i cant see the video. however recently i was driving(car) and a sport bike flew past me on this nice long sweeping curve, its slightly banked he was doing at least 90+. the turn is not that sharp and he almost had his knee down as he blew past me(speed limit 35). was pretty impressive, but i dont think he really knew what he was doing, i think the turn caught him off guard or he was just stupid. the road has alot of nasty cracks in it. when i ride my tires get stuck in them.. hate to be in a heavy lean like he was and have my front tire get stuck in a crack ya know ; \

That was great! I would love to do that myself! I know I'm nowhere near that good but I think it would be a blast to compete in something like that and it would be an excellent way to build your skills. If you did something like that on a regular basis, I think you could gain a lot of confidence in your bike. I would love to have a track like that in my neighborhood.

You probably do already... you just need to provide the painted tennis balls cut in half and the elementary school parking lot! :lol:
