This winter when it was too slick to really charge the corners I would spend time practicing sliding the rear on acceleration in an open field. I can't say I'm an expert at it or anything, but I managed my first full doughnut while standing this winter on mud and grass. It felt pretty cool to keep the rear spinning and sliding while standing. I'm hoping this translates well to the trails when the rear slides out at times. I prefer to slide the rear end under acceleration when necessary, but I can't say that it always works out like I plan it.
