Yeah, the thing I found interesting was not what causes the loss of traction in the first place. That much is obvious, as is the concept of suddenly regaining traction.

What I found intriguing is the thought that the two things are the same, but with one added factor in the case of the highside. Not intrinsically different from one another. Keep the tire spinning and it becomes a simple lowside rather than an attempt to channel your inner Superman. Or, ideally, ride it out and recover.
