Which way do you fall?
After low-siding about three weeks ago, I am starting to think about the crash, well maybe the physics . Anyway, when I low-sided at the track, I remember going down towards my right, however, I wondered if our southern hemisphere buddies go down on the left side?

I'm better at going left than right, I figured it had something to do with being right handed but maybe its because when we (downunder) go left its the sharper turn and less cars to worry about?...

I prefer a middle of the road approach to get offs, my last one (a biggie) was straight over the front, too much front brake for tooooooo long  . Sure seems like a lot of guys low side the Hyper based on the number of WTB exhaust pipes, hand guards etc. Prolly a good thing, I'd choose a low side over a high side any day

Yes, you'll notice that whenever someone crashes in the Southern Hemisphere, the bike always spins counter-clockwise as it slides down the track. In the Northern Hemisphere, they always spin clockwise. Try it and you'll see!
