Note that is one way to H&T, that particular style is quite difficult to master since you have to be able to maintain a constant pressure on the ball of your
foot (which is on the break pedal) while lifting your heel moving it over the
accelerator and blipping it ...

the other style positioning the ball of your foot partially over the break pedal
and partially over the accelrator is (IMHO) easier since you dont have to lift
your heel off the floor .. you just roll it pressing down with the outside of
your foot on the accelerator ...

YMMV

.......if your feet are wide/long enough. Once you master one way then the other way is pretty simple to do if you ask me.

Sick video though.

Yeah with my legs that's the only way I can do it. 6'4'' with a short torso.

Interesting! Seems as though the driver is not using much trail braking (or that his trail braking periods are very short)?
