I heard clutch-kick!
You know, he's not really sliding before the apex of the turn. He past the mid-point and kicking it out on exit...atleast on the first turn that you can clearly see. That probably has to do with not being able to see oncoming traffic!! Since his e-brake obviously works, he could have kept the first slide going, and link to the next one by yanking and quickly holding-releasing-holding-releasing the E-brake until he's set up for the next turn. But...the fact that he's doing stuff like that next to a cliff...!! Pretty ballsy!
Why can't I find that many Milanos to go driving with? :P

Hard to see, but you'll see the driver quickly yanking the e-brake *after* he's already sliding, to keep the car going side-ways while slowing down.

They're all broken (or in some state of disrepair, awaiting greatness)

Here is a TERRIBLE video from a couple of days ago. I told my friend to try to get the steering wheel and the road at the same time, but it didn't work out
You can hear the rear tires spinning, and the car sounds nice atleast!

Should be able to put up a better video when it rains again.

Am I perceiving this correctly: You are drifting your car on public 2-lane roads with oncoming traffic and guardrail within feet?

I'm hoping to hit up one of the larger tracks if I go all the way down there. I might get my friend in his S14 to go, and I'll ride along with him though. He wants to do a driving school first anyways..

Grant, driving school was fun no? If you hit the big tracks, you won't get much of a chance to drift
(well, you could, but they don't give style points in Time Trial class)

Yeah, it was very fun, but I feel the NEED FOR SPEED!!! My drift car hasn't progressed either, so might as well test out the new sways.
Jes,
It's' normally done at night with walkie talkies, but video taping doesn't work so well in the darkness.

Hey man, thanks for the comments.
I really don't know when I'm going to be going down to LA. You can sell the harness bar if you want b/c I'm flaking. I was supposed to go down for christmas, then the Jan 13-14th time trial, but neither of those worked out. If you still have it when I go down South, I'll gladly take it. If not, that's cool then.
