Interesting to see the force created by nearly doing a high side.

I did the same about 1 foot lifting off the seat but faster at around 50 mph ONLY ONCE and saved it after I had to brake VERY hard and for a split second locked up my rear brake following a car INTO THE SUN NOT seeing his brake lights right away when a deer crossed in front of him.  Luckily my sideways rear tire skidding sideways about 30 degrees or so a split second after locking up my rear brake stopped ASAP for a split second longer I would have been sliding down the pavement at 45-50 mph, not good.  Amazes me how the momentum can pick up that easily a near 300lb. person like it was a baby.

It's really easy to twist the throttle, but not so easy to deal with the speed that everything that comes at you with at twice the posted limit (and when blinded by the sun!!!).  At least he's really good at cleaning his stuff.  And he needs to have someone show him how to bump over a curb, rather than use the "lay it down towards the other side of the curb, then drag it over the rest of the way" method.
