The original article is about counter steering in bicycles and motorcycles to initiate a turn, not counter steering (or "opposite lock") in a car (or motorcycle/bicycle) in response to oversteer.
That said, they're quite all quite interesting phenomena in vehicle dynamics.
- sph 4y agoThe flick is not about responding to oversteer. It's about using the physics of weight transfer to more easily negotiate a turn. On a rally car, the counterweight is the car itself, on a bike, it's the human.
- exDM69 4y agoI guess they have some superficial similarity but the vehicle dynamics are really different. In a scandi flick, the weight transfer is used to unload weight from the outside tyres to make them slip. In two wheel counter steering it's to initiate a balanced lean to the inside. In both cases, the driver turns the steering to the "wrong" direction.
