Seen this loads on vids etc where people get the rear wheel sideways when coming out of corners. Looks the dogs, but how is it done?!

Big sticky front tyre, load it, hang on. (I only ever do it by accident and it scares me)

Weight over the front (as you always do!) go faster and most importantly clinch ass muscles as tight as possible. For some reason the 2 go together.

The skill is not so much in getting it to slide but doing it enough but not over cooking it
