One of the subchannels at the new work is TBD, a network geared toward gamer geeks and the internet generation. Tabletop game reviews, MTG sessions and the whole thing is glued together with YouTube videos. Lots and lots of YouTube videos. You know... how to drift a sportbike, wingsuit runs and funky animations.

So when I looked up and saw a drift car snaking its way among containers in a shipping port, I almost didn't give it a second glance.

Almost.

Because behind the car, was a Freightliner semi tractor. With a wing. Drifting right along with the car. It... sort of got my attention.

What I was watching was Size Matters 2, and what I was seeing was Mike Ryan and his 2400hp Pike's Peak Freightliner Semi doing a stunt sequence around Long Beach Pier. I was absolutely mesmerized. I didn't know you could light up the tires on a semi, let alone four-wheel drift it! I love the big, smoky puffs from the exhaust as he's on and off throttle in the slalom between containers. Talk about your modern-day fire breathing dragon!

The original Size Matters is a little more straightforward gymkhana course, but still awesome. And if you want to see that monster in it's native element, look no further than Mike's Pike's Peak Run in 2013. It's spectacular in its own right.
