HOW DO YOU DRIFT?

good grief. forget what i said about tokyo drift alright..... seriously people need to CALM DOWN.

[azn akira]

of course this inspiration came from watching tokyo drift... but thats not the point...

who wants first dibs on this one?

Let's not say you got inspired by Tokyo Drift, let's say you got interested by Tokyo Drift.

I don't drift (waste of tires IMO, I like going fast through corners, on track of course) but I can tell you the easiest way to get your tail out is pull that e-brake to lock up the rear, turn in one direction, let the back kick out, then counter. Chances are, you'll probably spin. It takes a some time before you can control your slide. I do not endorse any kind of street racing or illegal parking lot maneuvers but they do have Drift Days all over the country. Find one and learn. It will be best to have a RWD car. Yes, you can "drift" an FF car but the learning curve is a lot steeper than a RWD curve.

There are Girl drift teams. There's one in Japan called Gal Dori.

u pull the e-brake and turn the wheel.

kidding. dont do that. haha

drifting is more complicated then it sounds/looks.

theres counter steer, timing, throttle control, etc and it takes time. but if u want to start, i guess google is a good place for info.

Go watch the Drift Bible and hopefully it'll put drifting into a better prospective for you than that damn movie did.

There was a member on this forum, who is female and a drifter... i forget her name tho.

oh my god.... that looks crazy! okay i see ... wait you can drift on automatic cars?
i always thought you can only drift with manual trans. cars ?

googling is easy to do its just that i dont get it when they put it in words
so i was hoping someone here could just explain it in steps
if someone gives me the 411 i was thinking about trying it in a parking lot lol

and okay tokyo drift got me "interested" in it.. well no thats not true
playing arcade games like initial D and that other one ... (forgot whats it called)
got me interested in it, but tokyo drift was the first movie where it shows you a
third person point of view to drifters so it looked even better on television i guess...
ok thats not the point thanks for all the input

you want a donut?

[darling]

you want a donut?

Yes. I do. How did you know?
You're so cool, a girl that wants to drift! And on top of that, you're psychic too! AMAZING.

[A K l R A]

Yes. I do. How did you know?

wait is this ... sarcasm? cuz you know its hard to tell on a forum and all...
whats up you want to drift to? i dont understand this issue you have with me liking drift

[MC Muffin]

First you take advice from bow wow (or whatever) on drifting, then you only offer a donut to ONE person?

Seriously now.

If you don't bring enough for everyone, don't bring any at all.

[Stevent]

Darling chill out. No need to get sarcastic. You can see that he/she is pulling your leg and you took the bait.

Back on topic, first drifting takes a lot of skill and practice. Just because you saw something in the movies and playing games doesn't mean that it's easy. Most of the people that ask "How do I drift?" are people that have watched Tokyo Drift which in my opinion is bs. A majority of the people that there that are drifters were not "inspired" to drift because of some movie they watched.
If you're actually looking for drifting tips, this probably isnt the best place to find it.

But seriously, how many people have asked this same question because they watched Tokyo Drift?

[AChan10]

fail... can some mod close this please? its making me sad

but... you didnt do the donut with your honda accord so... ya know all's fair.

and i did not take advice from bow wow.. im not that ignorant ...
i took advice from sung kang the guy who dies (oops sorry!)

[darling]

Darling chill out. No need to get sarcastic. You can see that he/she is pulling your leg and you took the bait.

Actually I was pretty sure she didn't know what donuts were. & Being sarcastic is a character trait/flaw of mine
If she did indeed know without googling it later on, then yes, you're right, I jumped right into it (:

Actually now it just sort of seems like this might be a fake account stirring up something funny?
I mean... I've never met anybody, girl or guy, who is that ignorant (refer to the post above this)

[Stevent]

^^ honda accord? wtf
it's a gto troll

okay could we PLEASE just put the tokyo drift part aside
im very very sorry i said that okay?
that isnt the point really i just want to learn....
i mean i got inspired to DRIVE from watching 2 fast 2 furious lol
and i learned how to drive stick shift just fine

[Stevent]

wow by saying 2 Fast 2 Furious isnt going to make it any better. And what does driving a stick has anything to do with this?
Seriously, just stop, you're making yourself look like an idiot...I guess it's too late
