Looks like if we could have seen the shot just before this he probably had a wobble going or a high side spyrogyrogliphic ( yea I just made that word up) But seriously I hope he was ok.

hahaha, bet it slowed really nice and when it tipped it hit one of those rebound squares and went up onto it, landing perfectly on the frame, never tipping more than a few degrees

That's actually not that uncommon if the bike pitches a rider at speed. In fact... next time you are riding - let go of the bars... it won't fall over. Gyroscopes are self-balancing when they are at speed. When you were a kid, you ever pedal your bmx bike real fast, then bail... and the bike keeps going? Same thing.

Stick figure pr0n - that's just the A-Style logo. A point of controversy for years.
