[QUOTE="Keltracer, post: 34415, member: 19636"] A highside is when you crash and go over the bike. You are flying over the "highside," putting you ahead of the bike. The bike is behind and following you. A lowside is when you crash and hit the ground before the bike, thus you are trailing the bike's path. Highsides are more dangerous, because they tend to throw the rider more violently through the air, and the rider has to worry about the massive machine that is following. A tank slapper is when the bike goes into a bad headshake, where the bars are shaking violently to both extremes, "slapping" the tank. Keeping your arms loose and gassing it will get you out of the headshake. P.S.:Sorry for the horrible descriptions, I have a bad headache. ------------------ [i][b]You get the best thrills on two wheels![/b][/i] [/QUOTE]
