Jorge's impressive lean angle.
 
Too bad he is hanging off the wrong side of the bike

So what... 25 ... 30 feet until he hit the ground... damn... That was one of the most impressive highsides I've ever seen...

Damn.... Hope he's ok..

Just read he has a chipped bone in his ankle.

Quick somebody PS CEO in that shot.

If you watch the slow-mo replay, you can see he picked the front of the bike up on the exit of the previous corner and slammed it down on the brakes... basically he bounced the bike, which made the back end slide around on him.

Hopefully he gets to race this weekend, that'd suck to see him disappear from the championship because of that wreck.

That was some impressive hang time.

that clip is going to make alot of highlight reels.

pedrosa is in his trailer drumming his fingers together saying "eeeexcellent-"

Highside's fucking SUCK! I cracked two ribs in a highside.

I have only seen two that were worse, one was Shakey Byrne's rookie year at Brands Hatch (not the Suzuki Highside, he was on a honda) and I watched a privateer highside in the Int Horseshoe at Daytona that was wicked.

Brrrrr, highsiding sends shivers down my back.

That highside was fucking MASSIVE. Wow.


I'll stick to lowsiding please. Thank you.

and here we were talking about all the electronics have taken highsides out of the picture!

fuck that was insane! he went up and it was like fuck'n things just slowed... he just hung in the air forever!

Holy...fucking...shit! Impressive. Best highside I've ever seen.
