yourself in a skid, this video may help show you how to handle it...

No video is going to help learning skid recovery without also experiencing a
skid 1st-hand, and recovering from it.

I hate to say it but I agree there. Only practice will teach you how
to do it. Watching a video will give you the theory only. Same as
?Magnulus? who thinks playing racing games will teach him how to drive.

I've always liked Dick Turner's video on autocrossing ... especially
the 'One Cone Turn', technique #4.

When I was a kid I got taken places in sports cars. There was
no such thing as a Nissan Skyline back then. Does a Datsun 280Z
count? Same company, similar market niche.

Wow, awesome wings on some of those cars, almost as big as the one I have on
my Corolla!

See, it's much easier to force a skid in a car with RWD. I was in two skids
in my life. One, when I was in the passanger seat of a Nissan 200TX or
240TX (?) going 80 mph - we spun once or twice and crashed. Another was
when I made a left turn too fast, moving at about 30mph. I didn't intend
for it to happen, but from outside observer's POV it must have looked like
a perfectly-executed power-slide (in a residential area).
