If you ever want to feel like you’ve wasted your entire life, look no further than drifter Nikolass Bertans. Bertans is only 12 and he’s already better at sliding around his car than I can ever hope to be.
Here he is drifting the demanding Bikernieki Racetrack like a boss, getting his first win, and reminding me throughout the whole thing that I’ve completely blown through 31 years of doing much less awesome stuff.
Seriously, what have I been doing with my life? Wherever all that time went, clearly I wasted it. This kid’s less than half my age, can just barely see over the dashboard and still drifts his BMW like a pro. The guy’s teacher is world-renowned drift badass Kristaps Blušs, the guy responsible for this insanely close Formula Drift run and numerousraddrift videos, for Pete’s sake.

Bertans already has burnouts and donuts nailed at an age where I was still falling off my bicycle.
He’s coming for you, Kristaps. Fair warning.
