Also I have talked to Rennie once, guess what both say? Brake BEFORE corner, let go of break during corner pedal from apex of corner. Also they said dont skid, skid equals inefficient stopping and tyre wear. Drifting is good for high speed open corners as it allows you to hit it a bit faster and sort of flows better.
I stand corrected. I guess I have my own style of riding unless we are all confusing the terms "skidding" and "fishtailing" with "drifting". Next time I ride, Ill try to take a small vid.
