Drive Like a Russian: Drifting on The Far East | Easy Russian 106

Hi, friends! I'm Marina, I'm in Kamchatka, and this is a video about Kamchatka drift. I decided to try it. Do girls drift? I'm not a specialist, but... I'm not afraid of some people. I'm in Yelizovo now, this is a place where drifters meet, and now they are training here, because the day after tomorrow there will be a race between the guys who live here. I saw for the first time how drifting looks like here, and I even rode with two different drivers. All the drifters are assembling their cars themselves, and let's see how it all looks like, what kind of people they are, what they talk about, how they fix their cars, and, most importantly, how they drive. Call Ruslan, and Ruslan can probably... Awesome! And who is Ruslan? What does Ruslan do? He's also a drifter, as it were. Great, now they'll call Ruslan, who is a drifter, and I'll ask him everything. I'm Marina, nice to meet you. Ruslan is the hero of our video, a racer, he assembles his own car. How do you describe to a foreigner what drifting is? It's a controllable skid, it's the control of the car in a skid. Is there any main word or three words? You use them all the time, three words for drifters. Yes. Two words. And a pretext. Yes, and a pretext. I've already crashed more than one car, two in total. Well, everything, the car broke down. And how are you? Yes, so-so. Did you hit a pole or something? A wall. The tunnel was wrapped up, everything was torn off. Why didn't you come up to me? Drifting came to the Far East from Japan, just like most cars that were brought here and continue to be brought here. In recent years, much less, due to sanctions, due to costs, due to important duties. But in the 90s, when this culture was just born, Japanese cars cost much less than all the rest. Well, and objectively, Japan is much closer to Kamchatka than Europe or even Central Russia. And in general, all the drift went from Vladivostok and Kamchatka, there, closer to the center. Because Japan is nearby. You could have called earlier, please throw me a motor for 40,000 rubles on a steamer, you could have thrown it when there were no sanctions, and it would have floated. And there, this problem is still there, in fact. I was in Crimea too, they ride Zhiguli there. Why? Because you went somewhere, the lever broke, that's it. You can only take it either from Central Russia, somewhere in Novosibirsk, there are a lot of Japanese there, or Vladivostok. Zhiguli is Zhiguli. A legendary Russian car that can be repaired anywhere and with anything. And I have never seen so many Japanese cars as in Kamchatka. By the way, all the cars here are right-handed. You wouldn't be worried at all? I wouldn't be worried at all. In short, I decided to ride, and now I will just die of fear, dear subscribers, all for you, in order for you to have fun. What is the high for you? Here in this? Yes, we'll show you. So, let's go? Roma! Do you know me? Do you feel the same when you learn Russian? I understand. In Kamchatka, I first got acquainted with the culture of drifting and, in fact, the Far East in general. And I was very interested to start learning Japanese. Can you imagine how the first drifters felt, who, not knowing Japanese, tried to buy and transport a car from Japan to Russia? We think it was much more difficult than for us, because we have modern resources to learn foreign languages. For example, Lingopay. This is a cool service like Netflix, only for learning foreign languages. I decided to start with the basics, with Japanese myths. After all, drifting jargon is something more advanced. By the way, there are double subtitles in each video. How do you know Russian? It's super, super convenient. And if you click on a specific word, it will be pronounced, you can repeat it again and, in general, remember and then check yourself again. Lingopay has more than 3,000 TV series and films in 13 different languages, including, of course, Russian. With Lingopay, guys, you will finally understand what it means to roll up the suspension and another professional jargon, which I myself do not know yet. And to be as confident in learning different foreign languages, including Russian, like this driver, be sure to test Lingopay. It's very easy to try. The first 7 days are free, and if you like it, then a discount of 55%. The promo code is in the description. Well, let's go back to the track. Wow, thank you. Thank you. Guys, I'm shocked. I'm just wow, wow. I have no words. Ruslan says the main thing is to be relaxed. I don't know how. I didn't do it at all. Are there any methods to relax from Ruslan? Especially for our subscribers? Don't listen to anyone. This is the most important method. The very first method. Advisors, helpers. They'll tell you 50 times, why do you need this? Here. I got in the car, thought about it, breathed, turned on the background music a little bit. How did you give the hitch? First, make friends with the car. Make a suspension. The car must be controllable. And then only build powerful motors. Does the car have any clique? This one? No. It's just a felt shotgun, that's all. You have a car, it's a constructor. It's like Lego. You build it yourself. It's a cool car, historically. Because it was in D1GP. It's a cool Japanese championship. There are partitions, certain mounts, mounting places for the frame. Did you weld it yourself? No, no, no. It's done by specially trained people. Because you need to know all these points. It's not like you'll get into an accident, and your seam will burst, and the same pipe will kill you in the car. Seryoga, if you pull the handbrake here, you'll fit perfectly in here. Well, from the first cone. You just need to accelerate. That's it. What's most important in drifting, I guess, is that it's not just a sport. Gymnastics, taekwondo, I don't know. Everyone doesn't care about each other. And here it happens that you went somewhere, wrote in a group, and then a bunch of people just run to you. Anton didn't even know that he had a car. He was at work, you know. The guys just know that he doesn't have time. They just went there, assembled it, painted it, started it, and came to them. The car was assembled in two days. It was like this. Did you sell your car? Yes. How do you feel? Fine. I still have a spare. Now there are no problems. And I don't swear at my wife. Why did you swear at your wife? Because she's always in the garage. Actually, Ruslan is a diver by profession. And he came to Kamchatka from Crimea. But he stayed, like many people here. Dad, why did you stay in Kamchatka? I didn't stay, I came here. I met them and I can't leave now. They called Kamchatka the capital of drifting. Why? Because there are a lot of cool guys here. First of all, there are a lot of cars here. Really a lot of cars. You can come to a party with 30 cars like this. There is no such thing anywhere in Russia. It is passed down from generation to generation. I go to work at 10 p.m. I go to the garage. I work in the garage until 3 a.m. I collect this car. I go home, get up at 6 a.m. and go to work. In this mode, I can live for 4 months. Someone prefers to drink beer on the couch in front of the TV. And someone enjoys this. It's nice to talk to you. Thank you. It's nice to talk to you too. Do girls drive? I'm not a sexist, but it's not a woman's thing. Why? To be objective, it's not a woman's thing. For this, you need a mind. For this, you need skills. For this, you need a reaction. For this, you need agility. We were driving today. It doesn't develop. I had a steering wheel jammed twice. It jams when it gets stuck. You can't pull it out. You can't turn the wheels. When we drove together twice, I pulled it out twice. A girl can't do it. She just doesn't have enough strength. A strong girl can do it. I don't have enough strength either. I'm serious. If I didn't pull it out, we would have gone to the vegetable garden. I'm waiting for comments from girls who squeeze 140 kg from their breasts in response to Ruslan. Girls, come on. Come to Kamchatka. There is not a single girl who is a world champion in Formula 1. There is not a single girl who is a world champion in the WRC rally. Maybe it's not about strength, but it's difficult for them to get there. No, it's not difficult. If you have money, it's not difficult for you to get anywhere. It's just that it costs 15-20 million rubles Despite the fact I was warned that once you come to Kamchatka, you won't want to leave. It's cool here. There are different people here. Why are there different people? Probably because the city is small and the edge is small. Everyone knows each other. Everyone helps each other. People who drift take it seriously. It's a real sport. They participate in competitions. I express my respect to them. Write in the comments if you are a drifter yourself or maybe you are interested in some other extreme sport. Or did you recognize one of the cars that was in this video? I will be very interested to hear what you think about all this. As it seems to you now, real life in Kamchatka looks like. See you in Kamchatka!
