.. Lol... Yep.. Its difficult to explain but with the 'J-turn' you have to imagine keeping the throttle floored when you are on full lock.. Lots and lots of wheelspin... Most of these moves are quite violent really..

This video had a good example of both types of throws performed by an expert.. Don't expect to be able to do it this well for quite a while...
