  • Kustom Kulture Forever // Germany

    In 2018 I visited a lot of Custom Culture shows. This story was originally published on Speedhunters, so here’s an overview. Custom culture events have never been as popular in Europe as they are right now. The hot rodding culture that defined 1950s America has grown immensely in the time since, and now it’s conquering the hearts of car and bike lovers right across the world. European faithful made their way to Zeche Ewald, an abandoned coal mine location in Germany, for arguably the biggest custom culture show on the continent: Kustom Kulture Forever. As someone who’s attended a lot of shows, I can…

  • Interview with Fredrik

    Fredrik Sørlie got Internet exposure while hooning his plucky Toyota Cressida at Gatebil events and at the Nurburgring. The guy is actually tied deep in Norwegian automotive culture, being an ex-racing driver, a drifter, a precision driver and driving a badass black Mercedes with a Russian Arm on top of it. We talked about his highlights of 2016, his Honda NSX and driving skills. – Where are you from? – I am from Oslo, Norway – Do you enjoy living in Norway? Never thought of going anywhere else? I’m just from Estonia myself and I know that cold winters, short…

  • Interview with Taryn

    Taryn Kelly got famous with her blog “I Heart Stance” and later was invited to work for Speedhunters. Right now she’s establishing her project Japan Car Culture and work for Blackbird Automotive in Hong Kong. I had the opportunity to talk with her. We discussed Japan, car culture and inbound marketing. – Where are you from? – I was born in Papakura in Auckland, New Zealand, but the town of Whangarei (further up north where my parents now live) feels more like ‘home’. Three months ago I moved to Hong Kong where I’m living at the moment. – What was your…

  • Interview with Larry

    Larry Chen is one of the early contributors at Speedhunters. He is also an inspiration to many motorsport photographers in the World. I had the opportunity to talk with him. We discussed his project cars, photojournalism, Gatebil and shooting against the sun. – Where are you from? – I am from Los Angeles California – JPG or RAW? – I bet most of your readers wonder why anyone would shoot Jpeg over RAW. Well I understand that from the news photography side of things time is of the essence. While camera technology is very advanced, the infrastructure surrounding the delivery of photos and getting…

  • Estonian Drift GP // You Have to Wait for It / 😛

    Some of you may wonder why I’m not putting the latest review from Drift Allstars Round 4 in Estonia.

  • Remembering Gatebil Rudskogen

    In 2013 I went to Gatebil for the first time and caught the bug.. I came back in 2014 and already booked the trip for 2015. I seen Gatebil action on “Getaway in Stockholm” DVDs and never understood what is actually happening. Top rated car media blessed this event and as soon as I got there I agreed with them. I know why it’s the best speed festival on Earth – because Scandinavians. People in the North don’t know how to drink moderate, don’t know how to keep a moderate number of cars on the track, don’t know how to…
