Here's A Slow-Mo Of A Superbike Racer Going Sideways At 135mph
Going sideways at 135mph in a car would be impressive, but to do it on a bike takes the concept of powersliding to a whole new level!
Silverstone is known for being a fast circuit, whatever the category of racing. In a car, the Woodcote corner is little more than a curved acceleration zone. On a superbike, things can be a touch hairier.
This slow-motion footage of British Superbike Rider Jason O’Halloran gets more ridiculous the more times you watch it. There are so many contrasting angles going on at once: the lean angle, the slide angle, the steering angle. Opposite lock on a bike is par for the course in Speedway and Motocross but on asphalt, at 135mph hitting the limiter in fifth gear? Unreal.
Now, excuse us while we watch it a few more times.

NANI??
Motobikeo driftio?
How do I watch this without having a twitter account? 😠
His tyres lost traction at that speed because of the overwhelming inertia caused by the sheer mass of the rider’s balls!
That’s 200+BHP and 165kg gets you! Oh and that sweet countersteering. You turn the bike with the rear wheel in most cases. SWEEETTTT
“What do you mean drift?”
how come the rear is goin faster than the front?
