Nothin wrong with a little shameless drifting now and then.

VERY SMOOTH! Excellent form!!!

Any tips for us n00bs who want to have some fun but do NOT want to wrap their 8s around anything? ie: Where is the best place to practice, would you get "practice wheels/tires," etc

wouldn't say I'm good enough either...cause I ran off the track at one point and damaged the sideskirt 5 hours later after the event....but it'll be a easy fix

haha a drifters best friend is duct tape and zip ties. your bound to mess up something but its all part of the learning process.

that was nice technique son. i especially like how you managed to transfer the weight w/o losing control......every time i try to slide to the other side i spin out.

are you on aftermarket suspension, springs, shock + springs?

That was actually pretty sick. Especially since you did that on a track.

Oh man, really nice. The first one was really clean. How long did it take you to get it down? I'm glad you it correctly, and didn't use the e-brake. Excellent countersteer as well. I wanna see some Inertia drifts

hmm.....all I can say is, go out, find a big place to play in and have fun....I'm still using stock tires, don't really drift alot cause 18" cost too much to replace...but after 32k miles I think it is time to replace soon
