That's not flying, that's falling with style!

To the chap who asked what was so impressive about bikes corning at speed, this video is certainly worth a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWTjNA7crDM

On corner entry, watch how he changes the position of his body, particularly the left arm, shoulder and leg. Watch for the apex clip and, after that, watch how the rear wheel is rotating faster than the front and realise the bike is actually 'drifting' through the corner. It's impressive to watch.
