The Island SD or Island speedslide is a variation of speedslide used in the Island environment. Unlike its Stadium counterpart, a reversed angle is required, which means that the car has to be slightly rotated in the opposite direction in order to activate and steer into the slide. Island speedslides also have a steering range (between around 4000-30000 at 500 speed) that is not overlap dependent, meaning that an optimal slide is one that turns the tightest.
Triggering the Island speedslides is possible in many different ways, such as landing at a slight angle opposite the speedslides direction and then steering in the speedslides direction to lock into it.

Island speedslides are generally useful, but it depends on some cases.
