Wow! Way to go Abbitt for taking 9th! Not bad for a 17 year old kid that’s only been doing it for 2 years.
Thanks to Abbitt and all the hard working media folks that volunteer so much time to promote the sport. AW Films rules!

You guys dropped the bar hard once again on this one.
Hankook “Thank you Friends !”
Hankook “Dirty Drift”
Taka Aono 2009 Recap
DA contests (there is a bunch of these but one of them should have been on this list)
Kawabata crazy angle (not even a novice drift fan cant say they didnt play this video over and over for 15 minutes
You guys are really lagging in the post season wrecked… shape it up
I would have added links but it thinks its spam
Maybe you some of you with negative comments should read the categories videos were scored on……Just a thought, video views and external links were the biggest factor by far for the content.
Were is josh h. ecb2 video? East coast Common!!
why would you put a clip of an accident in the top 10 drift films? i don’t care if it has tons of hits that video shouldn’t be on the same list as the rest of the videos. come on guys, you are better than that.
ECB2 should def be on this list the edit is sick and it was for a cause
J. Herron D1GP Anaheim coverage
W. Roegge All Star Bash V
Mob Theory M. Essa @ Irwindale
W. Roegge DMGGMASD
Kansai Allstars aka. Drift Gangbang
Abbitt defiantly should have placed top 2 if not first these videos suck… I’ve seen way better from this year.
Kawabatas insane backwards entry for video of the year then. Guess it’s good wrecked doesn’t cover Ken Block more. Peoples choice awards poll please.
what happened to underground drifting this site was suppost to do when andy helped start it?
based off of most views? hell I hear batlgrounds vids have 10 billion impressions, why isn’t it #1?
:-/
not tryin to be a hater, but wrecked use to wreck house. this list does not have any house wrecking.
waaaaaahhhhhhhh my sackriding drift nuts hurt! my favorite video isnt on here so im gonna cry about it! i swear some drift fans must have the collected intelligence of a single pubic hair.
haha wow how did i make it on this list?!?!?!
where is Josh and Will’s work??? definately way better than mine!
but thanks guys!
Josh’s video from seattle was epic/unorthodox, but your was good as well.
has anyone seen the Clash video that was done on DeathMachines.net? just out of curiosity? that video is really dope.
Clash makes some gooood stuff, but nothing they did excited me greatly in 09. Their redbull video was dope!
How about T2 Films all Tim’s edits are great?
