and, I dunno, but to me, "Power Slide" implies the application of power, and nothing you could do on roller-blades or skateboards or whatever comes close. sliding a bicycle under power is pretty darn hard, never mind foolish.
Nothing I can do on Rollerblades comes close to the technique known as power slide.
I guess my point was the term has at least one meaning that differs from the meaning you were aware of. Dissing motorsport was just the gravy.
I learned a meaning of power slide from your post. You don't need to know what it means in Rollerblading but you can learn from me that it is different and the phrase has more than one definition.
I think when applied to bicycling, power slide may have a different meaning as well, but of course the motorsport definition will always be the best and most important one!
