Default A simple drifting chart.

I don't know, I was kind of bored, and thought this could help boarders who are new to drifting/sliding.

haha so true. Rad chart. It all makes sense after you think about it a second.

My only question I am still messing with as I learn to drift is if my back knee placement makes much of a difference. i feel like I slide more with my knee sticking out and I have more control with knee tucked in. Any thoughts?

heel or toeside. cause in a heel side you want your rear knee almost touching the board and your front about half that bent. in a toeside your slide hand should be about parralell with the front of your board. all weight on your front foot leaning out as far as you can.

heel side. Thanks for the help. I am still real sketchy about anything involving a toeside drift because I've high sided the past three times I've tried. I think my problem with toe side is I always start drifting then pull my weight in so I feel more secure on the board which hucks me off when I regrip
