my first time "catching" a lowside
i was making a really slow lefty in front of eternalnewb and noticed a bunch of sand in the road so without thinking my left leg came out... right then i heard the engine rev up real high and the bike shot to the side, handlebars went hard left. well my leg was already there so i just gave it a little push on the ground and a little pull up on the bars (it was falling over from sliding or something) and just a short bit later it caught and bucked me back up a little bit... whew!

Was this on our ride Saturday when I was bringing up the tail? I thought I heard you two mention something about it but I was too far behind to notice.

I thought you may have seen it. Wasn't this at one of the traffic lights?

Nice work! I'm starting to get more comfortable with that on the dirt. I think I'd be comfortable reaching my leg out on the 300; not sure I'd even attempt it on a heavier machine.

Nicely done! This is one reason why my bike is still in the garage. I hate sand.
That, plus the fact that IT EFFIN' SNOWED AGAIN THIS MORNING. $#*(@)@! But tomorrow is another day...gonna be nice. At this time of year I find myself automatically scouting for sand patches along my commute route so I don't get caught out.

I think your foot kick made it look less then that you felt. Needed slow motion to see the kick.

Goes to show how fast things can happen and be over. Just like that... you blink and you miss it.

I dunno, as startling as it was, be glad your focus was going forward. @EternalNewb and @Yakaru had to react to a giant yellow arrow that almost skewered you from behind!
Man, I knew roads were dangerous but random death arrows is a new one.

Nice save. I think when we go through things like that, it seems more prolonged than it actually is as it triggers "panic/adrenaline mode." When or if you actually get a chance to review it, then it's like, "Oh, that was it?"

I was riding right behind @alex.s, and it looked a lot worse from where I was. There was a minislide, then some back and forth bucking before he leveled it out.
