first off ^lol Secondly. There are numerous techniques that people string together(using some and not others) in order to get the same results. That’s where you develop your own style and do whats comfortable to you. You can’t just say “Do it this way and not that way.” Everyone is different and has their own way of doing things. ---

Find a combination of these styles that work for you, your car, and the turn you happen to be attempting to drift. Also… you only really initiate the first drift… if your good you connect all the rest using a giant combo of all the techniques and wont have a clue what you did untill you go watch your in car view from your go pro. Go read this. use google and find a more in depth one if your cool. [http://driftjapan.com/blog/entertainment/drift-bible/](http://driftjapan.com/blog/entertainment/drift-bible/) someone que in on this… my opinion is that the rev on the motor is down and you let out the clutch fast which is like a very aggressive downshift and locks your tires… then you apply hard throttle as you are sliding and switch from a rear lock drift into a power over drift. That is the one you forgot on the first post… As for damage to engine… not sure. clutch probably slips before that unless you spent too much money on it. > [@izzo](#): > > Lol shift lock hurting the motor lol > Hahahahahahaha doing anything other then shopping trip to no-frills hurts u r engine lololol > U drift yo ca u hurt it lololol +1 … Why clutch kick when you can just break weight transfer and sway into a nice power over! clutches smell, and I would rather buy tires! > [@Chad Dugan](#): > > don’t clutch kick? unless you have to ---

You don’t have to be very aggressive with a shift lock if you are driving fast enough. When your car is at its limit of cornering grip it doesn’t take much to upset the balance and start the car sliding. I’ve done a couple by accident downshifting (gently) while turning into a corner. ---

Wtf^^ I was expecting drift bible. Speaking of which, Clutch kick isn’t 1 of the 5 initiation techniques in that vid. I just recently started to initiate with clutch kick and honesty, braking drift and feint are better techniques. I will only use kicks to keep the revs up or increase angle as I have been doing.
