At superswell VR, we're always trying out new things. In an effort to keep it fresh, we're debuting a new 360-degree video series called Under-the-Radar Adventures hosted by Breanna Wilson and me (aka Joan Jetsetter). The series susses out the lesser-known, knock-your-socks-off experiences in cities across the globe in immersive, 360 degrees. Viewers feel like they are along for the ride—in the middle of all the action—while discovering completely new attractions in their hometowns. The end goal is to inspire YOU to get off the couch, explore your own city and spread positivity and good vibes.

Our first season focuses on off-the-beaten-track experiences in the greater Los Angeles area. In episode one, we strap on our seatbelts, tighten our helmets and get behind the wheel at Drift 101. Drifting pros Naoki Kobayashi and David Kim think they can teach us how to drift in less than 20 minutes. Lunacy? We think so.
