Thanks. But I'm confused: what part of "Watch Me High Side a Supermoto" caught you off guard? [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

When do you ever expect a high side?  ;)

sorry, meant at THAT corner/point in the vid...  didn't seem like you were hanging it out too much on that corner...

It's really hard to tell with the helmet cam. But I really wasn't going all that hard: just trailed the rear brake too far into the corner...I should've been off the brake and on the gas a lot sooner :)
