raising the nose into the near vertical, then at about 40kts indicated give it the full left foot
Though possible, the opportunity for failure doing this is great, and the outcome of failure very bad. Tail slide.

DO NOT tail slide a C 152! The only really weak part of a 150/152 is the whole tail assembly in torque, or negative G, or worse, both together. Tail sliding one of these is just asking to damage the attachment of the tail, and anyone should consider that to be totally terrifying!
