#Countersteering
What is the potency?

Countersteering the couch is #MyNewBand

Our first song, I Don't Feel It Yet did pretty well, but it took us a long time to regain enough coordination for our next song, Can't Eat Just One.

Check your dampers as well. Worn rear dampers on nose-heavy front-drivers will allow everything to bounce just enough to lose grip.

Our '86 Taurus (on not-bad tires) was wonderfully drifty on snow and a bit of a countersteering handful in the wet while the rears were worn out.

Not quite sure what the physics is, but both of my BMW RTs just automatically leaned into sidewinds. I'd guess the wind turns the front of the front wheel downwind, countersteering the bike.

Countersteering connects motorcycle physics with confidence, balance, and road awareness. Every thoughtful corner strengthens the conversation between rider, machine, and road. #Motorcycling #MotorcycleCornering #CounterSteering #RidingExperience #RideMore

What a friendly, endemic Tuesday The Earth is unhatting, the sivatheriums are countersteering and the remark smells like belanded deep fried egg and technetium! 🙍

Sorry sorry sorry.

CARS AND FAMILY SPAWND A 10+ MOVIE FRANCHISE.

PIXAR MADE A MOVIE ABOUT TALKING CARS! VERY SUCCESSFUL.

you know what both those movies understood?

HOW FUCKING CARS WORK!

People DO street drag on random quarter miles! I used to! Countersteering does work!

No that was deliberate I reckon, he was countersteering again after moving the car to the pitwall though so that's what caught me out

Russell's move on Oscar was deliberate I reckon, had a look at his onboard and he was moving the car to the pitwall, countersteering again afterwards for wheelspin

idk if its a character thing or a vehicle thing but the drifting and countersteering in some crossworlds characters is insane bro LOL

since countersteering was originally what drifting was intended to be in this game. It’s like this for all drifts, but ice really exaggerates the effect because of how slippery it is, so it kicks you “out” further.

It looks like the driver stomped on the throttle and the back tires broke loose, and instead of lifting and countersteering, he just panicked and froze.

I don't know the story behind this one, but as long as they could salvage the VIN tag, Ferrari could rebuild it — for a price.

As an old bastard, I neither deny the existence of countersteering nor dismiss its importance. However, I *do* think it's been somewhat over-emphasised since Keith Code and his ilk realised that they could make $squillions by banging on about it.

Fair enough! I'm the 9 and 3 type of driver, so it would feel odd to me. Keep thinking about what it would be like trying to drift with that cover on, lol. Would make countersteering quickly a bit of a nightmare. Style points, I suppose! :D

It's a function of lean and speed. Below crawling speed you steer into the turn.

Bicycles are the same, but the transition is at a higher speed and you might not know you're doing it since so much more of your steering input is from leaning compared to a motorcycle.

After putting some time into learning this game the last few months, I will never stop defending it! It actually becomes very easy to control once you get the hang of countersteering/counterhopping

Don't fixate on what's directly in front of you, instead, focus on where you want to go. Position yourself to get there, smoothly, no volatile movements. Wait for a clear sight before going full throttle. Stay relaxed and lean into it.

If you're gonna get good at heavyweights you need to learn how to counterdrift so you can control your facing angle

The fourth installment of Ring Racers 102 is here! This is the longest video so far, and for one of the most important techniques in the game: Counterdrifting. In the latter half, I go over some real examples of it from cherrypicked multiplayer replays.

I understand the body mechanics of it because you absolutely have to understand how countersteering into a lean works to ride a motorcycle skillfully

it's more a problem of ab/core strength and being seated for pedaling; I rode a cruiser so I was upright rather than sport bike position.

countersteering is admittedly very strange, I never quite got it until I took a motorcycle class
