young teenagers doing skids on the streets

[Guest]

unlike most teenages who are in love with RWD cars and in love with doing skids i think skids are pretty stuip to be honest and a waste of time,tyres & money , does anyone else argree? or is it just me haha?

[petrolheadjman]

Agree man, i'm young too but thankfully i have mates like me who just like to work and admire cars and have spirited drives occasionally

Thats why clubs like this are good. We are all hopefully a bit more sensible

[Guest]

I like where this thread is going already

[Guest]

skids are fine,i reckon there stupid in public places near people were some one can get hurt.but if you live out in the middle of no were and there heaps of room why not do skids,it is a waste of tyres?money not so much if you enjoy doing it,

Find them boring as hell, don't understand the fascination with a burnout.

That one has been around for years, was getting it in my old v2 wrx that didn't have DCCD.

Skids/Burnouts are all gay

Agreed. Dont see the point.

Its not even like its a challenge to do a skid in cars these days, increase revs, drop clutch, done. Woo, how fun.

Going around corners fast... now thats what real men do.

drifiting a car round a corner is both a legitimate and fun method of cornering, and it requires skill if you are to do it faster than not drifiting. i.e. a drift around a tight hair pin is faster than just driving around it, but it does take a lot of practice.

I'm talking auto crossing and street sprints here, not pimple faces in rotas.

Im not discounting drifting at all, but professional/GOOD drifting is a LONG way out of the reach of the average street burnout kiddie.

doesn't look like a tight hairpin to me mike, but if drifting that corner would be faster than driving a nice line

through it, good on ya!

hahaha skids are pretty gay....

but yea drifting is way way better IMO than doin a gay burnout with the brake on....if u hold the brake ur a bitch to be honest haha...

with all my RBs i got sick of skids but never got sick of drifting and going curb to curb down a straight road hahahaha...

each to their own tho aye

now i got the suby i cant do skids (without breaking it) so i guess ive grown up in a way haha

viv's subaru legacy does good skids & so does that forester from chch ;D love 4wd donuts 8)

[DRFVDR]

So I guess it ok for me to do skids,cause I amm not a young teenager ;D ;D

[gazzy2000]

in my mind when some one says "burn outs" i instantly picture red neck bogans in v8's surrounded by yelling and screaming drop kicks wearing black singlets, gumboots and drinking some crap cheap beer.

but i am old...

Spec C head down to MMP 8/9 Jan for the re-opening of Masterton Motorplex 1st drags of the season!

Well, this particular point I find pretty interesting. Given that we're talking about skids on the street, is going fast around 'street' corners what real men do? or am I taking it out of context?

For arguments sake, let's say you did mean street corners, is that really any better than someone doing a burnout in a crowded public area? Someone else suggested that's really irresponsible but if you've got the brakes on ("like a b!tch", wasn't it STEYE?) and you're going no more than 20 kmhr; which activity do we all think has the greater risk of death or serious injury?

I'm not saying I didn't buy a WRX to enjoy some rapid trips from A to B but a moron tailgating me around blind corners because they think they're clever really winds me up. So long as you can see what's coming, give it the jandal. If you can't, you're a danger to yourself and anyone around that corner.

I love seeing a burnout and have done a few in the past but time and place, like Dubbed said. Places like boat ramps for example; don't you hate it when the boat needs all that extra mumbo just to be dragged out?

Last but not least...are you in Mantrol?

well, your on my top 5 d1ck heads list, so not sure i care.

I dunno, kicking the tail out in a RWD car is always fun for me Or the scandanavian flick if you're on gravel, I understand 'skids'. Who doesn't like that sliding feeling?

Burnouts however, I don't really understand.

Out of context, Keep it on the track. Same goes for drifting, skids etc, keep it in a controlled environment.
