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)[reply]

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.

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)[reply]


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)[reply]

Merging with feint drift

In more or less the same sense, a scandinavian flick is performed more or less 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)[reply]

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)[reply]
