    West Coast Drifting OG Tommy Roberts | Goodest Cast EP.89

    Tommy Roberts is a West Coast Drifting Icon. You have undoubtedly seen one of his signature gold S13’s over the years. His drifting style mixed with car style has caught the attention of some of your favorite car builders and drivers over the years. Tommy is a humble guy who after all these years is still finding ways to give back to drifting. He is a Hot Pit Judge, he works at Part Shop Max, and is still building extremely well done cars. We talk about his influences, his goals within drifting, and the early days of running around with Matt Powers. He was able to compete in China in the early days and has had some crazy experiences. Drifting is a lucky to have Tommy Roberts around, and we should all strive to give back to the thing that’s given us so much.   Guest: https://www.instagram.com/tommyroberts/ Sponsors: Use “goodest” at checkout for a deal with all of them! https://tirestreets.com/goodest  https://fuelab.com/  https://www.chasebays.com/  https://kanseiwheels.com/ Goodest Co: https://goodestco.com get parts, merch and a bunch of other stuff!

    Animal Style Origins with Ryan Kado & Julian Jacobs | Goodest Cast EP. 87

    Julian Jacobs and Ryan Kado have been pushing themselves within the sport and the sport itself for well over two decades. It’s always been for the love of driving hard, building cars that push the limits of cool, and doing it all with a smile. Sitting down and recapping all the insane experiences they have had all because of their love for drifting is nothing but humbling. These two have always been about driving hard, putting on a show, and sharing the energy they love about drifting with as many people as they can. That’s what Super D is all about. With Animal Style now reaching fifteen years, they are still finding ways to keep pushing the teams driving and impact on the sport. I am lucky to call these two friends and to have shared some of the incredible ride with them.    Guests: https://www.instagram.com/ryankado/ https://www.instagram.com/animaljuju/ Sponsors:  https://goodest.short.gy/303protect for the best car protectant you can buy https://koruworks.com/ 15% off their Koru products using “goodestboi” https://tirestreets.com/goodest “goodest" for a discount on the whole site! https://goodest.short.gy/tweed_auto_garage To export parts, cars, or anything on the Japan side https://www.instagram.com/golden_era_engine_lab/ Goodest Co: https://goodestco.com (grab some merch to support the podcast!)
