Drifting

Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally or unintentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels or all tires, while maintaining control from entry to exit of a corner. A car is drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa).

tips:-

• For beginner

1. Set up a cone in the middle of a safe area of tarmac.  Drive up to the cone and rip the handbrake in an attempt to do a 180 degree handbrake turn. Practice this until you are no more, and no less than 180 degrees from when you started.
2. Learn how to counter-steer by ripping the handbrake from a speed of 30-40mph (anything less will cause an inadequate amount of momentum to get you around the cone) and trying to control the car to a destination until the car stops.
3. Increase speed of each of these things until you are comfortable.
4. Try to do the 180 cone too.

• Drifting with rear wheel drive and manual transmission

1. Find a car with both rear-wheel-drive and a manual transmission. Ideally it should be a sports car with as close to a 50/50 ratio as possible, and enough power to keep the tires spinning is ideal.
2. Head to an open area (i.e. an enclosed racetrack) safely free of pedestrians and motorists and police!

• Hand brake technique

1. Accelerate and shift into a gear with room to rev. Second gear is generally used because it allows the widest variance of speed and is best for harnessing the engine's torque.
2. Push in the clutch.
3. Flick the steering wheel to the inside of the turn as if you were going to turn around it. While simultaneously pulling the hand brake.
4. Immediately put some pressure on the gas pedal, let out the clutch, and steer the car in the direction of the slide, using throttle to control the angle of the drift.
5. More Throttle will make the car turn more, and also move the car away from the turn center.
6. Less throttle will reduce angle, and allow the car to move towards the inside of the turn more freely.
7. You're drifting!

•  Clutch kick technique

1. Used while you are already moving to increase angle and/or revive wheel spin.
2. While you are drifting, you may feel the car begin to lose its drift angle and power. If this happens, you can kick the clutch to attempt to revive to tires spinning speed. This is similar to powershifting, and you are in essence trying to 'chirp' the tires again and again.
3. Enter a drift.
4. while you still have the power put on, kick the clutch pedal in and out a few times as fast as you can until the car is drifting again.
5. end with your foot off of the pedal.
6. continue the drift, and when you feel the car begin to lose angle/power try to clutch kick again.

• Drifting rear wheel drive auto

1. Find a large, open area.
2. Accelerate to a speed of 20-30(depending on lot size and room)
3. If possible, lock the transmission into a low gear to provide maximum torque
4. Turn the wheel hard and floor it. You should feel the rear end slide around if this is done correctly. Only use full throttle to start the drift, after this you should use proper throttle control to continue through the corner.

•  Preparing to drift with a front wheel drive car

1. Go to a large, open area.
2. Pull the handbrake or use the parking brake, riding it out the first time or two to get over your initial fear.
3. Set up a cone in the middle of the lot.
4. Drive up to it at speed (between 20 and 30 is desired).
5. Pull the hand brake and turn toward the cone. Immediately after you feel the back end come around, turn to the opposite direction. This is known as opposite lock.
6. Repeat the opposite lock at that speed until you can control your car well.Practice this for at least several weeks regularly until it becomes second nature. (Don't do this on roadways. It is dangerous to others and can get you fined.)
7. Slowly increase speed until you are proficient in a speed you are comfortable with. Get to know that speed--you should never drift above that speed unless you are practicing.
8. Upgrade. At the same initial speed, flick the steering wheel opposite of the turn and swing it all the way into toward the CONE (not turn, you aren't ready at this stage). As before, when you feel the rear end come around, go to opposite lock.

• Drifting with a front wheel drive car

1. Approach a turn at a comfortable speed, preferably in mid 2nd gear.
2. Pull the handbrake while turning into the corner, try not to lock the rear wheels.
3. You should still have the power on, try not to go less than 1/2 throttle at any time during the drift.
4. When you feel the car start to understeer, and lose angle, pull the brake harder.
5. When the car seems to turn too much, give it progressively more throttle, and release the handbrake some.
6. Don't tense up, just feel it.

Parkour

Parkour is a holistic training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training.Practitioners aim to get from A to B in the most efficient way possible.They do this using only their bodies and their surroundings to propel themselves; furthermore, they try to maintain as much momentum as is possible in a safe manner. Parkour can include obstacle courses, running, climbing, swinging, vaulting,jumping, rolling, quadrupedal, movement, and the like, depending on what movement is deemed most suitable for the given situation. 

Parkour is a non-competitive activity, which can be practiced alone or with others. It can be practiced in any location, but is usually practiced in urban spaces. Parkour involves seeing one's environment in a new way, and imagining the potentialities for movement around it.

There is no official list of "moves" in parkour, however the style in which practitioners move often sets them apart from others. Some examples of the ways in which practitioners move:

• running towards a high wall and then jumping and pushing off the wall with a foot to reach the top of the wall
• moving from a position hanging from a wall-top or ledge, to standing on the top or vaulting over to the other side
• Vaulting over obstacles
• jumping and landing accurately with the feet on small or narrow obstacles
• jumping and catching a ledge with the hands while the feet land on the vertical surface below.
• using a rolling motion to help absorb large impacts

There is no equipment required, although practitioners normally train wearing light, non restrictive casual clothing:

• If anything is worn on the upper body, it is usually a light garment such as a T-shirt, sleeveless shirt, or crop top.
• Most commonly sweatpants are used on the lower body, although some                                                  wear tracksuit bottoms or shorts.

Comfortable running shoes, ones that are generally light, with good grip and flexibility are encouraged. Various sport-shoes manufacturers, such as Nike, with its Nike free shoes, have developed shoes specifically for parkour and freerunning; and many other companies around the world have started offering parkour-specific products. Some practitioners use thin athletic gloves to protect the hands, most do not, preferring the increased grip and tactile feedback. Since Parkour is closely related to méthode naturelle, practitioners sometimes train barefooted to be able to move efficiently without depending on their gear. Some traceurs also like the feiyue martial arts shoes for their light weight, thin sole, and flexibility. David Belle notes: "bare feet are the best shoes!"

UITM Student

Student in UITM Lendu Alor Gajah also do some extreme things. This is the video from Art and Design student, they do motocross, parkour, and longboard.

Extreme Sports

Extreme sports also called action sports, aggro sports, and adventure sports, it is a popular term for certain activities perceived as having a high level of inherent danger. These activities often involve speed, height, a high level of physical exertion, and highly specialized gear.

The definition of an extreme sport is not exact and the origin of the term is unclear, but it gained popularity in the 1990s when it was picked up by marketing companies to promote the X Games and when the Extreme Sports Channel and Extreme.com launched.

Extreme sports are rarely sanctioned by schools. Extreme sports tend to be more solitary than traditional sports. Beginning extreme athletes tend to work on their craft without the guidance of a coach (though some may hire a coach later).

Activities categorized by media as extreme sports differ from traditional sports due to the higher number of inherently uncontrollable variables. These environmental variables are frequently weather and terrain related, including wind, snow, water and mountains. Because these natural phenomena cannot be controlled, they inevitably affect the outcome of the given activity or event.
