Now why?????
Lowside.. Basiclly this guy just lost traction.. He in effect "fell over" Highside: This guy lost, then regained traction.. In effect his bike "stood up fast" |

Good answers to both questions. From experience Highsides hurt like He$$. Been there done that got the broken left wrist to prove it. Visual explantions are always better I think.

A lowside is just kinda tipping over on the side of the bike that's on the inside of the turn.
A highside is when your bike loses traction then regains it and you're thrown from the bike. An example would be in a skid. Your rear end could swing around next to you when you lock the rear brake. If you let go of the brake, you're going to high side. So my advice is to stay on the brake and slide 50 feet into a guard rail and do a front side (like I did!). Fine print: Actual results may vary. Don't slide into guard rails. |

If you love your bike , set it free . If it comes back to you , you just highsided .
And that is probably the biggest danger of the highside .... your bike coming back to you . At least in a lowside you'll most likely be BEHIND the bike while sliding .
