"Police are looking for a group of 'trike drifters'
By Tony Reid
It is called ‘trike drifting’, where grown up men build their own adult sized trikes, and embark on a hair-raising journey - some in bare feet.
And this video of the trike drifters was filmed right here in Auckland by film maker Devin Graham.
“I heard about these people that did drifting on these tricycles that they rigged and what-not, so I got their phone number and contacted them – like ‘hey, I love what you guys are doing and I’d love to make a youtube video on you’,” says Mr Graham.
Filming took three hours and Mr Graham got as close to the action as possible - for the benefit of those at home.
“In order to get the cool epic shots you have to throw yourself in danger – the closer you can get to the action…”says Mr Graham
The last time 3 News checked 4.8 million people had viewed the trike drifting video - including Police, who plan to prosecute these trike bandits for breaching the Land Transport Act.
And it's not the first time trike drifters have had a brush with the law – last August a Christchurch man was charged with careless use of a vehicle.
If Police find these men, more arrests are likely.
