Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })You are a Badass Biker and you want to enter with style with your two-wheeled monster. Want to stop it with style and look as cool as possible? An easy way to do so is slamming on the brakes so your bike skids away from the camera, perpendicular to the direction of the skid and angled so that both the side and top of the vehicle are visible until it stops (and if the slide includes lightning, much better). This is what this trope is about: a bike slide stopping with style, a way to cement your driving skills, or your status as The Hero of your show.
The Trope Codifier is the AKIRA shot during the bike gang fight scene, when after Kaneda defeats the leader of the Clowns and makes this sliding stop. This is more known as the "AKIRA bike slide", which was the previous name of this trope. Even when the bike slide was a resource used before, it wasn't until this anime movie that the shot became homaged/parodied in more ways than you think.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Sub-Trope of Stock Shout-Outs and Homage Shot. If you can do this, then you're a Badass Biker, or even a Badass Driver if you can make it in four wheels as well. Also, this is a good Dynamic Entry and/or Big Entrance if you're on two wheels. Bonus points if your cool stop is done with a Cool Bike. Of course, this is made as a Rule of Cool for fictional works only and doesn't take any issues of Motorcycle Safety, so Don't Try This at Home!note The most common risk to attempting this is what is known as a "lowside crash", where the bike slips out from under the rider and both end up skidding along the ground, with the bike "leading" the skid; however, it can also easily result in a "highside crash", in which the bike (usually through the tires suddenly finding traction in the road such as a rough spot or sudden pothole) violently flips over into the direction that the vehicle is skidding, throwing the rider with it so that the rider is the one "leading" the skid, which is extremely dangerous; neither situation is ideal, but "lowside" crashes are considered to be the "safer" crash because the bike can cushion the rider from impact of anything in the way, and is at much less risk of crushing the rider, which is a very real risk during a "highside" crash — not to mention that the rider will be the first thing that hits any obstacles in the way, which will usually be followed by the motorcycle smashing into the rider.

There's an animated gif from Adventure Time where Finn was mounting Jake as a motorcycle making this pose, even appearing on Crunchyroll's article. However, it's confirmed this is a fanart gif instead of coming from the series.

Happens twice one after the other in DEATH BATTLE!'s "Link vs. Cloud (2021)". During their Fenrir vs Master Cycle Zero Chase Fight, first Cloud does the stopping pose in a forward direction whilst firing some Lightning Materia while Link does the traditional AKIRA bike slide stop at the end of the tunnel to face his opponent, before eating the Lightning spell.

Being the definitive homage to AKIRA and The Simpsons ever made, the Real Trailer, Fake Movie animation of BARTKIRA from 2015 can't be out of references for both franchises. Inspired by this animation, many artists made a lot of fanarts, and one of them made this scene◊ with Bart (as Kaneda) in noneless than into the living room as a Couch Gag.

In episode 10 of Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, Asakusa and Hanamori ride their bikes, but then Hanamori overtakes Asakusa and stops in front of her with this slide. As the "love letter" to the anime industry this series is, Hanamori's slide is a clear homage to this scene, with her bike being red and even having the lightning when she brakes.

Batman: The Animated Series: In "Robin's Reckoning", Robin arrives at the pier on his bike just in time to save Batman from Tony Zucco, power sliding to a stop as he does so in a very clear homage to the AKIRA anime.
