well neither wheel is locked so its not technicaly a slide, right?

I think its where the back is spinning slightly slower than the front that its gives the impression of a slide.

Doesn't have to be locked to be a slide, just a difference in speed between rubber and tarmac.

Edit: no, he's backing it in
