Re: Drifting??
how are you hitting your hip? I learned by starting off with my foot on the ground and dragging my foot, think of it as like a crutch to get the lean angles you need and what not. Once you get comfortable with that, you can pick your foot up

Re: Drifting??
get aggressive be one with the bike and load your tire up with air 38psi to start..
its all in the clutch release and throttle i am getting them but been only just started yesterday with 25psi an was doing alright? A buddy who was doing them same time with 38psi was killing the ****...
I dunno what else to say if you want it bad enough it will happen...

Re: Drifting??
don't wait for the tail to whip around when your on the break, just get it to slide for a few feet then /gas/clutch, might be why your low siding, your waiting to long to put power to the wheel

Re: Drifting??
The brand and model of tire makes a big difference... for me at least.
Get something hard, like a touring tire and put a bunch of air in it.
I personally don't suggest the foot down thing, cause bad habits are hard to break - but it helps alot of people learn so to each his own.
