I don't know...  The cornering was cool, but sticking your lowside foot down is retarded.  What is the logic behind that?  Looking cool I guess...

-Turd.
But that seems to be standard practice in motard from what little I've seen.  Looks like a good way to break a leg to me.

It's the same philosophy behind motocross riding, which is essentially what supermotard is: dirt riding on the street. You're pushing the bike til the tail slides and you use your foot to stabalize the bike creating a tripod.

EDIT: Here's some REAL Supermoto http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3085836475561057708&q=supermoto&pl=true

Yeah, even the supermoto logo has a guy with his leg out...hmmm.  I don't really know much about it I guess.

Even in that video, some of those corners weren't being slid, yet a guy had his leg out...?  I derno.

I think it becomes habit after a while, a just in case type thing.

You gotta damn good at picking your gear...  Hard to shift without having your foot on the shifter.

Nice dismount at the end.  Kinda hard to do without an assist.
