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.

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.

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
