I wonder about physics of converting rear-end powerslide into low-side. If front end has more traction than rear at beginning, how does it lose traction if you keep throttle on? Is it because you're increasing speed and eventually overcome traction-limit of front tyre at same lean-angle? If you increase speed, you also have to add lean-angle to stay on same curve. And that can cause low-side?

Standing up bike will add traction to both front & rear tyres. Then you risk running off road!
