Animal Style Origins with Ryan Kado & Julian Jacobs | Goodest Cast EP. 87
The Goodest Cast - Hangout with the Drift CommunityShow Notes
Julian Jacobs and Ryan Kado have been pushing themselves within the sport and the sport itself for well over two decades. It’s always been for the love of driving hard, building cars that push the limits of cool, and doing it all with a smile. Sitting down and recapping all the insane experiences they have had all because of their love for drifting is nothing but humbling. These two have always been about driving hard, putting on a show, and sharing the energy they love about drifting with as many people as they can. That’s what Super D is all about. With Animal Style now reaching fifteen years, they are still finding ways to keep pushing the teams driving and impact on the sport. I am lucky to call these two friends and to have shared some of the incredible ride with them.

More from The Goodest Cast - Hangout with the Drift Community
Jamo is Drift Team Animal Style’s newest member, his driving style, car style, and presence made that an easy choice. For someone so young to not only be driving but building cars at the level he is there is no excuse other than dedication. We talk about the struggles of trusting the wrong head gasket and SR20DET issues that no one wants to have. Jamo is just getting started but it was great to sit down and hear his story so far. We couldn’t be more excited to see where his story goes.
Reese Marin is the newest Formula Drift judge, but that does not mean he’s new to drifting. Resse has been around drifting for decades. This man lives and breathes the sport, as a driver, as a coach, as a judge, and as a spotter. He is passionate about what makes drifting cool to him and is an advocate for keeping drifting both fun and hardcore.
Jack is another example of the uniquely great people you meet through drifting. He and his team mates from Hit and Run Drift Club really made drifting fun. They created iconic videos with the help of Scott Mitchell that made waves in the drift world. Their stuff really inspired me when I was getting into drifting. It was all just friends having fun and building cool cars to go shred with, rowdy trips to Japan that looked like a dream. It was something to aspire to. They still run their event called Glory Days in Australia, and Jack has been branching out and exploring drifting in a very different way in some unexpected places.
Jimmy Oakes is a Connecticut based car builder, BMXer, and driver. He also hosts a Youtube channel covering all his car builds and trips driving all over the world. Jimmy is also a part of Front Street Drift Team, which is one of the premiere drift teams in the US known for their clean S Chassis builds and aggressive driving style. Over my time getting to know Jimmy it is obvious this man lives and breathes drifting. The level of his chase driving skill shows that and is proof BMX kids pick up drifting quickly.
Gregg Bucell joins us again to talk about life after Koruworks, where to get them, and his new unlocked achievements in drifting. We did a Q&A as well which is always a good time with Gregg, he’s a great story teller and always one entertaining dude. Gregg is always good for a laugh and a hot take so buckle up.
