Jesus, that's superhuman. If I ever ride a track again, I want a set of the tires he was running!
Yes. Ass end up braking hard then steering his bike into the corner. Not sure how big of a lean he had as he didn't say. Normally, I would cry BS. But I've seen this guy ride over the years with us. The corner workers as part of the perk of helping the school get free track time. Some times they're running with us students in rotation or they get a full session on the track by themselves when we're down for lunch or for refueling. He's blown by me a few times and I'm at awe with what he can do on the track. It also helps the guy is a retired Marine so he has that I don't give a crap about self preservation thing going.
