Definitely one of the better riders I've seen. I give those guys mad props, they have skills and brass balls.

Kind of reminds me of the sort of stuff you used to see guys doing on BMX bikes....maybe they grew up and got some power.Almost like they are dancing with the bike.

Lots of talent for sure,but when I read the title I though we were going to see a Moto GP rider "powersliding" When I think powersliding a motorcycle I think of seeing a motorcycle leaned over at high speed with BOTH wheels sliding as the rider slides sideways slightly when in a corner. It (sliding a motorcycle sideways with both wheels drifting at speed leaned right over ...without losing it) is something only a select few of the elite riders can do.:burnout:

I think when you have both wheels loosing traction leaned over at speed, that ends up being a lowside.... Here's some clips of a MotoGP rider for you, Valentino Rossi:
