Hey guys, i just want to know what is a high side or low side?!
Is it when you go to far to the side of the road or curve?!
thanks.

 

Low side is when you are at a lean and bike slides out from under you-when you hit the pavement, your bike slides ahead of you.

High side is when you are thown off of your bike and it slides behind you and hopefully don't hit you.

Not real good explainations, but that is the best way I know how to describe it.

 

no. low side is when you are going through an apex and lose your grip, and your 'low side" sweeps from underneath you

 

It's basically the two ways you can crash.

Low side is a less than perfect day (tires losing grip and you sliding feet first with your bike in front of you).

High side is a real ****ty day (Bike flopping to the outside, throwing you headfirst, landing hard, and waiting for the bike to hit you).

 

Nice! Now that makes sence, this whole time is was trying to fiqure out what it was.

Here is a wickedly fast highside.

 

^^^dats sux....@ least he got up on his feet by himself...which must do

 

Worst of all is the low side that turns into a high side. If both wheels sliding become both wheels with too much lateral traction, it becomes a human trebuchet.

No fun.

 

my friend just got into an accident yesterday. riding a harely some woman in front of him froze when she saw him in her mirror cuz she was turning right and slammed on her brakes cuz she thought he was going to .. uh ...go through her some how and brake in front of him? makes no since to me but he got slammed into a suburban on his left and hi sided into the asfault. luckily he did NOt get ran over.

just hope when you go down its a low side and its not bad
