I remember when I went to six flags I was able to link most of the corners. I had to floor in to the corners all the time, counter steer then straightened up. They were gas powered so they weren't as fast as these. It was hella fun . I overlapped everyone twice.
@@bobburgers1546 Oh... thats kinda dumb especially when you want to beat your time. But Yeah they got super pissed when I mashed throttle and do tiresqueaks lol
@@bobburgers1546 this is super true, there was a girl in our match and I zoomed past her then I felt my car go slower, I think the operater guy got mad I was going tryhard and she let her past me.
Am a subscriber to your channel n have been following you watching your Genesis vids for years. Didn't know you worked @ k1. Keep up the great content brodie 🤙👊
I remember 3 of my friends crashed the same time trying to drift and i just passed drifting and they were all impressed bc my dad taught me how when playing racing videogames
Great idea, but after driving gas-powered drift karts in Honolulu, this was incredibly underwhelming. If you try to carry too much speed and drift as you normally would, this is nothing but frustrating. The karts in Honolulu you could pin the throttle and really drift. And it was incredible. At K1 Sacramento, it took me 8 minutes to finally get the idea in my head that you MUST go about half speed or slower into the turns in order to not spin out. If you have ever driven on ice, its very similar, if not exactly, like that. Big, smooth, fat, plastic wheels in the back offers nearly zero grip. Even the K1 employee there had a hell of a time trying to get around the course.
It’s much easier to drift K1 karts when they don’t have those stupid plastic wheels on them. I have no idea why they have those drift covers, and why they are so hard and gripless.
Drifting is fun, in 2017 I was in a kart series using Rotax karts and it was in the rain and the corners were so slippery that Drifting kept happening.
To save ur time, in a normal go kart, unlike his, just go fast in a turn press break and do a sudden turn, then turn in the opposite direction to balance the vehicle
Recently i was doing a few races in a K1 Speed RACING big track (2 level long track), i was legit going fast and slow but i was going mostly fast and legit doing some awesome fast drifting and i did spin out like once when i angled alil to far / much on one of the corners but holly shit these monsters go FAST. But Holly shit these karts CAN DRIFT LIKE A BOSS! I did once do a 360. I didn't wear riding / racing gloves so my hands kinda started to hurt after alil while. I did buy a pair riding gloves that has strong comfortable grip and grabbing on the handle bars/ steering wheel thing so my hands and fingers Do not hurt while i grab and hold onto the steering wheel things.
I also wonder what it's like wearing a full race suit with the race gloves and full geared up on the K1 Speed racing gear. People will look at you probably if you walk in while all geared up lol.
What you're showing here isn't power sliding, it's essentially engine breaking into a turn causing loss of traction in the rear. To start a power slide you come in fast then floor the gas just long enough to break traction, then quickly counter steer and get back on the gas just enough to hold the slide. Much the same as drifting, however power sliding is still racing and maintaining speed is key, so don't go for to much angle or you'll loose speed.
The drift tires have completely ruined the grip at the track in Rohnert Park. They have embedded the plastic from th tire into the surface of the track and just ruined the track making it slick as an oil spill, especially for the GP racers. On top of that K1 corporate has increased prices, especially thebulk race packages. For instance, the 50 races for $675 is now $800+. It has basically turned away most of the regulars. The GP was running strong with over 30 racers everytime, but this week 4 showed up... yes, only 4 racers. I talked to a few via social media and heard the same complaints... unreasonable price hikes, and also no more grided finals... now they will only do rolling starts. Say goodbye to a big chunck of change Rohnert Park K1...... many of us are done with you.
Ok I got a story for you guys so this one time I was at k1 speed brought my brother and my freaked and my dad I could not drive yet we’re around the track this guy bumps into and makes me lose speed and he won later that day I got in trouble for bumping into that same guy while I was going for the pass it this time it wasn’t on purpose lol. Ihtought my day couldn’t get worse and then after that that same guy was in a race I wasn’t in I was just watching but that guy crashed into another guy the other guy his kart whent on top of the other guys kart the two karts where on top of each other karma for real it’s also funny when I saw the workers run after it to help them
make a k1 in idaho falls for a place with over 100,000 people theres one go kart place thats 15 miles away and they dont go faster than 15 mph its also a 0.15 mile track if you can ever call it a track
O K1 speed yeah I went there when I was a kid and sometimes I go there when I’m adult too but every time I go there I always kind of drift or like slide
hate to tell you, but the point of powersliding is to actually be on the power to slide the kart not drive like a front wheel drive and decelerate using the locked axle as a handbrake
i drifted a gokart outside on a concrete track bc i hit dirt at the start of a corner and it made me slip and i just took cars 1 advice and turned left to go right
Before watching this video I tried drifting and when I turned it stopped and then like rubber flakes of tire flew into my face (WEAR FACE PROTECTION WHEN DRIFTING)
"How to drift?" Pitch it hard, break it loose, and just let it slide while playing with the throttle. If you push too hard, you'll spin out. And if you turn hard enough left, you'll have to turn right. "Turn right to go left".
Funny story! I went to k1 for my birthday a couple years ago and I was in first the entire time but then my friend ran into me. My other friends got stuck behind me but one didn’t so while everyone was trying to fix the issue my other friend checked if I was okay. She then proceeded to get first place. We restarted the race I thought I at least got second place but turns out I just missed that and got 3rd to this day that medal is sitting in my closet while my other friends have 1st and 2nd,

Lmao I over took everyone twice yesterday drifting every corner 🤣
@@xBROS26x love the name
@@nikoz2759 Thank you
i got yelled at for mashing the throttle at the start xD
I race fast and I notice my car becoming slower, I think they want to give the other kids a chance
@@bobburgers1546 Oh... thats kinda dumb especially when you want to beat your time. But Yeah they got super pissed when I mashed throttle and do tiresqueaks lol
Last time I was there I was told to get full speed you would have to have a certain lap time to be able to use it fully
@@bobburgers1546 this is super true, there was a girl in our match and I zoomed past her then I felt my car go slower, I think the operater guy got mad I was going tryhard and she let her past me.

This is basically on how to drift in general, although it's quite simple

Had a blast in vojens during rain years ago. Modulating the throttle is the key along with steering input

How many times a year is there a drift day at k1
1 if I’m correct and it was a couple months ago
@@Gonzo_Guy there’s another in November, the 15th I believe
@@HalfpriceHotboi Yea not very often I wonder why
@@HalfpriceHotboi yoo no shit I’ll have to go
They have it once if not twice a year . Which I think should be a daily thing . Either drifting or just regular racing .

Initial d.
Miss go karting so much it's awesome
my friend and i were doing this without the sleeves, cant wait for tomorrow drift night at k1 11/15/2021
how was it?
Might head out there this spring break!

tysm that realy teach me how to drift
I am excited for drift night.
Is this the Irvine location?
When is the next drift night in Arizona
16 August
Can u drift on the junior kart too?
When you can’t find the E brake 👁👄👁
At K1 it says no drifting
We have dedicated drift nights! You should check them out if you want to drift.
@@k1speed I will
Will this work on an outdoor track?
Turn right to go left. Got it.
I actually went to this place for my 9th birthday SO MUCH FUN
Ima go for my 10th

Do you guys have drift carts at your Orlando facility?
We DO!
that was sick

BRO FRR I ALWAYS MEMORIZE THAT
drifting came naturally for me
Bruh i searched up k1 hotwheels and this popped up XDDD
i be doing mad 360s in a petrol go kart outside on a track when it was rainin 😂
Wait this is the Irvine track
Wait, what about the brake? Is the brake isn't used while drifting?
You don't need the brake to drift. Especially in a power slide you want to keep the accelerator down.
Amazing
title: "How to drift with a go-kart"
Me, who doesn't drive a go-kart but likes Mario Kart: *well well well let's find out shall we?*
Is this in Missaga?
i thought at ur indoor cart things theres a thin g that specifically says no drifting
I love NSW Sydney ❤😊
why did you make a video on how to drift if we arent allowed to drift?
is it easier for me to drift on a go kart if im very experienced with sim drifting with a wheel and shift knob?
Sim drift ig because you can do it at home

This is damn confusing
I went to the Sacramento k1 speed and did a drift on the corner and then they decided to make stop going in that race
Make me stop going in that race we weren't even half way done with the race
It's because you're not allowed to drift. But K1 has these things called "drift nights" where you are allowed to do drifting.
@@matt_f1192 but it was a accidental drift
If you good you kann do tamdems
gonna play this on my uncle. 3 years later gonna thing im max verstappen.

is there something like tthis in europe?
You can actually drift without the thing you just need to be fast and quickly gas and brake while power sliding
is there an ebrake
i love you teach us this but when we do it they red flag us
We have dedicated Drift Nights were you are allowed to drift
What days?
O K1 speed yeah I went there when I was a kid and sometimes I go there when I’m adult too but every time I go there I always kind of drift or like slide
I JUST WENT TO K1 TODAY LOL
My dad was a client with k1 he worked for club speed his name was Thomas or Tom McInerney
Bob Ross of go karting?
is this the outlets of puerto rico? im from pr and ive been there looks very familiar if it is pls let me know lol
im here too I wonder if they have something like this here
I drifted karts with threads
I don’t even have a go kart lmfao
hate to tell you, but the point of powersliding is to actually be on the power to slide the kart not drive like a front wheel drive and decelerate using the locked axle as a handbrake
Is power sliding considered slip angle?
Depends
Slip angle is the difference between the angle of the wheel/rim and the angle of the tire’s contact patch.
i drifted a gokart outside on a concrete track bc i hit dirt at the start of a corner and it made me slip and i just took cars 1 advice and turned left to go right
You guys don’t allow people to drift at K1 I was drifting at the k1 in broward and they kept putting signs up saying not to drift.
ive never been in a kart w enough torque to spin the wheels 😭
You remember me tevon
Can you slip drift in them?
That looks a bit hard to do?
I just came to a k1 and one of the rules is no drifting XD
All wheels have the plastic sleeve right?
No just the rear wheels you need the front tires to have grip because that way you can counter steer
@@marvinmontano5322 and the karts are rear wheel drive right?
I would play Initial D Deja Vu while drifting
cool
Me :drifts at public kart area
Owner: OUT!
Late but I think you can only drift on drift nights
hey planning to go to a location in concord and was wondering if they only drifted at certain time or not if so when?
I can drift when I’m 13 years old yay.
Before watching this video I tried drifting and when I turned it stopped and then like rubber flakes of tire flew into my face (WEAR FACE PROTECTION WHEN DRIFTING)
I didn't see the portugal flag back there at the beginning of the video ... 🤨🇵🇹
Why should there be a portugal flag?
pov:u can drift but u just didnt know it was drifting
"How to drift?" Pitch it hard, break it loose, and just let it slide while playing with the throttle. If you push too hard, you'll spin out. And if you turn hard enough left, you'll have to turn right. "Turn right to go left".
*puts on ipod with toyko drift*
But what if u don't wanna drift
Well the gocarts we have don’t power slide now what

same
but dont they have a sign saying
*NO DRIFTING*
There are signs in every center that say "No Drifting"
this has the grip of an f1 car 💀💀

I got banned from the k1 speed in miami for drifting
1:55
Bruh my k1 speed doesn’t allow drifting
I wouldn't recomend drifting if you were to drive in a real official league race.
This is only for bumper carts
No one said anything about driving in a real race or drifting in a real race
Drifting in a race kart is easy let alone drift kart
Bro I kept getting yelled at for doing this
Christian, we have dedicated drift nights. Its not allowed during non drift nights
K1 Speed oh no wonder
