Video from Just Cause 2 captured by gamer!

The first video with the 301 platform running Nitro Stunt Racing, from Gameseed (www.nitrostuntracing.com). Special thanks to the Gameseed guys for taking the time to build in motion output for us, and for making an insanely fun game! (Note: The video seems to be skippy at times… I’m not sure what’s up with that. Anyone who knows me will know my attitude toward video encoding, so we might have to live with the skips…)

Tray Drifting Video:
Tray drifting is when people put food trays on the rear wheels of front wheel drive cars then slide them around on wet pavement. This can be very fun to both participate in and to watch. So why would people want to put food trays on their cars in the first place?

Well it is a pretty simple explanation. Front wheel drive cars are unable to perform a proper drift because there is no power being directly supplied to the rear wheels. Because most young people who are quite interested in drifting only own hand me down front wheel drive cars they were forced to become creative when wanting to enjoy the sideways fun filled action of performing drifts.

One day somewhere in Japan, some kid figured out that if he could make the rear wheels of his front wheel drive car slide, he could perform some sort of quasi-drift. Thus tray drifting was born. Tray drifting is popular in both Japan and the United States and is gaining in popularity worldwide.

If you’ve never been able to witness a true tray drifting spectacle then you’ve been missing out. If you’re looking to participate in a tray drifting competition you should definitely check out your local automotive forums and hangouts. Due to the not so legal nature of performing tray drifting their locations tend to be underground.
