[Music]
what's up guys mad michael
here red bull pro drifter we are down in
new zealand
this is the mad house i personally
designed this with
my wife tony this is our dream home
right at hampton downs welcome come on
through you can see
the highlight of this house is that my
backyard
is hampton downs international
motorsport park
so we fill our time pretty easily out
here at the mad house uh anything from
dropping some moneys into the pool
we've got the pip bike track out the
other side
we've got ponies you use a big
plenty to do so let's enjoy
[Music]
rolling from inside the house to
the toy shed the ultimate man caves are
the advantages of designing your own
house is you get to design a big shed
so this is full of all our off-road toys
so this is rumble the stadium truck
this is lynx truck actually so this runs
a yamaha yzf450 motor
from my moto days the old-school rise
and the pink mirrored freaking crazy
graphics and
yeah this one here is the one that i
actually when i broke my back you can
see the chips from the swing arm
from the off-road buggy jet sky or
mclaren which we
custom built and guide denver up in the
states
party in this booth like schools out
yeah so another hobby of mine is rc cars
so then the replica of the lamborghini
we've got all the different traxxas ones
we've got madburg
7.3
this would be my favorite rc car a lot
actually designed the same as a
full sized truck you know full length
rear or suspension
we've got a good fleet of motorbikes as
well we've been ripping the pit bikes
obviously my career started in moto
pretty much self-taught from the get-go
and it's nice to now have a bit of
property with some land because there's
always a dream of mine when i was a kid
yeah lincoln his friends always ripping
around me and the boys just riding pit
bikes
so yeah we'll have full motors we've got
all the like rhythm sections a lot of
hours
man i can't even i couldn't tell you how
many hours i've spent on this track with
yeah there's a lot of hours
this is probably one of the cooler rooms
of the house
definitely good for rainy days and where
you'll often find link
my son shredding so we've got a setup
here
the quality the technology and just how
accurate
these simulators are these days is
incredible so it's great for the
coordination for length
and he's proven himself he's hot
straight out of the simulator so we had
you can see link with the handbrake um
so thrustmaster and sparco have
partnered
made some really cool shifters which you
can just flick over whether you want to
shift it or a handbrake
all right so let's put up a little
server
for him and i it's pretty that ghost is
linked so i'm just
always battling with link trying to keep
with his uh
his lap times so the cool thing with
these simulators you can
just change the discipline you know you
can do links on uh
a set of courses they're drifting in the
bad boy rx8
i'm in the rumble stadium track ripping
around on eye racing
it's always good fun you know playing
with guys that you're usually competing
against
we're even just competing against like
fans which might be on the other side of
the world
yeah it's really cool
[Music]
all right so ultimate fun is on the dd
airbag
which you can literally blow up in a
couple of minutes
[Music]
as soon as you roll into hampton downs
first thing you see is the mad lab
this is mad mic motorsports the mad lab
so as we walk deeper this is the mad lab
2.0 i say 2.0 because we've been in here
for literally four weeks
it's cool to be able to showcase what we
have
and what we have going on on a
day-to-day basis and see the matlab and
all the stuff that we've built
over this this build actually was all
the trophies that have been hidden away
in boxes for
many years so i thought we'd pull them
out and
um brought back many awesome memories
this is probably my pride church for
this one here 2018
formula drift japan champion definitely
one of the highlights pride in my fleet
is mad all by far this thing is closest
to my heart
this thing has more stamps in its
passport than most humans
this is its seventh generation so it's
had seven different looks
when i get sick of the car i pull it
apart recreate
something new and something fresh for
the fans
[Music]
we're bringing down and burning up some
pvc plastic on the drift carts
newly designed drift carts by tucks
kenneth
[Music]
yes
[Music]
so yeah playing with new zealand weather
it's been sunny raining pretty much
all day but hard to beat an afternoon in
the sun
kiwi tradition is dropping manus into
the pool there's a few different
techniques the
the best one the hardest one that takes
the most commitment is like the v bomb
where you
pretty much go in as as much of a v tuck
as much as you can
you gotta land on your back pretty much
touch the water
thrust them straighten out and just pop
the hive slack
kiwi manu nothing beats it
