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.

 

Clean socks

 

Cool video!

Whats that smell? Smells like....................FEET!

 

I'm asian too, but I wear 12's. Guess this ain't happening for me huh.

 

try it anyway?

i mean thats the way i do it...
alot of people use the foot-roll method
but then i call it foot-roll down shift instead of heel-toe
...
a proper heel-toe involves both the heel and the toe

 

Damn Zhan did u take tap dancing lessons when u were young, Lol your footwork is amazing, out of curiousity, this video is an eye opener for the many of the younger folks learning standard and want to know what heel toe is.

 

nice vid... not all asians have small feet like u... lol

 

i think just going outside and practice like an hour you should get pretty much most of it?

 

I'm size 5.5" and its hard for me. I can't ever seem to get my heel to reach the gas pedal.

Couldn't see the video since my new computer is not set up for videos yet but thanks for sharing.

 

thanks B...
i think you can try to bend the gas pedal towards the brakes a little bit?
or use pedal extenders?

 

I've thought about it but I'm afraid I might warp it or worse, break it somehow. I'm still praticing though.

 

Great vid. This is why MY350Z is number 1.

 

Haha, there is no way in hell my feet are doing that. haha
Maybe if I put my foot in a shrink ray or something?

 

Isn't that what Short Round used in the Temple of Doom. Man, I didn't know he could heel/toe. That kid is badazz.

 

I wear 10.5EEE, plus I have broken my ankle twice.. I can't do that.

 

It's harder than it looks though. I tried it before and either hit the brake way too hard, forgot to let out the clutch, or didnt even touch the gas. I just gave up and started rev matching. Much easier.

 

but if you wear nikes....your only size 11

 

I'm sorry but why are we doing this? Is this to perform a burnout without a line-lock or for what?

I don't have sound at work so can't hear anything in the video.

trying wearing some high heels if you cant accelerate

 

ugh huh...
isnt that more or less hand, feet, eye coordination problem than having a broken ankle?
