How Do You Drift

[Team_DC-Derrick]

Theres no "true drifting" the professional drifters use E-Brakes. You just rip the E and spin the back end around, then let the E down, counter steer and gas it through the corner. I do this all the time in my front wheel drive. I would stay away from pavement though, very bad for your tires and much harder to control your car. stick to dirt, gravel, and my favorite snow

There are many forms of drifting, not all professional drifters need to use E-brakes alot of them downshift to throw the car out of balance and once its sliding they gun the power.. theres a movie somewhere around here called "Drift Bible" if you really are interested in learning watch that, with English subs tho

not really possible to dirft in fwd car all you can do is rip the e-brake

and slide around. i drift my 1500 ram i just gas it and counter steer it

at the same time, first winter this year and already can do some nice drift circles around stuff.

oh i know theres different ways to get your car to drift i was just pointing out how using your E brake is a true way to drift. Some other people on here seem to think it's not

I have a bunch of friends in a 'team' of drifters who have sanctioned competitions in Indianapolis and about 3/4 of them use the e-brake but they are all awesome. I've never heard of a "true" way to drift. As long as you're accomplishing the desired course of 'controlled chaos' (<-what they call it) that would be impossible otherwise under lawful conditions, it's drifting.

Not arguing, just my .02

it is not possible in a ff. you can power brake (e-slide) like you were doing though. and your right it is fun. i love drifting in my f150. i scare the shit out of people when i do it. i have been drifting for a little over a year so i still have alot to learn but i can and do maintain control and safety when i do it.

Drifting in an F-150?? Thats a sure way to flip your truck if you hit a rut in the road. Especially with dry pavement. Other than that I'd like to see a stock F-150 drift! lol

o its possible to drift a ff... i drift a awd explorer at a closed track ( yes with roll bars attached to the frame so it doesnt flip( make my truck look like a spider )

your seriously just said its harder to control your car on concrete rather than dirt, gravel, and snow?

i think so yes. sliding on dirt or snow is easier than pavement. If your car is set up for drifting on pavement then thats a different story but not to many people take their cars and set them up for drifting the streets.

idc what its set up for. its easier to control a car on SOLID GROUND (i.e. concrete) rather than soft ground.
