    Yeah, he's getting a lot of traction there! What would cause that? The suspension unloading too fast?

    Yes, this happens quite a lot at launch, if the wheelstand gets too high under power and the rider chops the throttle to unload the rear suspension. Most of the bikes that do this have very pricey rear suspension on them.

    Hmmm, it actually has NO rear suspension. Just struts in place of the stock shocks.

    Nice shots though. Bike drags are great.
