Ok, so I'm a decent player (2 star rank and about 7000 on WiFi and everything unlocked) but I still use automatic drifting. I notice all the best players use manual and I'd really like to get better at it.

I can just about win on 150cc with manual drift, but still find it difficult. Are there any particular tracks/vehicles that are good for practising this? I'd really like to get this nailed.

I use the nunchuk, hate the wheel.

I normally use Toad with the cheep charger/quacker, or if I'm a medium, mach bike or royal racer. I'm open as far as large characters go.

I'm more interested about tracks or exercises, whatever, to practise with

Yeah I've started to notice how releasing the stick gives you a bit more control. Yeah that helps.

Do different bikes have different characteristics in that sense?

Ok cool, thanks.

I'll give it all a shot

Thanks guys, yeah I've pretty much got it now. I guess it was a matter of practice. I'm starting to use it online now and doing just as well as I normally do.

Got it nailed now

I use the Bullet bike mainly and finally hit the 8000 rating
