While that stuff is certainly fun, it's not really applicable to street riding too much. You lean the opposite direction and you go slow. On the street, you lean with the turn and go much faster. It may help you in the parking lot, and it's not bad skill to have, but your money/time are much better spent doing a track day and/or advanced riding course which apply to 99% of your daily riding.
