Absolutely criminal that you have so little views man, your vids are great, good and short explanations and the editing feels professional, hope your channel gets more traction in the future
As a retired rally driver I have some comments, left foot braking is for mid corner direction changes not as precise as right foot because of bodyweight shift forward even with correct belts. Using left foot braking continuously even correctly can lead to high brake temperatures I recomended switching from right to left foot during the turn in phase is will allow you to downshift using the clutch during the braking phase
I just recently crashed due to not knowing my car didn't have abs, slammed on the brakes and my wheels locked, after I figured out my car doesn't have abs I'm trying to learn threshold braking
I have a 96 prelude vtec and 01 prelude type sh both 5spd I chose to keep ABS in both of them because as a 4th gen civic guy performing a k swap into a CRX I know my driving skill will need improved considerably.
@@sleephardcrew It is when you feel that you brake is hard and doesn't want to move further ? Cause I have a feeling that is, when I brake slowly I can press as much as I can, but if I brake fast, the brake pedal is very hard and will get stuck
So your essentially using manual abs, no wonder its stops better lol. The level of control would provide an advantage over traditional abs though for sure
Poor demonstration on gravel, threshold braking does not work on loose surfaces you need to lock up to let your wheels pile up gravel. On asphalt, it works exactly as you say although I much prefer to progressively load up the front axle while increasing brake pressure, stomping on the pedal before giving the opportunity for the suspension to load up will increase the likelihood of skidding,
If there isn’t ice underneath then you would be partially correct, but as the wheels lock up on snow (yes some would pack in front of the wheels to help slow it) but your also packing and smoothing the snow your tire is making contact with thus making it more slippery.
@@sleephardcrew I think it depends on how much snow, sand and gravel there is. I think you need at least 1 inch of snow or sand or gravel to pay off. Its more theoretical because its not really practical to lock the wheels for too long because you have no control while doing it.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s all about finding what works best for you!
Homies popping off with this one!
Dude, you are a fantastic teacher. I like the way you explain things and show the techniques. Thank you
I love this channel sm
this is the best. wish i watched this before i crashed my first car into a pole LMAO. character development.
😂
Nice car brother
Thanks 👍it sure is a blast
Love your rust box, great vids keep em up
also, threshold braking gives you an opportunity to turn in dangerous situations, since the lack of abs
Very true!

Underrated channel
Amazing stuff!
Damn bro 5 months old 5k views? Seems like you deserve more.
super slowed Billy Idol song at the start?

Keep it up!
How do you feel the point before your wheels lock up?
Just takes practice to know

Does your car have ABS? Threshold braking is applied with cars that have no ABS @@heddess3347
is this manual ABS, or is it different?
Better than ABS if done correctly
are you in central coast?
No we are based out of New Mexico
@@sleephardcrew oh dope
🙌🏽
I love the wet fart exhaust note ❤

I still didn't get it.

Good explanation I hadn’t ever thought about loading the suspension progressively while braking.
threshold braking isnt good at snow. Better off locking the wheels.
