High Siding

Well the back end sliding out is not the only way for you to high side, another VERY common way for it to happen in motorcycle racing is when the rider “tucks” the front wheel going into a turn.

A lot of pro riders will slightly counter steer the front wheel which makes it easier for the bike to lean over in a turn but takes a lot of practice to get it down.

Result of counter steering however would be low siding b/c you would push the wheel out, and tucking the wheel is the exact opposite and it generally happens when the rider is getting ready to apex the turn and get back on the throttle hard and will come out of the counter steer a bit to quickly causing the bike to buck like your on a bull and at the point you pretty much hang on for the ride and pray you don’t break anything.

Counter steering is money. I remember when i first started to use it, it was such a sketchy feeling. But let me tell you the bike lays right over.
