I can't believe he managed to avoid getting run over, running straight up the track like that.

I'm not sure that video is real.  It looks like he just lets go and drops off the bike for no apparent reason.  Hmmmm...   Then it looks like the bike may by swaying back and forth, shall we say, artificially.

you win this time BaltimoreGS...it won't happen again.

im sure it was totally staged, but still cool.  check out bike wreck videos on youtube, the sway before it stabilizes appears to be normal

You figure out a way to get a back to sway like that on purpose and I'd be more shocked. All bikes inherently want to go straight, and will wobble like that to stabilize themselves.

Ever ghost-rode junk bikes across parking lots, down stairs, into walls, etc when you were young? One of the kids in my neighbourhood had a trash-pulled bike we used to do this with. When you hop off, the bike wobbles a bit until it stabilizes, then it rolls nice and straight until it slows down and falls over. I imagine a powered bike would continue indefinitely until it hit something.

+1, it has something to do with that gyroscopic effect that makes you have to turn the bars left to initiate right lean and turn.  It also goes in reverse with the absence of rider input when such is necessary to travel in an arc.  That rider just happened to go into a 1st gear steep turn and i believe either the knee down threw him off due to over correction or the puck hit something on the track tossing him off.  Now catching it and continuing on and losing 2 places, that was lucky, but then again if it was a track day its not about position 

[ohgood]

faked.

he took like 6 steps and caught up with a bike that was just leaning at 45 degrees 3 seconds ago ?

nope. it's ollllld too. saw that in 04 or so.

still a cool video.
