Low speed high side video
I posted this because other than the other craziness in the video, it shows a good very low speed highside. Look how far the guy ends up away from the bike, and at such a slow speed. I was going 40mph on a dirt road when I did a highside, and got tossed a long way. There's a lot of force when the bike flips over to the high side. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

It's somewhat like an invisible catapult launch. I am always amazed at the forces involved in a motor vehicle occupant ejection during a rollover. Vaults and flips are something we definitely need to avoid.

Low side is when the bike goes over on it's side, and the tires are leading the way in the direction of travel.
A high side is when it suddenly goes from what was said above, to flipping over and the tank and seat are now leading the way in the direction of the slide. It's the flipping from one, to the other, that produces what can be violent force catapulting the rider. |

So here's a guy planning to do a wheelie in front of a camera with not very much run out area to stop. Plus the stopping area is WET. . . and he's not wearing any kind of protective gear.
Not a very well thought out action plan. Don't want to just call him a . . .well I won't say it since I have done some really dumb things myself.

I agree, doing a wheelie into a dead end with puddles must not have even been thought about. Just the bike and the camera. Don't ride to the camera. |

I found the link on the guy doing a "High Side" on purpose.
Classic setup, locks up the rear tire , slides, then releases brake. Flips him right over. An interesting side item is watch when his head hits the curb. That one little shot should make you wear your helmet EVERYTIME. http://www.motoair.com/ Ride safe Shep |

elmoad,
That is a similar advertisment but the one that has the intentional highside and helmet hit is http://www.motoair.com/ The motoair jacket has been discussed before, but I thought the video of the intentional highside was interesting and expecially the last little bit where the stunt man hits his head on the curb. I don't think much of the jacket but it sure proves a point on helmet useage shep |

It didn't work on mine, until I noticed the box at the top of the browser window stating "This website wants to run an ActiveX control..." click on it, and answer yes to the prompt, and it should play.
