A technique that I have found very useful is to practice full lock turns. In order to do this, you will be using both rear and front brakes as well as the clutch and to a limited extent, the throttle.
This is great stuff for new riders as well as good practice for seasoned riders. Once you can get comfortable making slow controlled full lock turns (in both directions) while sitting or standing, your ready to make it harder. Do it on the side of a hill. Try it in mud, rocks, everywhere.
Once you have this skill down, you might be able to pull off the feet up slow speed 180-degree power slides while standing and be ready for the next obstacle. I practice this skill all the time and it helps me tremendously!
