Hey guys i been wanting to learn how to drift, but how? i honestly have no exp at all on how to. lol the most i do is slide my back tire to a turn, but thats messing around. what the correct way to drift? Do you use the front brake at all?

 

Good question, i do the same thing with my back breaks.
Yes the pros use thier front breaks.

 

Personally i dont use the front brake while drifts..
Go straight, block the rear brake, slide the bike to left/right whatever feels best for u. Let the bike slide down to a low angle. A split second before u pop the clutch, u twist the throttle a bit..
If your drift get out of control, ull anytime prefer to lowside, that happens usually if u give to much gas. Eventually the bike will come to a stop, pick it up and try again :-)

A good help could be to have a foot on the ground, hopes this will help

 

No they ******* dont, If you dont know how to do **** yourself dont give advice.

 

Why wouldn't pro's use their front brakes?

 

Because you would either high side or tuck the front end. The only time you would use the front brake to drift is if your in a higher gear goin down the road or on a track when your runnin out of gear. If your just learning to drift in a parking lot and you grab too much front brake your gonna slide the front tire and end up on the ground. Someone could get hurt pretty fast from getting bad advice.

 

I was just trying to save someone an accident. Your free to try whatever you like, just do the rest of us a favor and make sure the cameras on when you do it.

 

Well, could you atleast give some advice on how to? how to start it? how to keep it going when yur in the drift.?

 

Is this crappy help?

 

Is this crappy help?

 

I thought it was good help, thats why I didnt post anything. You gave em a good start.

 

pop the clutch a split second before you stop your slide, roll on the gas and dont be too choppy. Like MikeMJ posted, always lowside. Your way better off havin the bike slide out from under you than highsiding.

 

Well said, thanks. ill take pic of scabs and bike damage if i have some lol

 

There's a Video on YouTube on drifting. Search stuntbums how to drift.

 

Video was huge help, preciate it

 

Doing a moving burnout while holding the front brake is a rolling burnout, it's a different trick than drifting.

When drifting a motorcycle you don't use the front brake, if you are using the front brake then you are doing a rolling burnout not a drift.
