To any drifter out there

[Wh33lhop]

THAT is what I fucking hate, the use of the word grip. When I say tracking my car to anyone I get "Oh you drift?!?".

Seriously, it's annoying as fuck.

"Oh you don't drift, then you grip?" Fuck you, I drive. Like a normal fucking person. You sound like a retard.

Id have to say drifting is more of an art then a sport. Its all subjective. Kinda like stunting motorcycles. They issue trophies and money but since most kids in high school can't get a motorcycle, us adults who don't try to make things seem more important then they are don't pretend its a sport.

There really is a big difference between American/European "drifting" and Japanese drifting. American's and Euro's tend to just oversteer. The Japanese take it a bit further than just kicking the ass of the car out.

This is what I considering drifting:



Sliding almost the whole time, connecting every corner and instead of just kicking the tail out then catching it then onto the next corner, each turn is one fluid motion connected from the last. NO ONE can say that doesn't take skill.

The problem is all these stupid kids that watch this shit online and think they can do it. It's a fad right now, even though drifting has been around for ages. It's commercialized now, which is ruining it.

I love me some Touge Racing, and Tsuchiya is my hero. To me though just drifting is like homerun derby, you are just taking one element of a larger sport and trying to make something out of it. Except no one tries to say "Homerun Derby is way cooler than Baseball!" whereas you do have people saying Drifting>Racing.

I honestly don't understand what you're saying when you said that. Because when you go to the track and you're sliding you're car, you ARE linking the corners, you're not going around a corner just to powerslide it.

^^ He's referring to the fluid motion that the Jap guys achieve. They are dead smooth for the most part. Driving like that on skinny roads is pretty cool, even though it's old news.

Stay off of the street!

Find a drift event near you. Sign up. Drift.

BTW, I'm with the drifting is ghey club. Only because kids walk up to me constantly at school and try to convince me to drift, use the phrase "oh, you grip?", and tell me how their hondas are drift machines.

Dude... I guess you haven't heard...




This thing is SICK!

Aren't we all in it for the fun? Someone builds a nice e30 to look at it, maybe jerk off, others do it to track the car, drift it, rallye it, smash it in a tree. Who gives a fuck? Just go out and have fun however you want as long as you don't kill anyone.
Oh and there's a world championship in sudoku so technically its a sport.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yeah, just imagine if everyone drifted on the streets.
