I believe the answer is:

spin

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

This 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 am not sure about 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" .)
