save yourself the trouble of getting *****ed at by the forums for your inability to use the search function properly and go out and ride, try to skid, fall, scrape yourself of the pavement and do it again. thats how everyone else learned how to do it, not by some "hippo in denali" 101 video.
go ride your bike and you'll figure it out.

I too am really getting sick of the attitude of most of the people on here... the funny thing is that most people posting this **** have only been on the forum < 6 months and they're acting like veterans! hah.... lame
