That's not McCoy's best slide vid though. Still can't beat the slide-into-wheelie on the twosmoker...

me too.
+1

No idea how he drifted the bike to the inside of the turn. I'm thinking it was some sort of optical illusion, b/c I don't see how that's possible.

Re: Nice Sliding
The rear wheel is off the ground. It starts turning in when he swings his leg out and steers. The guy behind him does it a bit too if you watch closely.

Stunning bit of riding, that had to feel VERY weird.

Seeing stuff like that makes one realize how much they suck. He's even grabbing downshifts while moonwalking.

Vermulen.

Rossi gets the rear tire off and initiates the slide too, but it's the "normal" slip angle.

Vermulen's was all crazy.

I thought so. I still am just not grabbing the concept in my head. It's one thing to understand how it is being done, another to be able to do it, and yet still a third, if you can't even grasp the concept.

Guess I'm dumb.
