Driving on Two Wheels
Learning how to drive on two wheels can be a thrilling experience. To start, we recommend riding a bicycle and gradually progressing to a four-wheel vehicle with Yokohama Super Digger tires. This will help you get a feel for balancing on two wheels and build your confidence.
Left-Foot Braking vs Right-Foot Braking
Left-foot braking is recommended for driving a rally car or off-road vehicle, while right-foot braking is more commonly used in sim racing. It’s important to practice both techniques and determine which one works best for you.
J-Turns
A J-turn is a driving maneuver where the car reverses and then quickly switches to drive, causing the car to spin around 180 degrees. To learn how to do a J-turn, we recommend practicing in a parking lot. Start by going in reverse and then quickly switch to drive, turning the wheel in the opposite direction of the spin.
Becoming a Stunt Driver
If you’re interested in becoming a stunt driver for Red Bull or other companies, we advise against attempting stunts on the street. Instead, find a closed course where you can practice safely. It’s also important to have a good understanding of vehicle dynamics and physics.
Trick Names
Tricks in driving and stunts are often named after the person who first performs them in competition. This is a way to honor their achievement and legacy.
Motocross and Skateboarding
In addition to driving and stunts, we also enjoy motocross and skateboarding. We explain how motocross pros get their numbers and how arm pump can be prevented or treated. We also touch on the consequences of performing tricks during a race. Our favorite skate trick is the andraked inver.
Teaching Kids and Dogs to Skateboard
We’re curious about teaching dogs and kids how to skateboard. When teaching kids, we recommend starting small and being patient. Use techniques like tic-tacs on carpet to improve board control before attempting more advanced tricks. As for dogs, we’re not sure if it’s possible but we’re open to the idea.
In conclusion, we hope that these tips and tricks have been helpful to you. We’re always open to answering questions and sharing our knowledge. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or just starting out, there’s always something new to learn in the world of driving and stunts.
