125-200cc The "High Side" - Step by Step, by the 'Lientenant'

So...was working with Rob about momentum and carrying corner speed, gearing going in etc etc into corners...and he was rockin it...

So...later on in the afternoon...had my camera out and he started kickin things up a bit more each lap....

So he comes into this banked corner with a few different lines to choose...and he brought in good momentum....eyes lazer focused on the line he wants..






Snags the line (little rut just enough to catch the front tire = ruts are your friend !!!)





back on the gas good and solid, looking down the track for his exit line...
good stuff LT ! ! !






at the exit now, full beans, line picked and ready to go....








LT drifted off his rut a touch, and got over some harder packed surface....Yup son thats a slide.....




He chopped the throttle....S12 bit and snapped upright like a tripped mouse trap

Yup, classic high side, over the bars -

All I saw boot bottoms and butt.....


Now you know son..... how it feels to hit the ground like a set of car keys.....




Awesome watching my son rip UP the track.......

Good stuff ! ! ! !
