It's not a matter of it being safer, it's a matter of it being the only way to achieve something.
Your rant is as pointless as saying hi powered cars are for the weak and that the way to go is using 25yo stock AE86 on bald tires...

Yesterday i was tandeming a S15, using my SLS (beasty and intimitive), in a custom track with 66 corners in Eifel Circuit, door 2 door and both abusing on angles. I was only able to adapt my speed to his using e-brakes at the entries (sliding mostly) and at the middle of the drift to dose speed without regain grip.
Was it possible to do the same using normal brakes and even more angle? Hmmm probably not in all situations.
About Boba... i guess hes not trolling, and he stated his point of view. What made some revolt from some people was his overstraighted (harsh) comments. But the moderator came here to chill out people and now hes cool.

His point of view just made people think he has a pretty poor knowledge of drifting and a bit too much ego.
I hope for him he don't plan on drifting in real life because he'll feel really bad (and weak ^_^/ ) when he'll come to the conclusion that he have to use the ebrake (sometimes) to be a complete drifter.
Who would I respect the more? The one that is putting a better show than the other, in that case the person that have more power.
Go figure why nobody rep NA AE86 anymore in D1. Because if D1 was still like in 2001 nobody would be still interested in it.
By the way show us something a video wether it being real life or gt5 to backup your saying.
As of now I'll still rely on what I see from people that are drifting since at least a decade, not from an unknown on the web.

I've found drifters that use the e-brake heavily are difficult to tsuiso with. Using the ebake to initiate the drift is fine but alot of drifters will keep pumping the hand brake mid corner to try hold the angle which is annoying as hell!, I get caught up in thier speed (or lack of) and end up having to pull out or simply smash into them.....There is no problem with drivers handbraking it's the ones that ride it throughout the corner that is the problem.......

I'm new to drifting, but when I start a drift, I usually just slow down before the turn and just accelerate to make the car go sideways. But sometimes, I will use the handbrake to get the drift started if it's a wide turn and not a tight one.

I kinda thought that this topic would end up with people b!tching at each other. It's sad that the personal opinion of drifting without the use of a handbrake seems so unwanted here.
Still, it was worth a try. Of course I'm willing to demonstrate that I could drift as well as an e-brake user, no matter what track or car.

Please go away if you're not able to understand properly what people are saying. What is unwanted here is pretentious people dissing on other because they use a technique over another one and act like they are drift king.
I could also backward your argument and say that I don't get why some people don't want to accept the FACT that ebrake is a part of drifting no matter what your skill level is.
Every single real life drifter pro or not use the ebrake. Some people here and over YouTube seem to think that the mention "no ebrake use" will add to their awesomeness factor, it's not.

too many of you jumping into an anti-anti ebrake crusade to oppose me when I started no such thing.
I'll say it once again, using the handbrake is easier, you can drift without it using more skillfull techniques. If you can achieve the same drift without it it's more skillfull...it is still however a legit tool, but if you've done things right you should barely need it.

I'm GhostBobalob on psn feel free m8 Im mostly on the g25 on live for speed nowerdays but I'll find some time for gt5 slideyways action

I use the e-brake all the time... It is one part of all of the drift techniques that I employ... I use the e-brake on occasion to do crazy entries into corners, I use it to make angle adjustments during my drifts, I use it to check my speed during tandems with slower drifters to avoid bumping them and match speed with them.

Welcome to the ill informed bandwagon my friend.
noone except over reacting idiots said the handbrake was useless, or evil or killed Kennedy.
I've also covered these points already if you care to educate yourself on the opinion your attacking before joining the angry mob.
