    What stops the bike from highsiding? Couldn't it quite as easily grip the back wheel then throw you off? Seen loadsa people do it but never seen a crash as a result

    To be honest Mark I'm far more comfortable with a squirming front tyre and or rear wheel waving around in the air than I've ever been at nailing a bike out of a corner under power or popping big wheelies.

    I think I was mentally scared at 17 when I highsided at DT175MX and landed on me tail bone!

    Taz haunted me ever since and lack of winding on corner exit power is my main loss of lap times I feel! :(
