Talk:Scandinavian flick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Possible inter-Wiki Link
Apparently this is the same technique as used by motorcyclists and cyclists but is known as "Countersteering". Perhaps we could add a link? 203.46.95.243 00:51, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Disagree - countersteering on two wheels induces lean angle, whereas feint drift/scandanavian flick/inertia drift (which SHOULD all be merged) works by weight transfer inducing loss of traction at the rear wheels.
[edit] Opposite lock
If Opposite lock is another name for this, you may want to cross-link or merge the two articles. If not, please explain the difference. -AndrewDressel 15:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I think this is a use of the opposite lock technique. A merge or mention of it in the Opposite Lock page (like handbrake turns are mentioned) would be appropriate. 203.46.95.243 01:32, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
No. This is an example of counter-steering. Opposite lock is the case of maximum counter-steering, occurring when the steering wheel can be turned no farther. In an opposite lock turn, the vehicle's turn rate is controlled by throttle: More throttle==wider turn. However, a counter-steered turn can be controlled by steering wheel (not at opposite lock) and throttle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.213.217.230 (talk) 18:23, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merging with feint drift
In more or less the same sense, a scandinavian flick is performed the same as a feint drift. With the only difference between the two being the purpose, I propose this merge. --Blackhawk charlie2003 14:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes, these methods are describing the same maneuvre of initiating oversteer. "Scandanavian flick" is the more popular terminology however (especially in rallying). 58.165.63.153 12:05, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
As I wrote when expanding the article, Scandinavian flick, Feint drift and Inertial drift all refer to the same thing. Whereas Scandinavian flick is popular among rally racers, Feint drift is popular among American public, because the Americans would hate to admit they didn't invent it. --Lasombra bg (talk) 03:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
