I've heard of counter steering, but this is ridiculous!!

I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe that this guy isn't just about to fall off his bike!!

How does he stay on??

He might be holding it on his knee.

It looks like he has crashed tbh. Smile

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Yeah, it looks like he's just scoping out whereabouts the bike is about to spit him off.

It's speedway...but on a sports bike!
I agree though, definitly looks like he's going for a slide or a fly.
Have a look on google to get a guide on how to ride speedway, it's the same kind of thing.

judging from that pic id say he was just about to come out the apex there but its really hard to see cause the cameras to close, nice however, may have to try this when i get a big bike though i doubt il be able to get it to slide that far out

Power sliding, but on a bike, you see it done all the time, remember at that sort of speed, the gyroscopic affect of the wheels makes balancing much easier, and the impossible becomes a piece of cake. wouldn't try it on a cbr125 though Karma

Doesn't look like he binned it?? He's at somewhere close to near lean and I bet the yokes are touching the lock stops. Yes, there is a lot of rear wheel spinning and sliding in racing but not to that extreme.

I've seen a video clip of this guy or someone like him sliding around corners like that. Full power slides with smoke and all. Thumbs Up

It looks like a mid-crash picture to me.
Whatever he is doing though, I don't wanna be recreating that anytime soon. Praying
