way up internet we had some snow the other day and i took the screw tank out and we had
a lovely time, now i did say in my top comment is there any other of my vehicles that i've made
that you think i should also take out in the snow and somebody had a fantastic idea
they said furze, get your drift trike put spikes on the rear wheels swap the front wheel for a ski,
and i'm like that is fantastic idea so that's what we're going to do......
yes i've just noticed my shirt needs ironing welcome to the Colin Furze channel
oh these things are so awesome, this one's been thrashed up and down airfields and all over the
place it's had x formula one driver martin brundle ride it i've made an electric version which i took
to rome and went around the formula e track and in the first lockdown i showed you you
could make one without a welder just bolting it all together so what we're gonna do with this.
Right the front wheel's coming out, we need to put a ski in and luckily enough i have a ski. I have
had this knocking around this house for about 10 years i saw someone go to chuck it out in a dust
cart and i was like "you're not throwing that out i'll have it" and it's just been getting in the
way for ages but no, today we're actually going to use it. And then i've got these little shock
absorber bits which will kind of sit down the back somehow because you have to kind of keep the ski
like facing upwards all the time and then it kind of moves around. Right and then of course we've
got to put some spikes sticking out of the drift sleeves, pretty simple really let's get cracking
Yes finished, suspension feels about right, i've added a skid plate, spikes look lovely.
Now these used to be one of the safest machines i've ever made you could be tearing down a runway
you could spin it at high speed you pretty much couldn't flip it but now
i've got a spiky thing which could jab into the ground, the skid blade
could actually cut my feet off and then if i do fall off it i've got a load of spikes on
the wheels which can tear my skin and arms to pieces, so it's kind of got a little bit more
furze hasn't it. Right we need a test we need some snow....... yeah oh yeah yeah this is a machine
i think we need a snow dance
right we've got some snow is it gonna work
and i've run over it .gopro down however he's actually still recording, unbelievable. oh dear
we've snapped the chain if anything it's got too much grip but it does work. What a machine. Okay
made some adjustments we've fixed the chain and we've like ground off the central bolts because
they were quite tall i think if anything have too much grip so we'll see how we get on with this
right
i think i'm a bit mucky, but with no mud guards stuff flying everywhere thats drift ski.
What an adaption now this thing worked exactly as i hoped it would the only thing we had to
play around with was the grip levels. Now naturally anything with three wheels and no
differential doesn't want to steer but of course when they're drift trikes they have no rear grip
you can just steer them on the power but of course this thing has got grip but it's got
so much grip it caught me out because the first time i pulled away on it Chucked off the back
if you want to see more drift trikes i've done loads of these on my channel,
i've done jet powered ones i've done electric ones of course there's this one the petrol one
and of course if you want to make your own i've even done a tutorial video how you can make one
with no welder the whole thing all bolts together and if you do make your own one you can get Colin
Furze sticker kits on the colinfurzeshop.com There we are that's drift Trike ski trikes
ski drifts can't remember what i've called it. excellent subscribe see you in the next video.
