Fishtailing to an extreme, anyone???

I was wondering if there is anyone else doing this it's not a usefull racing technique, but more of a fun thing to do... however it can be dangerous at times especially at higher speeds... for the ones who don't know how its done here is a site that explains it :

This is one of my favourites during the winter although i have also done it on wet surfaces, it's best done on snow... I have tried it in a fwd , but since i have been driving rwd for the last 3 years I have had more experience with that... this is easily performed at speeds of 40-60kmh i have done it even with 90 kmh however as I decided to quit I let go off the gas too quickly and almost span out (it can be very dangerous at times) I also witnessed once an audi quattro fishtailing with 120-130 kmh on a snowy highway... basically it should be done until the car grips itself but I have never had the combination of balls and share stupidity to take it that far... Has anyone done so?? any experiences???
