00:00I've been a Ford cop all my life. I put a 350 Nissan engine in it. It's also a V6.
00:13Auntie U, it's a nickname of my mother. She was always with me everywhere I went.
00:20The sport of spinning made famous by this very vehicle here and its driver, the very
00:25well-known Mr. Eddie Rasta. How are you doing brother man?
00:32Good, good. Nice to have you here in my ghetto.
00:55We wanted raw. It must look out of control, but we're actually in control.
01:25Let's talk about that a little bit, right? Because one of the people was telling me that
01:38every time that your car engine switches on, the entire community comes together.
01:42You must see when this car starts and the kids are out of school. It is like, you know
01:50on their faces, if I burst a tire and the cars are standing there and light is from
01:54maybe like a kilometer away from here, it's coming and running here and the tire is already
02:00flat. It makes my heart so broken. I have to tell my guys, put on other tires so we
02:04can go spin again. Because the community in my area, they love spinning. I never had a
02:09complaint from anyone, from the oldest to the youngest, even here.
02:18Is it possible for someone like me to learn how to spin?
02:20Let's do it.
02:22The more acceleration you give on it, it makes so it can slip. Both wheels can slip.
02:28But if you slow, the one is pushing and the other one is like pulling. So it does that.
02:34So the car won't be able to move unless you give acceleration on it.
02:44Full lock, full lock.
02:50Go, go, go, go.
03:00Yes, man. Yes, man.
03:02That's the new Tesla.
03:04That's the new Tesla.
03:08You did it.
03:10You did it.
03:12Yes.
03:14No, that's quiet.
03:16That's quiet.
03:18Yeah.
03:20That is amazing.
03:26Yes, you've unlocked a level in me, man.
03:28That is amazing.
03:30One of your brothers was telling me that kids learn how to become mechanics because they see you building the cars.
03:37As you can see, in the area, in the community we live in, you know, gangsterism is high.
03:43Crime rate is high here.
03:45And, you know, sometimes the police captain, he comes to me, he told me one day that I'm the peacekeeper here.
03:52So I asked him, why?
03:54Because he said, yeah, when you spin your car, everybody's watching you.
03:58And there's no gang fight, nothing going on as long as you spin this car.
04:03Our kids around here, they have nothing to do, you know.
04:06There's no facility for our young kids, especially a role model to look up to, to progress in life.
04:12So they do it to me because I am a mechanic around here.
04:16Everybody knows me as Eddie Rasta, you know.
04:18And my mother teaches me one thing about small ladies.
04:21They have a bigger future as we, as adults.
04:25The ladies, they love spinning.
