lol this looks to me like they have taken the picture the millisecond before he falls off  :laugh:

If this is really how close to the ground they get its epic

Yeah, I thought exactly the same when I watched the MotoGP today.

Something to do with momentum, centrifugal force, and very sticky rubber!

Casey Stoner's bike handling skills are especially epic  :notworthy:

You are forgetting Mu the coefficient of friction which is the biggest reason they don't fall off.

Best feeling in the world sliding around a corner like that, (not that i have been that low  :laugh: )
But i love the feeling of the bike sliding sideways through the cormer and balancing it on the knee.
Epic picture.

A fast car is just a substitute  :signLOL:

They must have the "Don't give a f*ck" switch enabled.

Push bike injuries are enough for me, a recent 20MPH off has me seeking pills every 4 hours.  :signIWS:
