They should've definitely put 'Beginner Technique' in there. Using the ebrake the way they describe is definitely a beginner technique and I think the only reason they said that was so all the civic-kids will be able to try it. Oh well.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I've seen that guy in a drift video before, though I can't remember which one. He definitely knows what he's talking about, but I just think they messed it up anyway. I think they probably asked him to describe a beginner technique and then just used his description for their "DRIFT TECHNIQUE" guide without adding the 'beginner' in there.

Why did you just post four times in a row? You could've just edited your post.
The guy in the article/webpage isn't a "ricer/skater" (whatever that is), he's a drifter..and a fairly good one. I'd be willing to bet that he knows more about RL drifting than almost everybody on this board, myself included. I think they probably just took his description out of context.
EDIT:
He never says that

anyway..
if you see this post:https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/t-34385.html
Pros DO use the e-brake... it's nothing wrong with using it IMO.. it is just another technique...

going 50 and pulling an e must be a tremendous screamming on the ears, ive done 180's and 270's with a geo metro going like 40 in the dirt or rain, and like 30-35 on the street and that was the loudest screeching ever. any one elaborate on sound?

have you ever been to driftsession??? i have 6 friends who enter driftsession 1 and 2 and they've had the chance to drift with people like komatsu and bai, as well as members from drift extreme (who by the way almost always qualified for the d1 gp main events) as well as 2 members from team julius. just because we dont have the money to bring down all the guys from the d1gp doesnt mean we lack the credibility. we've been holding drifting events for much longer then most parts of the united states. i mean driftsession was already featured in drift magazines in japan way before the idea of d1usa even came up.
have you watched the best motoring drift bible??? The drift king himself, Keiichi Tsuchiya shows you how he became the best drifter ever. what is one of his main points??? learn to control using the ebrake. Its a universal technique that needs to be used in order to maintain a long and smooth drift. sure clutch kicks and powerovers are good, but the best way to fine tune a drift is by using the ebrake.

I agree! the E-brake has multiple uses....that's why they have those drift cars with ebrakes that don't lock into position when being pulled, like conventional E-brakes that are installed in stock cars today
this lack of the locking mechanism allows the driver to use a precise amount of E-braking inorder to control the drift of the car....

ok for all of you who are calling the guy who's talking a poser or a wannabe...he's not. obviously you guys dont know about top american drifters, cuz thats one of the best we have. that's alex pfeiffer. if you've never heard of him, i suggest you watch some videos featuring american drifting, like on the scene 3: drift USA. he drives the battle version ae86, and is one of america's top drifters. he knows what he's talking about, the site just took what he said into the wrong context.
alex pfeiffer is not a poser, he sat next to me at D1GP near the end of the night, and he was drunk as hell and yelling HACHI ROKU at ueo...it was annoying but cool cuz he's alex pfeiffer.

Wow, that was a worthless report... 
Reminds me of that report they had on the news about street racing and that dumb ass couldn't beat a civic with his three different mazdas... something like that. I remember street racing here (I never raced, I wasn't that stupid just wanted to see the cars which weren't all that) this dumb ass in a supra got his ass whipped by a S4 with 4 people in it.
