Some of you guys are trying to explain something you don't understand yourselves?
Do you point at airplanes and say "That's a car?"
those were corner exit slides initiated by throttle application.
Backing it in is not the same and is done for different reasons.
For those interested in trying, read this

The same principals apply to roadrace bikes, however, roadrace suspension carries and stores MUCH more energy because of the extra weight the bikes have.
When you put a bike sideways, the rear shock will compress, this stores energy in the spring, which is going to be released at some point.
A properly configured roadrace setup will normally have a relatively quick rebound circuit to keep the rear tire on the ground.
This quick release of the stored energy in the spring is what causes the corner entry highside when you back it in and don't get it right.
Rich, you get one on one instruction at our next trackday.
If you highside, I'll laugh and drive your wife home
when you go to the hospital
