Hey- pavement sliding is kinda fun. It's the $$ repairing the damage that sucks.

I think it was staged... as the bike seems to stand itself up... and it continues around the corner and goes straight down the track... but it's cool none the less

Is this the vid of the guy that jumps off the bike? Yeah, it's faked.

However, I did do something similar at Barber. My first wreck the bike's rear came around and snapped back and threw me off. It stood straight up thanks to my electronic steering damper and stayed up til it hit the wet grass and feel over at like 5 mph.

I heard it happened to a pro racer too. The bike bounced up after it tossed him and actually passed two other bikes.

Dude in the video almost got himself killed. He should have run off the track to the inside of the corner as soon as he got up instead of standing around like a dumbass.
