It is interesting how he completes the corner while standing up but then sits down for ~0.8 seconds in order to accelerate. Then he lets the bike kick him up to stand up again.

He wheelies through almost half of the straight! He pumps his legs while wheelying in order to maintain the wheelie, to keep the rear wheel on the ground, and to continue gaining speed. Then he lofts the front end higher, wheelies over one whoop in the middle, lets the front wheel drop into a trough between the whoops, and then stiffens his legs and doubles out.

We have a similar whooped-out sandy straight at our local track. I need to see if something like this is possible there.

If you are using YouTube on a computer, you can use the arrow keys to move by 5 seconds, or the comma and dot keys to move 1 frame at a time. The gear icon at the bottom lets you adjust the playback speed. Yesterday, I discovered that holding the left mouse key speeds up the video 2x times and lets you speed through the boring parts.
