very very interesting day.

knock off from work, reach home and the first thing i do is to grab my bike out.

there was already lightning and thunder, but i didnt care if i got wet.

rushed out and finally learnt how to drift on my bike. previously all drifting was done when the ground was wet and i had to do emergency stops.

and i always thought that drifting was done by locking the rear wheels only.

i was wrong.

realised that drifting occurs when there's an uncontrolled brake at high speed.

so i just need to have a "controlled" uncontrolled brake.

and i was right.

just lean forward, hit the brakes for both front and rear wheels. especially the rear one, just brake enough to let it start skidding then release the brakes. then put the leg on the inside edge on the floor and twist my body weight in the opposite direction that i want to turn. and i cant lock any of the wheels, front or rear.

and it worked.

now i dont even need to be in high speed to drift.

so much have changed since the day we ran away from each other.
