How did you transition from wanting to be a MotoX rider to becoming a Drifter?

Well I had a pretty big stack on my dirt so my old man sorta stopped funding it as much because it was just too hard on the body, so I kinda made a joke about getting a drift car and he seemed stoked with that idea and was like “sweet.”

So what is your daily driver?

R32 Nissan Skyline

What is your dream car?

That would have to be BMW F30 M3

What is your most memorable moment in your drifting career?

Probably my first battle against someone where i got real close!

Who was that against?

Could have been Liam(Burke) but I actually think it was my brother(Cameron Dinsdale,) it was his first track day so it was easier to get closer

What are some of the challengers you have faced when it come to drifting?

Money and time, it takes a lot of time, Tash isn’t always happy it because I spend a lot of time in the shed, time is probably it, drifting and cars suck up a lot of time.

What is the fastest speed you have driven?

You don’t really look at the speedo when your going that fast.

Probably 260km

What about the fastest speed sideways?

Probably 180km

Who is your favorite driver?

Probably Gaz Whiter! Just a boss! Comes out and kills it
