For those who are interested. Looks like the content is more or less from the “Drift Bible”. Enjoy! [![http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/8379/shift518.png](http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/8379/shift518.png)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLDejTKH388) ---

Nice video. +rep. I spent 2hrs on Saturday morning (4am) out in Syracuse last week drifting around the streets in 6+ inches of snow. I use the e-brake method because it’s easiest for me and because I’m auto. I’m hoping my friend (who was with me and lives in FL), gets the video off his blackberry soon (inside car view). ---

The whole don’t call it drifting thing is funny to me, because if you ask any higher level drifters they’ll tell you even powering over isn’t ‘real drifting’. IMO, unless you have each corner planned, and initiated before you enter the corner, you’re not drifting. That being said, the only event I’ve been to I was initiating exclusively with power-over, maybe a hint of weight transfer, but mostly powering over. Noobsauce. ---

On snow, perhaps it’s more of a slide since I’m not very good. But I’m sure people can drift a FWD car somewhat as well if they know what they are doing. ---

Not that I care either way (since I do not know how to drift) but I know it’s a topic of debate. ---
