Okay, here is the second-to-last pic...
...and it looks grim.
Seems that there are a lot of optimistic KBers out there (although my comments aren't giving much away!)
All will be revealed shortly...
He's a goner: Lost it!
He can make it: Saved it!
...there lurks the skid demon

By now you're all bored of the 1000RR high-side
So, it's time to post the aftermath...
Yes, this rider LOST IT.
I think if he'd gassed it from the start he might have spun it all the way out the corner exit, but he's obviously gotten off the throttle, tyre gripped, and bike bucked him off.
Rossi would have saved it, no doubt.

You are an optimistic bunch aren't you

He lost it in style though! Wonder if he knew the camera was watchin him?
Playin' around
First pic looked like the front was starting to slide - thought at this point he'd lost it. Second pic the front was gripping, the back was sliding - now he's saved it. Third pic, he's off the gas, and off the bike, and its going over - lost it for sure. Fourth pic - the bikes come back and he's nearly back on it - its a nailbiter, but it's looking like a heroic save could be on the cards. Fifth pic - all over, confirmed "lost it".
Good sequence of shots, cheers for sharing that.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Who's up for babysitting.....?
Yay! I voted right! And on the first picture too
Really good sequence! (hope the guy was OK!!)
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

So how do you save a highside then? I was still on full throtle when I highsided...
Kiwi back at home!
Was the rear spinning or did it grip?! I am guessing that your 250? would not of been powerful enough to maintain the loss of traction and regripped throwing you
Just faidin away!
I remain the supreme optimist, he can still save it! ....Next picture please!.... John.

next photo would an interesting one, he looks like hes about to face plant the ground. and maybe forced splits too. shame tho i thought he would save it, open right up and keep that spin going, front wheel pointing in right direction.
.
I've always wondered... has anyone ever got their leg stuck in the back wheel doing this?
Weekend cruiser
Ive seen a guy get his leg caught in someone elses bike, he was lucky it was only a 50cc mayhem race. pretended to kick out at a faster bike as it went past and foot got jamed between wheel and shock, old double shock bike. It worked tho, he took both bikes down for serveral laps while they unbolted the shock.

Yeah thats basically what happened, both tyres were sliding then my front griped and I was sweet then my rear suddenly griped and pulled me over but I was still full on throtle and was still grinding my peg with all my weight of the bike.
Kiwi back at home!
who cares if your bike is gutless it dont matter if your on half or full throttle the rear is still going to grip again, and the grinding the peg was probally not helping the rear loosing traction in the first place
