My concern is the "manji." When drift bash did it, you swung out to the dashed line or to the grass then swung back in to the final 2 clips. That way you were more likely to keep angle. if you go shallow, my opinion here, you run the risk of straightening. Also, If you want to initiate with a fient, no problem but i think as a courtesy, you should say if you are or arent going to to fient. that way battle will still be real close. JTP at long beach was telling everyone that he was going to fient into the first corner and it allowed everyone to give room but they still sucked up on his door.
