Neither the list in the book nor the list in the achievements menu is complete.

I did it on the last track in solo career set to novice. I picked the McLaren for this course because it seems to slide the easiest without being completely out of control like the Ferrari F50 GT. The track is wide open so as long as you're not completely stupid clean race is cake, also on novice you could easily lap all the other cars which makes it easy to get way ahead of them to get the Air, Two Wheels, and 360! Kudos. I start off trying to get the Draft, Overtake, and Overtake (Draft) kudos then once I do that I just blow by them getting a few random drifting kudos until I'm spaced out enough to get the harder ones like 360 Air and two wheels, once that's done just work on the drift/slide-list.

Also Clean Race IS required, that means you can't touch a single wall or a single other car EVER. This makes draft pass one of the hardest things to get because honestly the other cars just go too damn slow.
Top Speed is also required so make sure you set something record worthy on the stretch (don't crash). Neither of those will show up during the race, just make sure you do them. Everything else I've listed will show up during the race (including Fastest Lap).

For Air and Two Wheels the hairpin turn just before the last stretch is the best place to get them the apex of that corner is like a jump it you hit it straight at a good speed you'll catch air no problem, if you hit it a bit slower with just the left side of your car you can get Two wheels. (if you have trouble with 2 wheels try turning a little when you hit it to shift your weight).

Here is a breakdown of how to perform the various types of slides. from "megasnake" on the gs forums:

E-Brake Slide (using the handbrake to slide)
Feint Drift (when the turn comes up, steer in the opposite direction of the turn shortly then suddenly turn the wheel to the right direction at full force to make the car's weight shift slide the car in order to make the corner)
Braking Drift (use the brakes to slide)
Power Over (slide through a corner using your cars rev power to create a slide, so basically overuse the gas to slide)
Power Feint (combination of feint drift and power over , best done by releasing gas in front a corner doing the feint drift and apply a lot of gas while turning the wheel)
Braking Feint ( apply the power feint maneuver but instead of gas use brake , hard to pull off because the game will often see it as braking drift instead)
Braking Power Over ( approach a corner much to fast , then just in front of the corner release the gas , AFTER THAT just hit the brakes hard while maneuvering your car through the corner)

What I did was write down a list of all the maneuvers and paid attention on the screen, whenever I earned something I paused the game and checked it off... I was able to get this badge in 3 tries. The first try I missed on of the slides, I didn't know how to do, then I found the above descriptions.The 2nd try I hit another car in the first lap trying to draft pass so I just exited, and the 3rd try I got it.
