You can also feather the clutch to get the RPM's up and break the tires loose.

break before the corner, then use the throttle to control the slide, its easyer to stear with the throttle then the break, that way you GAIN momentum comming out of the corner

whats the best way to start a slide around a tight turn......one where you dont have the rpm. high enough to just break lose and slide around it.

While I have not perfected this type of turn, I believe the rear brakes are the key. Don't they call this squaring off in the turn?
When you enter the corner, hit the brakes and lock up the rear. If you lock the fronts the quad will loose steering and push. Turn the corner and once the rear end "sqaurs" off (pointing you in the correct direction) you get on the gas.
The way I look at it is this. There are two types of turns. First is the large sweeping turns. These are body english and throttle control. The other is the tight turn. I look at it as a braking contest going in. Who can hit the brakes the latest. Once the quad is pointed the correct way it is now a drag race.

LASHER has it right. for tight turns us eyour rear break. U can use the gas but it can be tricky. mort of the time you use the rear break to start the turn and then use the gas to power trought it but to much gas and you'll be hating life.

Hit your rear brake and turn into the direction you want the bike to go, if you slide too much just countersteer, then get back on the throttle!

The key is to always keep the wheels spinning and just let it go where it wants to go.
