While it may be a little presumptuous to suggest that drifting prodigies may exist, here is an example of getting them while they’re young. There’s no doubt that this young drifter in training has mastered the technique appropriate to his ride, whether he’s carrying a passenger or not. When it comes to power sliding and reverse steering, this one’s got it all down tight.
It’s hard to tell if this Power Wheels’ Mustang has been modified or not, but the hard plastic tires would certainly make this kind of performance possible. These are great products that deliver enough power to be exciting, while teaching skills that will be relied on in the future.
Halfway through the video, the youngster abandons the cones and takes on some freestyle stunts, including donuts around one cone at the end after dropping off his passenger. It seems this one has been studying the showmanship aspects of his idols as well.
Whether or not we’ve got another Justin Pawlak on our hands here remains to be seen, but clearly this driver is ready to step it up a grade. With her reaction to all that is going on, the young girl already shows she’s got the bones to be a flag starter in one of the professional drift series.
