yeah i've had that issue a lot going through chicanes. like at chuckwalla there are little chicanes before and after the front straight. i'm always hitting that inside curb. you have to drop your body down quick by pushing the bike up when this happens (not using the steering), like a real sudden hook turn almost. it buys you about 10 feet which by then you're past the gator teeth hopefully (if you hit them at apex) and you can catch traction again then slowly bring your body up to a reasonable position. one time i almost fell off the bike doing that. if you watch todd grice, he does this with a lot of weight put on his dragging leg... you can watch him lowside and prop the bike up with his leg multiple times a lap. you see his leg after he gets off and not only are his knee pucks scraped up, so's his shins, and boots, and toes. pretty gnarl
