If there's one wacky extreme pastime that needs to be taken to the next level, it's Trike Drifting (also known as, um, Drift Triking). While we wait for updates on a mass-market Dolphin Jetpack, we'll settle for D3 trikes:Trike Drifters is dedicated to take Drift Triking to the next level and secure it's spot as one of the top adrenaline pumping sports around. With the help of D3 Trikes who have a small team of Industrial and Electrical Engineers with a passion for drifting, we have created the ultimate drifting experience by building Badass custom Drift Trikes from the ground up in a way no one has seen before. We will be manufacturing and selling custom Drift Trikes and Drift Trike Parts very soon which will change Drift Triking for ever!
No word on whether the phenomenon has landed Stateside yet: the original video was shot in New Zealand, and D3 is based Australia. Keep an eye on TrikeDrifters.com for updates on availability.

It is interesting to learn that a new extreme pastime that exists is trike drifting. This sounds intense and entertaining. It sounds like a good way for industrial and electrical engineers to use their knowledge. Something to consider would be to ensure correct safety equipment is worn when participating in this activity. http://stolentrikes.com/
Thanks again

Love the article and greatly appreciate the support. Make sure you check out our new video as we have put the first ever Drift Trikes around a Go Kart track.

Imagine ripping these things up around your local car park, hitting ramps and pulling sick drifts on the polished concrete.
You could start a new sport with underground head to head battles - The Fast And The Furious - Tokyo Drift Trikes (pronounce in an Asian accent for maximum effect!).
Who knows you might get that Nathalie Kelley chick to rock up and wave the checkered flag or something!
Top work guys, looks like a sick project, can't wait to get my hands on one and get my drift on like a pro!
