@ 0:14 for a saved 360 degree spinout!

@ 0:53 for peg sliding on a dirt track!

looks like it's the same technique?

except I thought dirt track sliding was to power out of a turn, and supermoto backing it in was braking

heck, I'd say he's actually drifting on street...not backing it in

The "correct" way to back it in is to stomp a couple down shifts so the rear tire can't spin as fast as it needs to. So it breaks a little traction until the engine and wheel speeds catch back up with each other.

I've seen that video before. That guy has some serious control. Some of his slides the handlebar is almost on the ground.

agreed...fully sideways dragging handlebars on the dirt track is impressive...without crashing too!

and granted I don't have the right bike for it, I've tried stomping down 2-3 gears then slipping the clutch to back it in - if I slip too much it allows the engine speed/wheel speed to match the road speed aggressively, but if I don't slip enough I get a $hit load of wheel chatter. Even if I somehow get a clean break in traction (usually by going pretty fast, shifting weight forward with the brakes, and stomping the rear brake to initiate the slide) - the tire will slide right up until it matches the road speed and gains traction; then it chatters for a second before resuming with normal traction

In dirt track the rear end first breaks free (sideways) due to deceleration and then stays free (sideways) as the rider shifts to acceleration.
