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
