Let go as you approach the wall and then step on the gas again.

Method 1

Method 1 of 1:

Downhill (Canyon) Drifts

1
For Canyon Drifts, the car's handling will be largely different as the car slides more going downhill. As a general strategy, release the gas when the car is sliding towards the outside, and pull the e-brake when it slides towards the inside.
- Pulling the e-brake will cause the car to slide further towards the outside of the track, which also helps the car spin more.
- Your speed affects the points you gain exponentially.
- Using NOS will make the car tend to go straight.
2
Know how the gas pedal will affect your movement. Flooring the gas will cause the car to slide and the car spins at a normal rate. Releasing the gas will cause the car to go to the inside more, and spins at a higher rate.
3
End your combos. Do not be afraid to hit the walls when ending your combos. You will still get half of the points and the multiplier, so it is always better to hit the sides trying to go fast than drifting like a turtle for the entire course.
