The Art Of Left Foot Braking (FWD Drifting Techniques)

- This video goes through the basics of how to drive a car near and on the limit of grip.
Everything done in the video was done on Private Property with the intent of education.
YES. IVE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE FOREVER. Left foot braking is so important for maintaining grip yet and not experiencing snap oversteer. Edit: The key, the purpose, of left foot braking is to still be on throttle while under braking. I’ve had my personal experiences with village idiots on the canyon who legit let off throttle going through a corner expecting to just magically grip through it. Insane.
Bro braking is for puassays I removed my brakes ENTIRELY
You brake, you lose
Brakes only slow you down...Who wants that :)
@@wiciuwiciu2783 you let off and/or brake hard, you lose** I smoke these dumbasses too ez not even a challenge. Using brakes conservatively is the way, but when things get hairy or if you just want to throw your fwd car through a corner left foot braking is the way. Not to mention left foot braking makes things safe as hell
@@LiftbackLife we had pretty much snow and ice this year.
So now I fully apriciate that technique more than ever!
The point about applying brakes and throttle in a low grip/ice scenario is really important for normal driving.
I live in the PNW, and had to drive my sisters old FWD Sonata through a notorious mountain pass in the aftermath of a snow storm. Even with studded tires, the open front dif was not liking it, and so turning off TCS and ABS while almost riding the brakes made it feel like a breeze.
Modern TCS actually apply the brakes to redirect power in an open-dif too, but it's a reactive computerized process and can't hold up to just learning how to do it yourself (or you could just get an LSD and awd and call it a day, that's what I did lol)
That’s fantastic information 🤯
6th gen?
never understand people who drive with tcs in any scenario it feels so fucking wrong idk why
Sube gang
@@colinlohden9359 uhh - because not everyone wants to reach or be at the limit of any of their tyres riding to work...
FWD is so much fun! I used to race a 1st gen Kia Rio. Rally, rallycross, autocross and ice racing. Was a blast!
The Europeans have known these tricks for a long time.
A very long time😁
Dude! I always appreciate a first gen rio in blue or other nice colors because I know they’re even lighter than my Blue 1st gen Kia forte SX Sedan. 2800 lbs 2.4 i4 168 lb/ft torque 172 horsepower
Good car bro very fun cars to drive
I notice Europeans don't hate on good performing FWD cars like the USA does
I HAVE A KIA RIO RIGHT NOW PLS GIVE ME TIPS ON HOW TO GET SIDEWAYS
Idk why, but plain Jane beater cars will always hold the highest spot of value in my heart. I love a good, durable, tried and true vehicle that has withstood the test of time. Great video!
I feel like that’s super understated. Car bros want high horsepower cars. But I feel like real car guys enjoy taking a car to it’s limits which is a lot easier with beaters. You can push them to the limit and develop better driving techniques.
my poor goddamned 1999 accord wont let me kill it. It'll be at 400k by the end of next year.

Amazing video
Thank you
this channel is a hidden gem im so glad you came up on my recommended! This is such a big vibe

u r goated bro the vibe is immaculate
Appreciate it! Thank you
Never thought id hear the black keys and suicideboys together in a video 🔥🔥
Great content!!
I've been using LFB as my daily braking technique for close to a decade in my Prius. I first learned about it from the Shingo episodes from Initial D. But I decided to adopt the technique after reading about it in the "Speed Secrets" book. The secret is that it is simply faster than RFB, and it is why cart drivers keep their LFB techniques to open wheel race cars as they move up the racing ranks.
It took me a few months to get used to LFB. I would compare it to re-learning to drive once again. It takes a while for a new driver to learn to modulate the gas and brake pedals with the right foot without stabbing hard or not pressing hard enough, and the same is true for LFB. But once you develop that left foot sensitivity and muscle control, the world is your oyster.
Awesome man!
great video man!!! i think for future videos you should also have a driver POV cam so we can see how you’re steering and when you’re shifting while driving, it would really give a better perspective on when to brake and throttle and shift.
Great job man! Could you please keep the footcam for future driving videos please? :)
That's the plan!
@@sleephardcrew Great, thanks! ;)
@@sleephardcrewDang, people would pay to see that angle but we get it for free ;)
It’s crazy that you don’t get teached that in driving school, the reaction time saves lives
Thank you so very much it means so much to me that you even just said that🙏
This is how I slide my Chevy sonic during the winter when I’m delivering pizzas, so much fun dude
What year was your sonic made in?
@@qaiserkhan4465 2013
Little bit of humor, simple short explanation with various angles showing what's happening, using obtainable gear/entry shitbox.
(I love CRX tho and they're creeping up in prices, but a rusty one is still cheap)
And the location is also very common wherever you may live.
No rare togue canyon drive, no track.
Showing that indeed everyone that really wants to, can learn this.
You don't need a special car or track nearby.
And you don't need special talents perse.
Definitely subscribed.
that one guy in initial d that drive Honda with his hand taped on steering I bet he is taking note intensively rn😂
He was the one that left-foot braked the most...
Shingo 😊

You're so lucky to own a CRX.....I respect it's power to weight and contribution to the development of My EJ1( double wishbone suspension)
She’s a blessing of a vehicle
Have a FWD Renault Zoe EV that I always use left-foot braking in. So much fun to drive on curvy B-roads.
That would help me a lot to drift my rusty Peugeot 306.
Your content is really great dude, hold on and you will form a cool youtube community
Thank you very much it means a lot and keep having fun in that Peugeot!!
I could do this on my old volvo v40😂 if i buy it back next weekend it's full of dents, not little dents, like sledgehammer dents.. i stripped the interior for maximum weight reduction and the turbo eats oil but it's fun to throw it around narrow back roads. 2.0 turbo gas engine with 163hp that things a beast 😂😂
This is the best technique in general when it comes to sports driving or racing a front wheel drive car. Especially ones with highly tuned engines and large turbo engines that produce peak power in the mid to upper RPM range. Besides being able to control the car when it slides, it also reduces understeer. Drivers back in Group A in the early 80's developed the technique. I used it back when I owned and raced an SRT-4. My Autocross times improved significantly in using left foot braking.
Love the crx however I will say that sliding the rear end is significantly easier in the crx in general. Alot of other civics have more weight in the rear and linger wheel bases. The crx being short and one of the lightest civics makes this super easy!
Fair enough!
my friends are so dumb for thinking left foot braking is stupid
It is stupid for the most part, most drivers arent car enthusiasts and don't care about drifting or anything fancy. Most people that drive using left foot breaking would panic in most scenarios and stomp both pedals so I would guess for most drivers it would be more dangerous
@@Jacob-rt6on well I mean in that case yes. The reason I use it mainly is to have full control of my car and it makes for smoother acceleration for my passengers too. Also helps me lane change and turn.
I somehow ended up moving towards left foot braking naturally when first learning to drive. I think it might have something to do with the fact that on a game controller the brake is always on the left trigger, so my brain already associated braking with the left side of my body. Either that or teenage me just wanted to be quirky and unique.
5:10 you can get the rear wheels to lock up if you don’t have abs and powering over the front wheels with the throttle that way only the rears lock, and I find its actully a lot easier to control a fwd slide that way rather than murdering the E
1:25 ah the shit eating grin while revving a loud ass Honda, I’ve never related to anything more in my life
You got a sub for this shit, also for making me think my Spotify started playing at the start
Great video. always thought the arguments for right foot braking were silly, it makes it near impossible to drift in an auto
Glad you liked it!
This channel only has 2k subs at the time of this posting. I have a feeling there gonna get alot more. Great video.
Thank you!
i'm buying a 98 clio tomorrow and this appears in my feed. i guess i'll have to give it a try
Sick video! Great tutorial and a good vibe. I love my 89 Corolla and thrash it like this too
I've never heard that left foot breaking was bad till this video left foot breaking is rally technique
Indistrial strength handbreak will help as well from the sheer amount of time you will be ripping that shit up when throwing it out. Throttle control is imperitive on fwd and so is accurate traction. Ie tires matter alot and when to power out of slide and when to hold or slow down are the difference between dangerous unmoving understeer, uncontrolled oversteer and nailing a slide
Great video brother
Glad you liked it!!
I’m not a drifter by any means but I did drift the shit out of a Honda accord one time that shit was a blast and slid surprisingly well for a fwd
Finally 16, and our family wagon is FWD. You know what this means!
Im learning to drive and Ive already been just naturally doing this lol. Didnt even know it was some fancy technique and noone ever said anything about it lol
the big reason it's not something you're meant to do with normal driving because a lot of people panic and slam both feet down, so they brake and accelerate, instead of left foot clutch and right foot brake.
True but as long as u a competent driver this shouldn’t get u into trouble
Having a spot like that to rip around looks like a blast! Solid video and driving all around, and bonus points because you reminded me of Trevor from Whitest Kids U Know lol
That was a baller $B transition
pretty sick looking crx👌
the only other soul ive heard play awkward car drive
Bro looks cool af
song is awkward car drive by $uicideboy$ fyi
this is sweet man, im trying to get better at driving my car and this is helpign :)) by the way are you in souther nevada?
No sadly… was born and raised in Vegas though, currently reside in New Mexico!
in a race car you should never be right foot braking unless youre doing a heel toe downshift.
I just remembered Oliver Amon, who used to drift Suzuki Swifts, which were of course FWDs
my dad has a mk1 honda crx they're a bit more powerful even though they have a couple less hp but i like ur mk2 man
You got the style. Make more action content 😎
Will do!
Man You remind me of Mudrock from Gorillaz :D
And this is great video!
Left foot braking made so much corners a child's play for me when I learned it!
Glad you enjoyed!
We got the same seats which means we from the same streets 🔥
Yer!
heard awkward car drive and thought my music started playing over youtube 😭💀
great video and energy
hmm I know the left foot braking and i am using it nearly daily bc of all the ice and snow it is really handy in my fwd nissan nx100. But i just cant make the rear end slide that much without the scandinavian flick. so how do yo do it that your end slides thath much?
First off has a little to do with the wheel base of the vehicle shorter wheel base vehicles are “snappy” where as longer vehicles or heavier vehicles are “loose” so larger vehicles are technically easier to slide, but just think of the car as a box on springs and how you utilize those springs will allow you to angle and position the car how you need.
@@sleephardcrew thanks for the pointer.
Been listening to $uicideboy$ for over 8 years now so im subbing just for that and also because honda lol, i have a 02 dc5 but its lowered and doesnt get rallyed on dirt because it cant even drive on dirt roads without the exhaust scraping a little, but i beat the absolute shit out of my 97 pathfinder on dirt roads and in the snow and everything hitting jumps and my ass floats from the seat for seconds at a time and seeing my toolbox come up in the air and slam back down on the floor its literally the best thing ever😂, I also live in PNW so I can turn basically anywhere off the highway where I live and start rallying down a random dirt road my poor car only gets to drive at most 4 to sometimes 5 months of the year.
nice vid
Masterpiece
Can u do this in an automatic ?
+1 sub :D Great content, wonder why u only got few hundred...
2:02 RIP THROW OUT BEARING
When I was first learning to drive I naturally did this albeit in an automatic. Even what 8 years later I still drove this way and I think (it’s a theory) by being able to do this, I can drift my ram 1500 effortlessly this way lol
So u push the gas to get the front wheels moving while the back ones are locked up cuz of the brake?
That is exactly right there are multiple reasons for left foot braking, but mainly it is to shift weight forward while being on throttle to dig into better grip
Lol I'll give it ago in my 2006 mazda 6 wagon
Aghhh yes great tips for those that need to drive 30m to the shop 😅
Missing my first car now 98 integra 😭
Ur buddy whipped that thing he deserves that car now
Ya think?
i don't quite agree with the idea of "you can just shift when you gotta shift". most surprising situations on the street are not emergencies, but just smth like 'some idiot pulled out and now you gotta brake a bit' or so. if you now brake with your left foot you can not slow down and downshift at the same time, cause you need leftfoot-clutch for heeltoe. so you end up in a way too wrong gear not able to accelerate nicely once things roll again. don't get me wrong, leftfoot braking is cool. but if you wanna keep it real, keep it to the arguments that actually work, like going through a slidey corner where no downshift is needed, only applying the brakes for weight transfer
That’s a good point where u would use your judgment and determine which is better for a specific hazard vs. the area we live in is full of wild life where you don’t have a second to think about it…Colin was saying that in those cases where you HAVE to stop to avoid an obstacle it’s better to stall then collide. In that example.
@@sleephardcrew neither in a wildlife area nor in a city I would tell people to waste a sec of thought before reacting to a hazard. right-foot braking is great for situations where you need to downshift during braking, which is almost every situation. Usually you can't put the brake pedal down 100% anyway, because that would just lock the tires or activate the ABS, so it doesn't matter if your right foot has less power than the left one. But leftfoot braking is an excellent technique when you go around a corner that doesn't have a significant slowdown, but maybe dirt, mud or a weird bumpyness. full and direct control for weight transfer.
I do appreciate your info and you obviously have knowledge on the basic idea of left foot braking but please watch Team O'neils multiple videos on left foot braking and message us @shc_media on ig to continue this conversation.
@@sleephardcrew i know that channel. do you have a specific vid in mind?
You took so many screenshots by using both feet on the pedals
Ik I filled my storage 😂
I love this video
Dude is teaching me how to drive like my grandma
How do you keep your foot above the brake without getting tired thoo. Everytime i try doing it my foot gets really tired oof
It takes some muscle after awhile u get used to it
Walt jr. kinda instructional video lol. Fr tho, great vid:):)
Appreciate it!!
I’m left handed so left foot braking has just always been natural for me
Same here although some people do have a hard time or don’t understand why or how
I’m gonna try it, but not sure why you’d wanna lock up the brakes in an emergency, also abs won’t work if the engine stalls so I would care a little bit
The goal is not to lock up the brakes the goal is too brake as hard as u can with out locking the brakes and what was said was “if the vehicle comes to a complete stop whilst in gear, it’s not that big of a deal you will just stall out”
Bro just started the car w out the clutch
Big up for the $B in the intro ! :D

What happened to toes on the break, heel on the gas?
My feet are too big
sick outrooo
I wonder how many people will absolutely total their car after watching this video when snow hits. :)
For the pursuit of knowledge 😂
Only issue I got with left foot is no space between clutch and break with big feet lol

Wait... do people not use their left for for breaking usually?
1:30 This is mainly said because most people are bad at LFB, and they drag the brakes. This causes uneeded excessive wear. Otherwise agreed 🏎️
Very true
That was awesome
B series?
oh yeah, we finna WHIP the 17 Civvy
We all know how left foot brakers drive. Just ask takumi
What seats do you have
They are just some fixed back pro car seats
Can you do this in car with aby?
Yes you can there are multiple systems amongst newer cars that make it more difficult, to the point you might want to disconnect some features such as throttle kill switch when depressing the brake pedal(where when you are on throttle and use the brake simultaneously it cuts throttle input)
Instead of left foot breaking, why dont you just use your third leg for braking?
Would if I could😔
Left foot breaking is only used in racing for various reasons, none of which apply for everyday driving. It is reckless and dangerous to recommend kids learn this on their manual shitboxes as a superior way to drive only so they feel like they're actual race car drivers. The only thing they are doing is endangering themselves and others by not learning proper technique and not having a good response time in an actual emergency situation (where you need total control of your car not just a fast break response time, which is a negligible difference between left and right foot).You will never be in a situation where you need to be on throttle and break at the same time, but you will constantly be using your clutch and break together. People do not need to know this and they need to develop normal muscle memory over years of driving a manual transmission. Not to mention it overheats your breaks and puts unnecessary wear on them. I understand you need content, but put a disclaimer in the beginning that this is not for everyone, not to advertise it as a superior way to drive.
I appreciate the sentiment, although I find what you say credible in terms of driving in and around a city in a desert but I live in the mountains where all of these techniques are highly valuable and knowing these items (especially left foot braking) has helped keep me personally out of a lot of heartache.
@@sleephardcrew I also live in an elevated area where snow and ice are not uncommon. In a dangerous situation it is crucial to slow down your vehicle to the point you have safe grip and can maneuver your self around the dangerous situation. Not to slam on the breaks stall your car and just plow in a straight line. Speaking as someone with 300k miles driving only manual cars if i were listening to this kind of advice i would be dead by now from the situations i have been in. Regards from Europe where we actually know how to drive manual cars.
I was driving at night and an intersection that had a straight away arrow, wanst actually a straight through section. I actually made a video about it.
anyways, I’m going through the interscentjon and all of a sudden I realize… that’s not a road. It “dead ends” to the left into a Pizza Hut. Im approaching something. So,I drifted my 90 Corolla no working power steering, and stalled it out. I was parallel to the sidewalk and the fence line… if I didn’t, I would’ve gone into the gorge past the fence. Sadly I blocked the intersection for an extra minute bc I was too busy going “I’m not dead”
Having this knowledge can help save you and your car. People may take that knowledge and do stupid shit, but that’s on them.
That's INSANE!! Glad your ok and appreciate the story.
Can you do it with auto
Absolutely works with auto
shit what is that song in the beginning I know its $b and germ but cant remember someone remind me please
