first question

are you guys using the front brake at all?

any other tips would be great

 

couple of cold beers and a ball sack made of steel. thats what i was told it takes.

 

no front brake. Skid, lean, clutch pop, modulate throttle, repeat.

 

I'm gonna bust my ***, but I am going to try it!! I had an idea of how it was done, but never 100% sure....

 

like I said before in a different thrad. I leared by ice riding my dirtbike. I don't know just feels good.... man feeellls good

 

this is how i explained it to my boy and he got it pretty quick.. Remember back when you were on your pedal bike and you used to do foot down 180 skids?? well remember when you would put your foot down?? yeah.. thats when you pop the clutch, give the head alittle shimmy as you let the clutch out, it gives you a wider start.. and no.. NO FRONT BRAKE!

 

and remember, it´s better to give it to much throttle than to close it

 

the ones u were doing at the spot sunday were sick!

 

+2 yeah lowsiding on a drift is way better then highsiding

 

Dirt bike and Gravel... Lol have not tried it on my 636 yet though... figure it will help alot knowing how to on a dirtbike

 

i've tried it a few times, hard. either i don't give it enough (and do a wheelie), or i low side right of the bat . did it once monday, didn't realize how fast the bike kicks out

 

ouch - highsiding hurts

 

take ur fairings off

 

haha, awesome

well that answers that question, no front brake...eek!

 

good explanation

 

I like to go fast so i do use the front brake but only to slow down and set myself up for my next drift the its all clutch and throttle form there. don't use the front brake while drifting or you will be highsiding which i can tell you form experience hurts.

If your slamming your bike down from wheelies those zip ties are not going to last very long.

 

thanks for the tips fellas,

gonna go try it today,

what speeds are you guys skidding before you initiate the drift?

 

you´ll see what suits you, I´m not even thinking I´m just skidding and then let go of the clutch lol

still lowsides quite often in the start

 

Speed depends on your comfort level. if i have enough room i hit second gear so you can do the math. the more comfortable you get the more you'll be letting it loose.
