Watch the first guy... Wtf?

The only thing I can think of is that the rear wheel has no traction (it's spinning up) and he's steering conventionally (not countersteering) therefore moving sideways without leaning?

What law of physics is this!

Must be some serious foot peg weighting going on there.

I would swear the fornt wheel is pointing slightly in the direction he slides, but that makes no sense at all.

I saw a very similar thing happen last weekend on WSB (Same track and same corner) Maybe its the camber on the corner, who knows, it's freaky tho.

Brakes and camber.

heavy front braking and the back end must be reacting to his hip into that possition, normally the back slides around alot under hard brakeing, thats the only explaination i can come up with.
