Is doing insane shit with vehicles some innate quality of all Saudi Arabs?

There's nothing to do in Saudi Arabia so they have to work with what they have. Do you think there's a Yogurt Story or bowling alley nearby? THERE AIN'T.
 
Oh jesus haha, I think it's just a thing Arabs in general. Never saw drifting when I was in Yemen, but they did all sorts of other crazy shit and it was common to see people sit on open car windows while driving.
 
I dont think that drift was intentional.
And pretty much every country has "hoons" doing some crazy shit.
Saudis just seem to really love spinning and two wheel sailing 4x4s

There was a famous (among Tuners i guess) DVD from TX i forget the name of the team but they recorded a "documentary" of their street racing and drifting on the streets, and i think thats most insane shit ive ever seen done on roads...much worse than even the Saudis spinning.
I was in TX the same time they released the video and when i went back home everyone asked me are all americans crazy with their cars....simple answer NO, you just get a couple "hoons" who record their antics.

When Tōge become famous outside Japan everyone starting thinking the Japs were crazy for driving their cars like that in those locations....I stopped getting shocked by hoons a long time ago....until i see someone do some truly crazy shit, i just marvel at how ballsy these guys are.

Every part of the world has its own car culture, but fucking around with cars is universal, how we fuck around is the only thing that actually changes.
 
Are some of those "trick cars" /modified cars?
I mean, I wouldn't think that even stunt men can make a car drive on 2 wheels just by swaying the car, not to mention it being stable enough to continue to drive like that, even with people moving in it, removing wheels and stuff.*
Also, shouldn't the wheel(s) in the air continue to spin?

...and will they put them back on before the car comes down again?


*not shown in the video are hundreds of attempts leading to fatal crashs (?)
 
It's a good thing they don't let women drive there. Can you imagine how dangerous their roadways would be then?!?!
 
Any videos of these people crashing and dying cause they're fucking idiots? Please post em

Holy shit! If I didn't know any better I'd say they do it for the same reason guys everywhere else all over the world do it; to pick up chicks.... but that can't be it.

The cars are pretty much stock, maybe a couple extra horses under the hood but thats about it.
Patrols and LAndcruisers are relatively easy to get sailing, the hard part is balancing it on the two wheels....im sure someone will post a vid of the interior when they are two wheeling the driver will be constantly adjusting the steering wheel....its not like they two wheel and then just let the car roll, the driver works his ass off keeping the car on two wheels.

And yes they put the wheels back on once the "stunt" is done.

P.S When the car gets on two wheels the driver puts the car in neutral and taps the break once....this stops all the wheels that arent on the ground, letting the rest of the pit crew fuck with the wheels....once the wheels are back on, he puts the car back in gear with the diff lock on he can just accelerate and keep going forever he the road permits.

Holy shit. This makes that Meek Mill Bike Life video look like child's play. And, that video was pretty damn awesome. These guys are nuts.
 
I mean is that what's hot in the Middle East right now? Working on your engine while you're ghost riding the whip? I mean fuck, do your thing bro.
