Sometimes a motorcycle can act like a bucking bronco. You're cruising around a corner and all of a sudden the bike starts to drift out of line. Next thing you know the bike launches you in the air and there is nothing you can do about it. Unless you're a professional racer like Gino Rea.
During the World Supersport race in Portugal last week, Gino Rea almost had a huge high side crash. But somehow, the Honda rider was able to keep his bike on two wheels.
Here's the video of Gino Rea's save. (You can see some photos of Rea's save at Bike Sport News.)
Rea was able to get his bike back on track to finish 14th during the race.
Here are a couple more great motorcycle crash saves.
