Never done it myself, but I've heard that the rear brake is used by some.

fishtail? Please.....
i used to love doing that when i had a second gear now ive figuredout how to do it without second, i used first, good stuff. lets me set my turns up.

ok, a controlled skid? how's that work for you?
Heres my thoughts and expertise:
-grab a few zip ties
-grab two buckets
-zip tie one bucket on each side of the gas tank/seat area
-however, leave slack on the zip ties so the buckets can move after you start leaning and sliding the rear
-dump your nuts into the open buckets
Ancient Chinese secret: One must have extra buckets to carry ones balls if your backing it in.....
not a skid, it's a slide
I don't know about controlled every time I do it I wind up on my ass.lol
Stomping on the rear brake is cool makes a noise and smells good. I'm still trying to figure out how much clutch and front brake to use. Every time I start a good slide I chicken out and drop a knee down. Achie makes it look easy.
You got a slipper, thats like cheating.
I'm a chicken shit...too scared to purposely get the rear end to slide. Bet it's a hoot though once you get it, eh?

Ya and I still cant do it worth a shit. Need to add a left hand rear brake set up, or a rear tire oiler. LOL
I figured it out while I was at Miller for R2SL.
Oh, you probably want to know what I learned...
At IMI I kept trying to do it in 2nd... Hard on the front brake, light on the rear, change down from 4 to 2, turn in, slowly let the clutch out. Over and over. I'd get a little slide, but not a good one.
Then at Miller, there was an obvious first gear corner, so hard on the front brake, light on the rear brake, change down from 3 or 4 to 1, slowly let the clutch out, AND THE HANDLE BAR WENT THE OPPOSITE WAY ALL THE WAY TO LOCK! Freakin' sweet. Over and over.
So the secret is, go to first.
And no, I don't have a slipper clutch.
Dave I got your PM but haven't replied 'cause I'm lame
