😊 Hugs, Sandy

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks Sandy!

[@andycommonsincanada]

Mark & Trish the new TOP GEAR presenters. Absolutely fantastic video guys just like watching an exiting episode of TOP GEAR. You really would give Clarkson & Co a run for there money. Brilliant use of your drone guys, made it all the more interesting to watch.

[@karenlowe-alton417]

So cool. I expected to see you on the tracks with your truck and Ginger! Ha!

[@aprildawn8692]

That! Was! Awesome! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and congratulations on episode 100!

[@josea5949]

How great was that. I'm so jealous. What a blast it must of been. Thank you for sharing this video

[@brianmombourquette5381]

Who would have thought that the flat tire episode would lead all the way to here. Amazing video, great shots, superb drone work, lots of fun! Congratulations on episode 100 :-)

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I've often thought the same thing....

[@EkalbGnilrad]

Holy cow you guys! Seriously impressive video work and so much fun to watch! You two have really stepped up your story-telling game since episode 1!

[@rvscott16]

That was a great video!!! It looked like so much fun do.

[@mikecasterline9821]

Congrats on 100th! Great drone shots!!!!!

[@FLFlyer]

Looks like so much fun. Always wanted to race but my weakness is dirt tracks. If you've never been to a dirt race you're missing out.

[@MyLifeisaHighway]

Incredible! what an amazing video. the use of drone was perfection.and all the b-roll made me feel like i was right there. awesome tips and instruction too. you crushed this one KYD! thanks for sharing with all of us!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thx. I'll tell you what... we ended up in much better shape than you in your last video! I hope you feel better soon! #GetWellSoon

[@andycommonsincanada]

Keep Your Daydream Thanks for the recommendation to Rodney’s channel guys. As I said, this one is right up my street, RVS AND MOTORBIKES. Just need Rodney to come ATVing and Snowmobiling up here in the Rockies to make his channel even more fun.

[@1GiPhoner]

That was awesome! Those cars are BEASTS! Thanks for the wonderful footage.

[@andreworton5034]

Guys this was an awesome video! So jealous you had this experience!

[@gingerhails2561]

Congratulations on 100 episodes. Can’t wait for more!!

[@ArbitraryExploration]

Such an amazing experience! You really had fun filming this! You can see it in all of the footage!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I'm smiling. I'm happy with the drone shots, but recording stuff like this is far from fun :) So stressful. And then we get done with day one and find out everything we DIDN'T record. Get done with day 2 and say... how did we forget that again! Then we piece it together.

[@shack200351]

Those lessons can work in life vision focus on your goals look away and you fall back.

[@edaker4684]

Trish in a Hellcat! Now that's hot! Another thumbs up video!

[@PetesProjects0]

Great episode guys. Reminded me of the drag racing class I had with the Doug Foley school. What an adrenaline rush that was.

[@WhoaNellieRVAdventures]

I'm inspired! Bondurant School of Driving is now on my bucket list. Great job with the video!

[@jamesmay2575]

You guys are awesome!!! I look forward to watching your videos every week. Would love to meet up with you all some time. Thank You for great-great videos!!!

[@kevinthomas8025]

Great video guys, it is an awesome learning experience when you learn from professionals. Driving a semi I used things I learned in a similar school.

[@leoblake4920]

Great 100th episode video. Really wanted to see you run the course in your Super Duty. Bondurant teaches great techniques and situational awareness. Can't wait to see your trip to Alaska!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I would have loved to.... but I had stuff in the bed of the truck :)

[@CampandCamera]

The 30 sec intro footage rocked! Nicely edited my friend!

[@ronmcphee1865]

amazing video ---- both of you did a great job --- as always videos are 1st class --- congrat on 100th

[@martyemerick4687]

Man you guys are so good, your vlog just flew right on by.......

[@DownTheRoadWeGo]

Outstanding drone footage Marc. Oh and great driving. I know you all had fun, but yes there is a lesson to be learned about defensive driving. More people need that type of driver training especially teen drivers. Great job getting the word out. 👍

[@leonardmarlborough5587]

That has absolutely been my lifelong dream was to go to Bondurants driving school! So jealous!

[@moremilesmorememories2240]

So Cool!!!! Adding this top the bucket list

[@vicki2153]

Congrats on Ep 100! I've enjoyed each one!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks Vicki!

[@SWinKankakee]

Nothing quite like a track day to make one feel like a kid again. Great video!

[@roseandmiron]

Hey guys thank you so much for that video, that was awesome. Thank you so much for everything that you do to put these videos , I'm a little late this week, lol but I always am so excited to see your videos and thank you from the bottom of our heart, you guys are like family to us now lol and we've never met you lol but one day I hope to meet you and shake your hand you guys are so easy to watch and enjoy your company on the video lol I can only imagine what it is in person lol anyway thank you safe travels see you guys soon God bless

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks Jerry. That would be fun! I'm sure our paths will cross.

[@lizkellogg8519]

I've never heard of this place and we live off Elliot and I-10 Will have to check it out!

[@dandubay7662]

That was so cool!! Cant wait to get out that way and go there!! Thanks for the great videos and inspiration you guys bring, Its infectious!! Happy Trails!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks Dan!

[@asab4930]

You guys are AWESOME!!!

[@dusty2782]

Nice blenders! Great episode, keep it up.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I was a sucker on a IG ad. Polarized for $35 isn't a bad deal.

[@christieobrien4437]

Great video you guys Happy 100.. love your videos ❤️ heading out with our new rig for a camping trip in 2 weeks :-) so excited.

[@jstrege1]

Can't wait for Season 5. We are headed to Alaska from Washington State in our Class A motor home. We leave on June 18. Hope to see you on the road.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Look for us!

[@BettyA]

Congrats on 100th. A couple of weeks ago 100K subs, 100 episodes, 100 mph - oh wait!! Slow Down... lol. Awesome video. That was a great idea and fun too. You guys are doing all the good.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

:)

[@amysvob3066]

Trish you should ride with my hubby lol. He has a supped up Dodge Ram 4x4 quad cab making 900 horse power! It's crazy fast and I totally know what it's like riding in those and also fun!

[@brendajohnson6910]

Fantastic episode!! So much fun!!

[@chuckmoseley1028]

Dude!! The ONLY way to top this one is go to Alaska!! BEST....KYD... VIDEO....EVER!! Awesome camera work! 😁

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Nice. Thanks.

[@edbenson98]

I’d love to see you guys take Ginger for a spin around that course! #KYD

[@danspence8262]

One of your best videos ever. Great shots and info.

[@jacobr8106]

Love the scene where Trish is holding onto the seatbelt!! Glad that wasn’t someone’s hand! 😂

[@tammiecarbohn6796]

That looked like sooo much FUN!

[@runningonempty398]

Great video! 100th congrats.. Thanks for sharing.

[@tomd.benjamin762]

Looks like a great time. Shake & Bake!!!

[@drewsky1722]

I love the hellcats...I'm so jealous...I know it was fun driving thoes cars. Great video guys 👍.

[@kath44]

Very cool, and fun video, loved it, my husband used to race cars, awesome. 😊

[@PentaxLife]

Hi great video. With ABS and brake control set right and looking where you need to go helps. Well my is set at 6.5 I like alittle pull from camper and with the engine brake of fat bottom girl ( our 3500 RAM dually)things seem to stop LOL. Yes there is a story there. Coming from lake Havasu to Paker there is light at the bottom of the hill well looked at the speed limit sign to the right then down at Dash just make was not speeding looked up and the light is red car in both right and centre lanes well hitting brakes very hard and aiming for the left turning lane all was fine lost a little rubber. 37′ of 5wheel did not even

[@Jerry-dk8se]

Believe it or not, but this could help your rig handling. I took the Archer high performance driving course in Topeka, KS. back in 1992, and the lessons learned has been beneficial in driving a big truck and towing my camping trailer. Remember, smooth is faster, energy management will help you with better fuel economy and give your family (and Ginger II) a smoother ride.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I agree. All these principals are so transferable. We're going to *try* to keep a fuel log to AK so everyone knows. I'm good about that stuff for the first few days.... AK is a big trip :)

[@northrube]

Your trip to Alaska has probably started...? My wife and I are wondering if you’ve upgraded your Rig like you hinted at a while ago! We begin our Daydream in 35 days and a wake-up. We (read: my wife) want to start a blog about our journey and wondered if you had any suggestions. Looking forward to your Alaska videos! Mark & Andrea Ballard

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Not yet. The channel is pretty current right now. Well, really current. Bondurant was a few days ago. Upgrade videos will be in a couple week and then we start our travels north. We won't get to AK until mid to late June, but we have some fun stuff planned for the trip north.

[@laurablanton703]

I've always wanted to do this! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@demianross]

This was a ton of fun. I was bummed I couldn't be out there to help you film this.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That would have been nice. It was a fun, but slightly stressful couple days making sure we could capture what we needed in one take.... without knowing what was next or what to expect.

[@daveswaisgood7995]

Excellent! Thanks!

[@chasincloud957]

Bahahaha Trish white knuckling her seat belt!!! LOL!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

You saw that! Too funny. I smiled every time I got to that in the edit.

[@deanwebster]

Congrats on 100 episodes. This was so cool. Well done! Better add some extra funds 💲for the speeding tickets on the way to Alaska. 😂😂

[@rerun4846]

Congrats on 100TH!!!!!!

[@TravelswithYoly]

Your recommendation to try these techniques in our trucks in a parking lot somewhere is an invitation to an overnight in cell city !

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Like locked up? I wasn't thinking people would drift their rig. But knowing what ABS feels like or how to stop quickly on the threshold of abs is a good thing to know.

[@TravelswithYoly]

It just seems a bit sketchy to me hitting 65 mph in a parking lot with unknown surface friction levels and then trying to stop in a specified time and space. Knowing how your ABS reacts and feels is probably a good thing but getting it to behave the same way on different surfaces would be difficult. For example, the feeling on dry pavement with lots of grip creates a very distinct almost violent shudder at the pedal while the same brake force of a damp street creates a very different sensation. I agree that doing it somewhere other than a public space, such as a test track would be much less sketchy. It's hard to argue against knowing how a vehicle reacts in an emergency situation, but there's a time and place for that education .... in my opinion. Oh yeah, the pedal feel during an ABS activation with a 6000 lb trailer behind you is quite different also :-) Also, having ABS activated does not always guarantee the ability to steer.

[@P.Hoover]

This looks sooo fun!

[@OurLicencetoTravel]

Great as always! Brings back memories of working "rescue" out at Firebird lake for all the races, and skydiving on to the track for special events. Looks like you two had a wonderful time. But how did you get away from the kiddos to do it?

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Nice being "home" for that reason.

[@Eric12358]

This is blast from the past question. Did you have to turn in your Mexican visa visitor permits when you left Mexico? Can't seem to find out anywhere! Help! Lol

[@ElementaryExplorers]

I’m right there with Trish - I’d totally be gripping the seatbelt!!!

[@nursethisak]

Amazing video!!! When are you planning on heading up to Alaska?

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We should be there by July 1 and leave by Sept 1

[@nursethisak]

Keep Your Daydream We are planning on heading back up June 7th until September 1st. Hope to get a chance to catch up and meet!! :)

[@rrporter9198]

EP 1-100 and more to go.

[@jamesgriffin5828]

Another stellar video. Congrats on 100 episodes!!! And congrats on not getting run over by Tricia😃

[@ourscamplife5210]

Looked like sooooo much fun!

[@Bill14886]

Love you guys. Wish I could hide in the trunk and pop up when it's to late to turn around LOL.

[@mauriceaustin3442]

Great video guys. Thank you for sharing

[@gac914]

That was great! We now expect to see you two with that truck and trailer taking tight turns at speed and explosive use of ABS up in Alaska. . . . !! ;-)

[@kevincarlin604]

You guys had some FUN!

[@calebsamuel2214]

I really love watching y’alls videos make such great videos. I don’t even watch tv anymore why watch tv when I can come to KZbin and watch clean family videos instead of all the trash on tv

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks Caleb. We turned off the TV years ago and started watching KZbin 100% It's why we're doing this :) Had we left the TV on, I'm convinced we'd still be at home!

[@calebsamuel2214]

Can’t wait til the next time y’all are down south Louisiana or Texas so I can meet y’all keep it up. God bless

[@Home-GrownHomestead]

Wow this looks like so much fun

[@annek1226]

OMG! I am so jealous! Marc, shame on you! Never, ever drive a drag car with your hands on the inside of a stearing wheel! Control is on the outside! Lol! Looks like you had a blast! Way to go Girl!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Yeah, I was wondering if someone would notice.

[@annek1226]

Keep Your Daydream Forgiven!

[@duanehenicke6602]

Brilliant!!!! My heart was racing!

[@DennisWintjes2]

Thx for taking us along!
