Credit where credit is due, it's popularly known as the Scandinavian flick.

What he said in the vid at ~1 minute mark is very important.... do it on the street and you may get lucky, or you may bust a wheel/tire on a curb, but more likely you'll end up in a ditch hopefully upright, probably upside-down, wondering how much your insurance rates are about to go up.

There's also the chance the cops will see the skid marks and give you a citation for their version of street racing, which will get you a big fine and non-payment by insurance.

TL;DR
Keep it on the track
