Drift 101: My Experience

[MonkeySlide]

For those who didn't read it in the C16 Virtual Mag. My Drift 101 story is now up on the HTML site.

I am 110% Certain that sharing this with all of you will result in endless ridicule HOWEVER...it is my duty as a journalist to share my experiences!

Thanks again to Naoki, Taka, Hiro, and the whole Drift Day/Drift 101 staff

If you haven't done Drift 101 yet you NEED TO DO IT!

I think the site is down... And Drift 101 is a great thing a lot of people that jumps into drifting doesn't even know the basic driving. Im glad original Drift Day instructor are the ones doing it.

People should start road racing and get the basic racing lines and teqniques. It's hard to teach people when they don't even understand a simple thing such as counter-steering.

I agree. It's amazing the people that want to "bust a Drift" but haven't the slightest clue about the basics of rudimentary car control. Anyone that ever asks me about Drifting, the first thing I tell em is to do a Driving School. Even if it's a one day thing, do it and learn the basics before you even think of going sideways. Course, nobody ever listens to reason when it's contradictive to what they want to do at that very moment, hence all the good YouTube videos that get posted of people *Censored**Censored**Censored* over teakettle in the trees, on top of other peoples cars or upside down outside their neighbors house.

For the A$$ clowns who go out and drift without knowing anything...I think Drift 101 would be good enough on its own rather than going through a different driving school first just to get to Drift 101.
