Hmmm, after a long drift through a corner, sometime I start another drift only to spin out.

If I start another drift before receiving the MT from the previous drift, do I spin out?
Or am I hitting rough on the side of the road that causes me to spin out?

Can't quite determine what is happening.  Anybody know?

This used to happen to me on Luigi Circuit when I was powersliding fiercely without straightening my kart every now and then. I think of it as filling a buffer, and straightening out/letting go of R usually prevents it from filling up too quickly/resets the increment effect of the preceding slide. This is not fact, just how I look at it.
As I'm sure you know, you spin out after circle-sliding for too long, and you gradually build up towards the same situation when you're so frequently driving in the sliding state.

Ok, so it's not about a specific event happening then?  Attempting a powerslide when I hadn't received the MT from the previous, for example?  More like a fluid thing, when you are drifting too much for too long, you end up spinning out?

Yes, as far as I know, at least.
I'm sure containing all the power that triggers a boost while doing another one directly after helps the factor greatly, but I'm very confident it's not specific to an arbitrary situation. It happens for a reason unrelated to the actual spot. It's all in what you do, not where you do it.

I sometimes spin out on Retro Mario Circuit 2 rounding those two turns before the jump. Straightening out my kart before the next turn works for me as well.
