I was holding on to the back of a mini pic up truck while riding on my skateboard, the driver (MY Father) decieds its funny to gun it and I fell off going arounda corner doing about 35 mph.. I drifted the entire corner tumbeling the whole way.. Oh and My friend Tay.

I'm not a hardcore drifter, though I might experiment with some of the organized events when they happen.

I started drifting as most of the people over the age of 25-30 here have said, long before I knew there was a name for it. My 4th car was a '76 Capri with an Olds 215 V8 swapped into it. That car BEGGED to be driven sideways, and I did so frequently. When I got a ticket for doing it on the street ("wreckless driving" they called it... all I did was kick the tail out a little bit on a big wide left turn with no traffic), I decided to get rid of the car to spare my driving record.

I started kicking myself for that several years later when I learned how rare and wonderful the 215 was! Oh, well.

I think my experience driving that car helped me to be a "natural" autocrosser when I eventually started autocrossing about 10 years later. Limit driving is limit driving... it all translates into various forms of motorsports.

 

I first "Experienced" Drifting while I lived in Misawa Japan. We used to goto the port in Hachinohe to watch the locals street race and drift. This was back in 1994-1995. Never had an oppurtunity to try it myself yet....

ever since i've had my licence i've benn sideways, all my cars have been rwd. But the car that really taught my how to drift was when i bought my 86 corolla GT-S. I found out it had lsd after the mechanic took me for a ride after fixing the car at the Honda dealer i bought it from. He kicked it loose alittle to get across the road and into traffic. Well when i left the dealer i got sideways as fuck and ever since. I bought the car in early '99 and didn't find out about "Drifting" until about 2001 when i started hanging out in tampa.

 

hahahaha drift bus!!! ....priceless

 

Hehe... we used to do that on ice with a 4-door long-bed Chevy truck (read: Loooong) when I was in the Air Force. I don't know WHY we did that... "curbing" a military vehicle when you're enlisted is NOT a good thing! Was fun at the time, though.

 

dude, that was my answer! i used to play that shit all the time! my actual first encounter was in my truck where i was making a turn and my dumb ass friend grabbed the e-brake. i do it every now and then but i have a small pickup and i know it would be much more fun in a car

 

I learned about drifting from some frineds then I got the drift bible and it's been down hill since then...... No tearing up the roads of Tallahasee....
