acutally you're right...

just a bit of luck and a lot of skill...

basically, the only way to recover like he did was to gas it right as he was coming over the windshield... then he picked up too much speed, and got dragged over to the side... then the bike started leaning toooo much, and the ONLY way to drag it through the turn was to gass it again, and then re-mount just like you woudl if you were getting on a horse - bounce your feet on the ground - it tosses you up and back - he's lucky he could hang on tightly enough to not get pulled off teh bike when his feet hit the ground.
