Lightbulb The proper way to heel-toe in a G/Z (video)

OK...
Just to visually express how to proper perform a heel-toe in the G/Z...
Video script

First lift off throttle
Hard on the brakes
Clutch in
Roll your ankle
Blip the throttle with your heel
Shift into gear
Clutch out
...

File size - 6 megabytes in quick time movie format

Side note: I am asian so i dont wear american sized shoes such as 14EEE and I wore socks so the process can be clearly captured on video.

pedal to the medal will usually end up in locking the tires though.

I find it MUCH easier to just roll the right side of your foot on to the gas and keep the left side on the brake. Only works if you have well endowed feet, though.

I don't know about you guys but my size 13's are too damn big to even think about heel-toe'ing.

So does this mean everytime you take a hard corner at the track your ABS kicks in?

Never been to the track so i'm curious.
