Get ready, Mzansi because the streets are calling and the engines are revving! Gush’Lyf hits your screens tomorrow, Thursday 7 August at 20:00 on Mzansi Magic channel 161.

It’s bringing the raw, unfiltered energy of the spinning scene straight to your living room. Once seen as a sort of underground rebellion, spinning has turned into a full-blown lifestyle, especially ‘ko kasi’! It now represents a culture of adrenaline, artistry and street cred. Tune in to meet the spinners: Ngozi, Dankie Darlie, Poroza and Mzet.

Prepare to witness them execute a perfect roll back into the kitchen or pull off an insane 720 cray flip. You’ll see them push their rides through a full lap until the tyres blow, and maybe even do a heart stopping bonnet flip. Gush’Lyf explores the world of Gusheshe fans who live for the thrill, the smoke, and the crowds’ roar, while privately navigating their personal and family lives and challenges.

As we wait for the first episode on Thursday, let's get you ready with the lingo the crew uses in Gush’lyf:

Roll back

When a car is moving forward and is suddenly whipped 180 degrees. The momentum sends it into a reverse motion without selecting the reverse gear.

Kitchen

A small, demarked part of the skidpan that is narrow like a driveway. So, one would say rollback into the kitchen.

Lap/round

When a spinner goes into the skidpan/pitch to perform tricks until one or two of their tyres blow or pop.

Crazy flip/360/720

When a vehicle is moving forward quickly and whipped around 360 degrees and continues facing the original direction it was facing. It’s called a 720 is if this done twice or two crazy flips. Cars can do more "flips".

Bonnet flip

When the bonnet opens during a crazy flip.
