About Me

..HYPERFEST 07 FOOTAGE - EDITED BY ZACH THE FAG...My name is Mike Swartz AKA Mikie. Yeah, I'm the guy that made the WHIPLASH dvds and I did all those big burnouts with the WHIPLASH burnout car. Check it out at www.WhiplashDVD.com . My general goal in life is to live comfortablly without having a real job. I work on cars, play poker and pimp myself out when necessary.The Whiplash drift truck is my focus right now so I've been taking it to every Drift competition I can and trying to keep it in one piece (It gets its ass kicked regularly) Check it out at www.TheDriftTruck.com-Mikie...I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

I'd like to meet:

Skinny girls, not fat chics.

Music:

I have a Sirius radio - Faction (the skater channel), Backspin (old school rap), and punk 29 (yeah, punk rock) are my favorite channels. I like a lot of rap, hard rock, punk, etc. I cen even jam to some country music like Hank Jr, but I'm not really into music like a lot of people are - I dont get into it enough to be in a fan club or even buy CDs.These groups have music in Whiplash.

Movies:

Pee Wee's Big Adventure is my all time favorite movie! Other favorites are: National Lampoon's Vacation (WallyWorld), Friday, Mad Max 2, Haggard, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Happy Gilmore, Smokey and the Bandit, Fear of a Black Hat, and all of the Austin Powers movies. Oh, and Whiplash 1 and 2 of course.

Television:

Flavor of Love, I love NY, simpsons, family guy, king of the hill... I'm a channel flipper. I like the History channel, Discovery, VH1.

Books:

TheDriftTruck.com

Heroes:

Mat Hoffman, Tony Hawk, Bam Margera
