i agree with above, your leaning the wrong way, which makes you have to lean the bike the opposite way even more leaned over and increases the chances of you washing out

Actually I know what he's doing, and why.
The side knobs on some tyres can produce excellent cornering traction, BUT, in order to use them, the bike has to be cranked over quite far into the lean.
If you're not at a high speed, then you can't lean that far, so the solution is to lean your bike underneath you.

I don't think you should be leaning so far in the opposite direction though

LOl its a good theory and makes sense but im quite sure thats not why he is doing that

maxxis tyres are like that, they suddenly catch you when you lean over and start to wash out
