So many riders have drifts on lock now. Can we put this in the comps? I know i would enter:YEAH

 

i would have to admit it is diffently cool to watch!!!! but every time i try to do it i highside and bust my ***......must be the little squidy left in my blood!!!!!!..................LOL

 

What like a whole different event just for drifting?

Would be cool, but might get a bit samey watching 15 or whatever people go oput and do nothing but drift for two mintues a piece.

 

^+1 I love seeing people drift but it would get boring after a few minutes

 

so do circles but that is all anyone does these days i dont know about you but one circle is the other circle no matter if you doa flamingo or frog or whatever it is still boring after about 3.

 

how would u even rate that?....who can hold the longest drift??...it aint the same with cars....it would be much harder to rate a good drift compared to others

 

Speed
Lean angle
Width
Position (hc, sitdown etc)
Direction (both for most points)

 

yeah the highsides suck on my gsxr if i have a softer compound its takes a little more throttle to break loose but with a harder i highside more and really easy to break loose.



no i'm talking head to head drifting around a small course judged on smoke how well you connect your drifts speed and who gets to the line first. note getting there first doesn't guarantee a win though.

 

maybe for u to watch 0's, but doing them does not get boring, always learnin new ****.

 

So basically a race where you'll have competitors drifting the entire course?

I don't think thats gonna work too well.

1) if its a small course, you're gonna get people hitting each other, which could result in lots of nasty crashes and injuries meaning nobody is gonna want to do it because it could interfere with their indv freestyle runs.

2) Drifitng an entire course would be very difficult, and would potentially be more samey than just letting people loose drifting in any way they want to.

3) You'd have to have competitors go one at a time, which would drag it out and imo people would lose interest quickly.

4) Judging on smoke would be a bad thing. Some tyres smoke more than others at different rpms.

In theory it would be a cool idea, but in practice it wouldn't work.

 

no front brake lever drifitng.. :YEAH that should be a competition..

 

WTF, I just dreamed about this **** last night... Now I remember...

I was entering a special drift comp, and they were counting how many sec's you would be able to drift... No front brake allowed

Would be a great idea!

 

oh wow, now that sounds like a good competition, I thought you were talking about doing a comp kind of like the "how many circles in a minute" type thing. A comp the way you describe it would be SICK


I retract my previous vote for no in the polls now

 

no i mean two riders at a time, connecting your drifts meaning coming out of a drift and right when you stop spinning the tire locking up the rear tire to set yourself for the next corner, not hitting the cones or running off track. closer you get the cones or going off course the better you score (on the absolute edge and making it look good), rider can find a tire that smokes well with their drifting style (pilot powers for me). open to ideas as well

 

by the way it would be hard to use the front brake when you are also being judged on speed not to mention you'd wash the front 1 vote its official i'm the man

 

so your talking about a course.. like a drift race.. *** that.. its a good idea but i think for more of what our sport is I.E. we do call it freestyle so just in an open lot at the comps have drift comps with everything being tallied from tire smoke to crowd reaction to combos pulled while drifting... anything and everything freestyle would be dope in an event like this..

 

yeah then we w3might as well eliminate the approach in stoppie and coaster and target stoppie would not be considered freestyle either. can still have a freestyle event within a set course and it would take more skill to combo your drifts on a set course.

 

you make a valid point.. then two different drift comps it is.. freestyle drifting and circuit race freestyle drifting...

 

there you go one sponsored by pirelli and the other by bridgestone. that would be nice.

 

im not aware of anyone who can drift a bike like a car, ive only ever seen circle drifts, if theres someone out there able to drift a course like they do in cars id love to see that.
