It would seem that I can’t really ever escape the automotive aspect of my life. Even on my honeymoon I was hunting down content. If you follow us on Facebook, then you know I was lucky enough to come across the tail end of Ken Block’s Gymkhana 5 shoot.

So this is my last day of dragging my feet. I managed to dig up some fresh content while I was away from the site and I can’t wait to share it. In the upcoming weeks you can expect to see a lot more from us: a visit to the Fatlace Paddock, road trips, and a little Ken Block. We will also be heading to Winnipeg to support our good friend, Gonzo… plus drifting, meets and car shows to come. Until then, I will leave you with a single wheel, as it is Wednesday. But more importantly, scroll down and watch the KDF half-hour film. It is rad.

Two years is a long time, it may not seem that long to some, but if you’re dedicated to the world of drifting then 2 years for a documentary about drifting is a hell of a long time.

I can remember when the first Keep Drifting Fun film came out, it was something fresh, something smart and something that changed the way we would watch drifting in North America. The guys who started it all, Joshua Herron and Will Roegge, began producing this documentary 2 years ago, in hopes that it would do one thing, keep it all FUN.

A few months ago I had the honor to have a one-on-one interview with Will. We talked about how his career started and where it has ended up as of today. One thing that Will said that really motivated me to continue to produce more films was this, “I am where I am today in my career because people simply believed in me.” That belief has come in many different shapes and sizes for Will and Josh. From the sponsors to the viewers to the followers, Will and Josh have created a household name in the drifting community and they can be considered as true pioneers of the media world.

Now, finally, at 12:00am, the Keep Drifting Fun film was released online. So please, enjoy this film and share it with your friends, family, drift crews and whomever else you think will love it. Remember, when it all boils down to it, always make sure that you Keep Drifting Fun.

In 2010 we crisscrossed the USA interviewing drivers and covering grassroots drifting events. We wanted to know why people choose to drift, how they got into the sport, and why the love it. The answer is simple, its fun. In fact, its the most fun you can have with a car. Once you do it, you're hooked and for children of the action sports era – its easy to understand being subjective and judged. In this short form documentary, we visit some of the most vibrant and passionate drifting communities in the US. We talk with up and coming amateur drivers and pro drifters about the sport and why Keep Drifting Fun is more than just a motto – it has changed their lives.

I write this weeks edition of the rundown while being closely watched by the newest member of my family, Carson.  If you didn’t already know, my wife gave birth to our second child last Wednesday evening and it has been a whirlwind few days since.  So I hope everyone will understand that I am going to keep this weeks article on the narrow and share some thoughts and happenings.  Let’s begin…..

As you may or may not know, I got married a week ago and now I am on my honeymoon. So for the last 6 days I have been driving down the Pacific coast. Staying true to form, I’ve incorporated some car related fun into my trip. Yesterday, my wife and I swung by the Fatlace Paddocks and were given a tour by Todd, one of Fatlace’s amazing staff members. I can’t thank him enough for the unreal hospitality; it is people like him that make the car scene so great. I will post more from Fatlace and my travels later, but here is a little RWB love to hold you over until then.

This video has a certain feel to it, like I’ve seen this style somewhere before. The way it’s filmed reminds me of a top gear car intro minus Jeremy Clarkson ‘segwaying’ (if that’s a word) into abusing the hell out of it in the following minutes. Check it out and see if you agree…

Defrost brought out some of the coolest cars from across the province and with them some of the coolest wheels, like these ABC Exclusive’s.

My turn! Some of you may have heard that it was this exact day that my brand-spanking-new camera failed on me, luckily I was able to snap a few shots of those who filled the Conexus Arts Centre parking lot up before hand. I wasn’t able to get half as many pictures as I would have like to but that is technology for you, every once in a while it will crap out on you.

We are in the first full week of May and the first part of it has brought crumby weather and RyanB’s wedding day. If any of you have followed the happenings on Facebook over the past week or so you would have seen a large portion of the DODOlogic staff made the trip to Vancouver for Ryan and Jodi’s wedding this past Friday.  I wasn’t able to attend as my wife is ready to pop out child number two, so I spent the weekend on ‘baby watch’ while shenanigans took place on the left coast without me. I’m not bitter. Let’s get on with the Rundown….

Hey everyone, I’m the new kid on the block, well technically the DODO guys have used my pictures before, but now I’m actually on the team. My name is Megan, I’m a photographer that lives in Saskatoon (at the moment) and loves vehicles.

I’ve been into cars my whole life, growing up I helped my dad on his classic ’56 Sedan Delivery. Then with photographing the drifting guys at the track I started learning about their cars and decided I wanted one. So I brought over a ’95 180sx and changed it to a Kouki Sileighty S13.4. It’s my project/fun/summer daily driver. I did track it, a few months after it came over…. it was a disaster . Let’s say I met the tire wall at least once. Since then, I haven’t had it on the track, mostly because we don’t have anywhere to drift around here. I have gotten a little better at drifting I’d say, but I am a LONG way from saying I can actually drift.  Quite possibly in the future I’ll do an article on the progress of my car from start to current.

Besides my car I do have a dirt bike, it’s quite the love/hate relationship, I spend more time fixing it then riding it. The bike is a ’73 Yamaha 250TY. I’ve only gotten to ride it twice in the two years of owning it… quite sad I know, but problem after problem keeps popping up, I can’t expect much else of a bike that is almost 40 years old.

With that, here is my first go at posting. The Draggins Car Show was in Saskatoon not to long ago, and of course I took my camera. The following cars are some of the ones that stood out to me.
