Angry Birds Go?

Anyone here play? How do I make them drift. I am addicted to this stupid game. I'm mad though because there are challenges to beat your friends scores and it says it's loading them but for the past few days it's stuck and won't load my friend's scores or record whether I am beating them or not. Stupid game but fun all the same.

they'd come out with some new tracks.

I finished all the tracks and have my cars fully upgraded so except for the challenges which are getting close to impossible there really isn't anything else to do.

You might try logging out of and back into your facebook app to see if it will reload your friends scores.

I am really having trouble with the drifting. Don't really get how to make them drift? I will try logging out then reloading. Thanks!

I find drifting gets a little easier with a car almost fully powered up on the top speed and acceleration ratings. The higher your CC the easier it is to drift but also the easier it is to drive into a wall. If your handling rating on the cart is a little lower you'll also find it easier to drift because it's not as "stuck" to the road.

I found the easiest way to practice it is when you enter a straight section. From the center of the track turn your car slightly left or right until the back is a little bit off to the side and you can see the cart profile, but not so much that you drive straight into a wall. As soon as you see that, turn the car in the opposite direction hard and the back will swing over. If you've done it right the drift counter should go up one. Once you start this you can switch left and right to snake your way all the way down the straightaway and get multiple drifts.

You can also drift into corners with some practice but when you do always try to straighten out a bit and hit it again to get another drift on the counter.

I seemed to have the most trouble with the challenges telling me to collect fewer than 5 coins or only hit one boost pad.

On the less than five coins ones I try to go off to the sides but then another car hits me and pushes me into them.
