Heh, pretty cool. Nice trick taking off the rear wheel while they are on two wheels, obviously had the lug nuts loosened before hand though.

Why are people so fascinated by this stuff? Drive on snow/ice for 5 months/year and you do this stuff to. The techniques are easy. Mastering like the people in the vid probably takes time, but it's not like you've mastered the 3 point shot or some sort of unattainable thing. Anyone can learn todo this stuff.

The reverse turn (AKA bootlegger's turn) is actually pretty easy. The rest of it...well...not so much;)

Ok, so post a video of you doing all that. Yeah, I can do some pretty cool power slides and I've used my e-brake to park before, but not in between other cars, not synchronized with other cars, and I have never even drove on two wheels before... weak, I know.

AWESOME. :D Love the Izuzu commercial also.

Makes me wonder...DAMN it must be hard to do this stuff...In a JET

I have a new found respect for the Thunder Birds and Blue Angels.

I want to know how he kept the car on two wheels while he was moving around so much.. you'd be shifting the weight way too much for the car to never even rock a little bit.

There was a driver along with the guy changing the tires, so the driver was compensating.
