That is some quick thinking and driving in that situation.

I know it's still bad but good thing that Flex hit that other car and moved it out the way. Otherwise, that semi would have done some serious damage.

That's what I thought too. JDM Bumper would've been the last one of his worries.

Glad you made it out of that mess with minor cosmetic damage.

Your video is all over the place BTW.

If your maintaning speed and your on black ice the undriven wheels of a FWD or a RWD car will start to slow down due to bearing and brake pad friction. When this happens even a small swerve like on the video can cause greater loss of control. Plus most cars have ABS for the brake slamming and again if you let up the brake you can get all wheels turning faster with AWD.
The Scandenavian flick uses the power slide to gain traction in bad situations using all wheels to dig into the ice and snow.

Yup. I have seen that at least 3 times on Facebook, and on another 3 forums that I belong to.

Some of the stuff people say about it is funny. Glad you made it out of there okay. I bet you needed a new pair of boxers (or tighty whities if thats your scene) after that.
