with that bad of a swerve i think best bet would be to let of the gas so it falls back down on its own?
i think tapping the rear brake would be risking locking up the rear tire while leaned over which i think would throw you off the side when it comes down.. but i dont know, if found out i like leaning over in a turn more than doing wheelies ha even tho i figured that out during the msf course hah, draggin muffler on the nighthawk 250 oh ya!

at that speed i find it mind boggling how **** went so bad so quick, usually highway wheelies go back when u come down but maybe he hit a big crosswind or some ****, this is why you stunt with slow **** in parkin lots

I don't feel any different after watching this, or after my friend's death. I'm going home today gonna get the 929 running and put one sky high for him. He'll love it cause he's got the birds eye view now. I'll love it cause thats my riding skill. BUT all riders should know take it slow, let your skill come to you, don't out ride your abilities.

You put that front wheel up in the air and you know that there's always a chance that will happen. I hope the guy recovered fully but have no real sympathy for him, he made the choice.
