spin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'ride maybe' is the first definition.
'spin' can be an answer for 'ride' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'maybe' bit.

'a sharp turn' is the second definition.
'spin' can be an answer for 'turn' (spin is a kind of turn). I'm not certain of the 'a sharp' bit.

'involving' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spin that I've seen before include "Weasel words" , "Political interpretation; rotate" , "Rotate like toy top" , "Misleading slant on news" , "Turn rapidly on axis" .)
