You ’ ve mentioned that you are into cars , does that mean you consider yourself a petrol head ? Lol , yeah I would say I ’ m a petrol head against my will , because I ’ m surrounded by so many of them .
You are also involved in drifting ; tell us a bit more please . Well the drifting side of things and the project that I ’ m doing , the SR4A ( Safer Roads 4 All ) is linked together . I ’ ve being blessed to be surrounded by awesome people , from our neighbourhoods and communities as well , because before I got involved within the drifting scene , I was on tour constantly . I was in a very one dimensional space , until drifting came along I attended a couple of shows on the grass roots , I ’ ve been checking out some of the local guys come out and spin their cars , and through the TV show I ’ ve been exposed to it more and more . I grew up you know with Indiana and Strandfontein Pavilion as a kid and checking out the pop-a-wheelie stuff going on , but ever since drifting came along , I was just freaking blown away . How can you keep a car going sideways , and technically and logically , it doesn ’ t make sense to be able to do that . So that drew me in , number one you know was people being able to do that . We formed a crew called the “ Drift Squad ” and the cool thing is that the whole crew kinda shared the sentiment as well . You know it ’ s not just about us , it ’ s not just about cars , we got to do something with what we have to be able to plant seeds and be able to do something in the community as well . So that helped a lot , you know to keep me , if you want to call it , more devoted to the scene . So as the crew grew I grew and eventually I started getting into movies and ads as a stunt driver . We started doing big shows , through the crew and kind of venturing down the avenues of becoming more involved with organising of events and so forth . So here I am still going sideways and I ’ m rolling out this initiative SR4A ( Safer Roads 4 All ).
After all these years , do you still enjoy wrecking the decks ? Man , I ’ m enjoying it now more than I ’ ve ever enjoyed it before . It ’ s more challenging now than ever , because of the technology , because of accessibility to the music and because I ’ m DJ Ready D , you know I ’ m in everybody ’ s sights . I ’ m kinda walking around with a target and these red dots ( lol ) all over you constantly , so you have to be on your “ A ” game all the time . I mean I ’ m realistic , I ’ m not going to be there forever , but for me it ’ s more a case of …. Me outside of Ready D …. trying to develop as a
