fmc351 its a race bike, the brakes are RACE brakes....
if your fast enough and have a strong foot, you could do it on a street bike. balancing the bike is the main problem.

Dude, no need to break out the logic, Im well aware of what it is, and how he achieved it. The speed he is going at helps too. The brakes will only bring you forward so far in relation to speed, the brake having the effect of utilising the bikes momentum to bring it forward. Look at it closely, he is past vertical, well and truly.

Its my way of expressing awe at the feat.

lifting the front wheel doesnt mean vertical, you'd either have to be FIN good at riding to do that, or totaly insane!
