Watch the slo-mo; he rides over his own foot, which pops the rear end off the ground.

I think i named this thread incorrectly

It should have been- How to lowside, then highside yourself back to an upright position so you can wheelie out of the corner while looking awesome.

Except he didn't look especially awesome....  more of a goofy, clumsy, embarrassed look.

I can't do that.

So I've got all the component parts down to a science:  lowside, highside, wheelie, looking awesome/goofy/clumsy/embarassed.  It's puttin' 'em all together I'm struggling with.   The vid is a big help.  Gracias.

Previous 3-wheel off-road experience helps greatly!   [laugh]

I bet we'll see more of that move in SuperMoto races to come. It was only a matter of time before that style of sport riding turned elbow and knee dragging.

Its kinda like dirt-tracking...on asphalt. Look at the other racers going through the same turn. They are each dropping their entire body to the ground to make it around the hairpin.
