Talk:Scandinavian flick

message: Apparently this is the same technique as used by motorcyclists and cyclists but is known as "Countersteering". Perhaps we could add a link? 203.46.95.243 00:51, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

message: If Opposite lock is another name for this, you may want to cross-link or merge the two articles. If not, please explain the difference. -AndrewDressel 15:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: In more or less the same sense, a scandinavian flick is performed the same as a feint drift. With the only difference between the two being the purpose, I propose this merge. --Blackhawk charlie2003 14:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: "Every time you turn, the centrifugal force attempts to cause your vehicle to continue moving straight."
-- Someone had BETTER change that because centrifugal force is a fiction force, it doesn't actually exist. Anyone who knows that would probably find this page poorly researched and/or thought out. Colonel Marksman (talk) 00:45, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I think that the illustrated picture should be corrected to show the direction that the vehicle is driving, as it might be confusing when the .svg doesn't show anything more than a rectangle and a line.

replies: text: Seems like the diagram would be clearer if it showed the direction the (front) tires are aimed in, at each point. 2601:601:9A7E:C70:15C8:38E7:5C14:A3BA (talk) 16:14, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

message: Ari Vatanen and Rauno Aaltonen did not drive during the 60's, which disqualifies them from being first doing anything connected to flicking. In fact the technique was used to prevent hard corner breaking with power cars as early as the 50's, but was perfected when the frontwheel-drive appeared at rally's top level - both winter and summer. Names like Erik Carlsson, Stig Blomqvist, and Björn Waldegård should have been mentioned instead. In fact, summer gravel has similar properties to snow at higher speeds, so the flick was to some extent used even with the rearwheel-drive Volvo PV and the Volkswagens with their rear-mounted engines. There is also a winter variant where the car's rear is forced into the outside snow-drift, which reputably enables a higher corner entry speed and/or straighter exit. However, I can not find a quotable source for these facts, so I do not alter the article this time. I prefer discussion to erasure.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.68.54.57 (talk) 06:38, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the article state that the intention of the maneuver is to build up rotational energy, NOT angular momentum like it currently does? It is rotational energy that determines the total angle a rotating body travels when slowed down by a net torque. Therefore, the increased "turning angle" achieved by using the maneuver is due to the increased rotational energy instead of the increased angular momentum.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.128.181.29 (talk) 20:16, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
