Hope this hasn't been posted before... couldn't find it.

We win... sort of.

3 reposts already? Must be some sort of record lol.

**Buyasta** · 22nd January 2011, 12:03

Yup, seems to be doing rather well.

What a wicked video. cool when he puts his fingertips on the ground while hanbging his ass end out. I'd say he goes through gloves pretty quick

**ajturbo** · 23rd January 2011, 07:19

that is sooo cool... to have that sort of ability to control that pig of a bike...

OK I just don't get drifting.

I must be getting old because it just seems silly.

Can anybody explain it to me?

I guess, like regular racing, it takes a shitload of skill to do well

Can it be done?

example =

run video in full screen, pause at your favourite bit. Now hit "ctrl" and "Prt Sc" together. this copys the screen. now go to your image editing programme and paste the copied image into it. Or just paste the image into word (or similar) and print from there.

The image is going to be rubbish print quality though as it needs to be really low resolution to stream over t'internet

Naa, seen a few RX7's with V8s here, they go good.
A guy from my ol' car club had one with a P76 V8 could paste most cars on the road even if it was left in 5th gear!

Dirfting a bike for the most part is like drifting a car, the more throttle the more angle. Just add in a handfull of balance and away you go.
The real impossible trick is doing it without using the front brake

Not sure if this has been posted before. If so, I apologise.

A stretched 05 Kawasaki ZX10 piloted by Nick "Apex" Brocha vs. a Corvette-Powered RX7 driven by Jim Guthrie in a high speed drifting battle.
