Drifting

What ever you think, If it quacks like a duck and swims like a duck, It's probably a Duck. A controlled slide on cement or any other surface is just that, a controlled slide, You can call it what ever name you wish and presume any one section is harder than the other, but I would guess that the guys that slide sideways up pies peak might differ that what they do is not as hard as sliding around on spinning, smoking, back tires. It's all in the balance.

back in high school i was having fun drifting my mom's ford granada in the rain around corners.
ended up over steering and over correcting, and crashing straight into a wall.
drifting was not meant for a granada. lol.

Comparatively speaking, it seems more like boasting about being able to hit a baseball at 80mph at a batting cage, thinking you´d be able to hit off a major league pitcher, while you might be able to, the difference once subjected to the later in skill to do so as successfully as the previous would be quite a bit higher.

In your mind the "drifting" is compaired to the Major league pitcher, I think it would be more compaired to the batting cage. It's just balance, Saying something is more difficult don't really make it more difficult, it's just what you think.

Still gotta say, without having done this at this level on a track I still think your comparing say, Diving into the deep end of a pool from the edge as being the same thing as cliff-diving.
Sorry, I'm really just going to need to throw the "aaaaaallllrighty-then" card out on this and just let it go. But still fun.

Your arguing with people just to argue and make your self feel "accomplished". So stop it and go hug your mother.

It rained the other day, and I actually drifted! Just my stupidity really, I took a corner to fast and in an effort to try to shift the weight of my car forward, I made the mistake of gassing it instead of braking!
My front wheels stayed glued to the asphalt, but my rear wheels were spinning freely on the wet road. It was so much fun that I din't want to let up off the gas!
Damn, I guess I will have to get a cheap set of rims with cheap tires and find some open and safe place to do this.
