I performed somed chokudori drifts. You can check out my video here.

Choku Dori- this is done by pulling the E-brake through a strait to start a high angel drift and to hold this angle to set up for the turn ahead. (note: this can only be done at high speed)

It allows you to start drifting earlier than normal, thus allow you to begin your drifts furter back.

Give credit to 19xx for hosting the video for me. Thanks!
 
I can't drift and I have 29.5GB of bandwidth to burn. ;) It's good that you gave perg's ftp a lil break

BTW the one with the feint in midfield... when did you pull the e-brake?

I pulled the ebrake as i entered the turn. If you observe my trottle and brake icons, you will see that I let off and just powerslide, that is when I'm pulling the ebrake. The very first to second seconds of the video. I didn't have to use it in the turn after going under the tunnel, i just added that as extra. :)

Yes, very nice drifts. I find the earlier the drift starts the nicer it is. But uh... well, I believe that "chokudori" is when you drift back and forth on a straight. I’m not sure starting a drift very early has any type of name.
 
Thanks. After learning to fient, brake, accell off, etc...this was the next step in improving my drifts. Learning to use the ebrake is essential to total control.

I thought Manji, correct me if I'm wrong,...is what you are refering to when you drift back and forth on straight.

Choku dori doesn't necessarily involve the e-brake, in fact usually it doesn't. See my GTP Week 2 competition video with the R32 on Midfield II for an example. I don't have traction for a single second in that whole video, and don't use the e-brake once.
 
From the way they defined it on the drifting info site...I believe the sytle is called chokudori. Its using the ebrake on long straights, when at high speeds, to powerslide upto the corner and then begin drifiting the corner. Observe the Leguna drift with my silvia and Rx7...I approach the point at high speeds, pull the ebrake at the top of the hill and moderate steering and ebrake until I've entered the corner where I then begin applying gas to finsih off the drift.

Which drifting info site?
Sounds like a regular e-brake drift.

they're so ametuer-ish...

well thats what i think, dunno bout you guys...

On the contrary it is an advanced technique used to extend drifts. Some drift cannot be done with out it. Well... maybe not "drifts" but entrances to drifts. It's also great for corrections. If you started your drift too early and are about to clip the inside wall, hit the hand brake for a second or 2 and it will adjust your line to miss the wall and continue the drift. Now if you are just going around a corner and hit the hand brake to get sideways, well then that’s the amateur stuff your talking about.

Yeah, that was my initial thought of what a choku dori was, but I can't remember where I heard the term from in the first place. I still don’t think the hand brake is necessary to do choku dori. Ah whatever, it’s pretty much the same thing.
 
the 1st thing that came to me is.. RX8 = FF... am I correct on that? and FF= Ass Dragging.. I'm not bragging but my equation seems to work out.. but great vid man keep it up! :)

I agree, e-brake is very useful. Anyone who says e-brake is for amateurs is simply trying to impress someone. Ever watched D1?

Did you get that from driftclub.com? they have the same definition as you posted on their site and I'm not sure that it's right.
I'm pretty sure what you're talking about is a sidebrake or e-brake drift...Choku Dori's (as far as I know) are when you drift back and forth on a straight. (on driftclub.com they call this Manji..though I don't know what that really means)

Anyway, I use the ebrake all the time when drifting...I used to love to do huge ebrake drifts down straights before a sharp turn, but since I started using sims, I'm finding it more difficult...oh well I'm still working on it. I never really understood why people think using the ebrake is for beginners...as pergatory said, the D1 drivers use them all the time.

there isn't even an RX8 in the vid, there is an RX-7 though. And like that other guy said the RX8 is FR.

It seems because Takumi doesn't use the hand brake, and there is that episode where Iketani says that he himself needs the hand brake because he is not even close to being on the same level as Takumi. I think that is where the side/e/hand brake got looked down upon.
 
Learning to use the ebrake is a demonstration of advance drifting. I don't see why people say its a begineers move, its not...its more advance if you know how to use it correctly. CORRECTLy....not ass dragging, but to utilize it while you are fienting, accelling off, powering out, CONTROLLING your drift...etc.

Sim tires that behave like the game don't exist in the real world...when you start with grippier tires and become more advance you will find out that ebrake will save your drifts when about to clip the apex of a corner and it will assist you in linking drifts with grip tires.
