How do you know when drifting is mainstream and is no longer cool?

Agreed…

But I see voltins point… How many more accidents have you heard about after people seeing/hearing about drift events etc… Everyone thinks that getting a car into a controled slide is easy and all it takes is a little counter steer, when in fact its a lot more than that.

When I first started trying to get the car sideway I would do neutral slides comming out of a turn… and then just try and hold it for a second and then be on my way…

I’m still a nub but I can generaly get a car sideway pretty decent thru a turn… I linked a drift once in an S turn behind my house, i was amazed that I held it…

Yeah I picked this DVD up, it’s pretty good. He gives tips about shifting weight, different ways to make a car drift, and how different cars react (S13 vs S14 ect).

Drift bible is pretty awsome

ive watched it 2-3 times

44

On a related note, I get to play skidpad instructor at Summit Point a few times in 09. Who wants to come play? :excited

45

I DO I DO

46

i concur

47

what does that mean you get to do?

48

Realistically it means I get to teach Honda boner teenagers w/ drifting pipe dreams how to do control a sliding car.

49

tuck your head between your legs and go for the ride?

50

must …resist…the DRIFT BIBLE!

51

Are you asking to tuck your head between my legs and go for a ride?

52

:giggedy :ohnoes

53

Maybe, but I still cant get the stuff off my helmet from the last time :umm

seriously skid pad fun! im down srsly no bullshit

54

You’re going to go to Virginia to do huge donuts on an asphault circle?

You know LRP has a skidpad too, right? :rofl

55

I’m going to West Virginia to setup the race car’s brand new sexpension. I’m going for free because I agreed to teach noobs.

Summit’s skid pad is intense. LRP’s is lame.

56

The new triple skidpad?

Hell yeah…but driving 20 hours to drive it…not so much. :rofl

57

More like 6. I’ll also get to test the setup on the road course…for free. If you can think of a better way to properly setup and test a car, I’d love to hear it.

58

You misunderstood me, I was referring to Mackenzie driving all the way the hell down there to do donuts.

I don’t really give a shit what you do, frankly I think you should ‘test the roll cage’ before anything.

:shifty

:rofl :tong

59

That makes more sense.

Adam and I have been looking for a cheapo E36 shell to test the cage on. We have a great tree-lined ravine to toss it down. Wanna donate your car to science?

im surprised you didnt write “and put in Vot painted as the crash test dummy into it” at the end, Jesse.

srsly tho: so youre a driving instructor now or what?
