Guys, I'm 99.9% sure he had someone around the blind corners watching out for cars/pedestrians. A bit wreckless, none the less. Still, good fun! Thanks again, to the people that actually could appreciate good drifting as it is quite a skilled form of driving!

I don't care how many spotters he has, unless you close down the road its a stupid idea. Even then its not a bright idea.
What are the spotters going to do, stop traffic? Are they going to yell and waive their arms? If he loses control or he over-counters and a car is coming the other way at or above the speed limit... game over.
Either way, there is no reason for him to drift on the public road in the first place. You're also more likely to damage property or seriously hurt your car or yourself. Overcounter in a lot and you spin out the other way, over-counter on a road and you put your car in a ditch or into a tree. People drag race on public roads when tracks are closed, they encounter a random person, etc, they have little to no alternative. You don't need to drift on a public road in any circumstance, just find a damn parking lot if you have to do it.
I will say that this person had clean, smooth, lines and a good angle. He could use more wheel spin and much more smoke though.

you got skills. i would like to see what you could do with a camaro or vette. but kind of dangerous man on a public street like that. make sure you watch it..... good job though
first off, the name, SUISLIDE = 
im not a fan of drifting, i think its stupid to waste tires, but i wont diss it til i try it. ill be done wiht my set of rears next spring so maybe ill give it a shot then. kicking out the *** on a turn if no ones around is good enough for me.
that guy is an idiot for drifting on public roads, plain and simple. hes got skills, ill give him that. real drifters get different ratio steering ive heard so id like to see how much easier it is like that, since 1 turn would probably be lock to lock. that camaro sounded sooo much better. id rather see/hear a muscle car drift than an import.
oh and that car isnt rice. gay paint maybe, but it at least has a turbo and no giant wing and whatnot.

He's ok not amazing but he's decent his entry and exit aren't consistent and cant keep the throttle consistent, other than that he's ok, but I agree with doing it on public roads like that
..That would be awesome to be in the front passenger seat. 
for the record
