First up, if you’re going to drift, or practise drifting, make sure you don’t go and ruin someone’s new trails! A parking lot is the ideal place to get out a try this skill.
Basically, drifting is all about being comfortable when your bike is sliding; something that’ll help you to avoid crashing in loads of situations alongside riding slightly faster out on the trail.
Don’t forget to hit share on this one!

Can You Destroy This Berm?
1:37 Yess I can Dab nice and quick.
Since i started buying my own tyres, i stopped doing this. 🙁
The Pioneer yeah but I’ve learned my lesson from trying to skid my tires on pine straw the bike flips on me everytime.
Daniel Abal Freire that’s why I kinda love Canadian winters, because on a nice day you can slide, I went with just barely below 0 and 2 inches of snow over everything, the bike slides perfectly and no tire wear… Then I tried drifting without taking feet off pedals, good going right but fell hard going left lol
I’m right handed so… Ya
Daniel Abal Freire A dirt trail covered in pines straw works really well.
Do it on surfaces that have less traction, like, go fast on a road and when you hit a sandy section smash that brake lever
+Daniel Abal Freire Yeah, just like their channel intro vid: “well that guy doesn’t buy his own tyres” commented as the other one aggressively drifts past the camera!
The 360 skid and fall is my best move
Lam Pepperhard u mean 180 if u did a 360 skid then ur a legend
Skid …Grip… Highside … Hospital….Yeah.
+The Guy we hope you are okay! Scott
I tried drifting on the cement.My bike regained traction way to quickly and it flipped.Not really a fun thing to do.
I can do 180 parking :))) can upload video too if you want
lmao 😀 will try to but my new bike doesnt lock the brakes easily
Do it
I set-up a big pile of dirt the other day and this poor couple gets blasted with dirt ruining their whole evening. I couldn’t help to think it was my fault for their bad day. But after the guy chased me my bad feelings went away. I can look back on this and smile now.

Does anybody else agree that gmbn should do a video on doing a burnout?
1st gear, hold the front brakes, and pedal as hard as you can.
