I\’ve been eagerly awaiting the full length cut of this story featuring Magnus Walker. It did not disappoint in the slightest. The cinematography is gorgeous, the story is concise, and Magnus as a focal point is just downright interesting. I think it is pretty damn safe to say that I would get along with this dude. WELL. Bravo to all involved in producing this. I think it is outstanding.

If this were my reel… it would be game over – I win. This isn\’t my reel… but it is still game over – they win.
Incredible.

For years now, I\’ve always seen photos of the mystically bearded man standing right up against the wall at Long Beach as drift cars blast, smash, and crash right by him. His unflinching courage and never-back-down attitude always had me wondering… \”WHO IS THIS MAN?!?\” Now, thanks to Will, Skylar, Josh, and Hert… we no longer have to guess. He is indelibly awesome, and has easily solidified himself as a part of American driftlore.

My \”Year of the Beard\” ended in a massive battle. You know, the kind that involves switchblades, rope, and Eddie Van Halen guitar solos. This photo was snapped one year to the day.

Farewell, friend… until we meet again…
