That is a sick-ass save. I think it was dumb luck (and physics) more than skill though. His wheels were off the ground at exactly the right times where it prevented "knee jerk" control inputs from making the situation worse. Not to mention his foot was off the brake and his hand was off the front brake - mostly by chance. No chance of the rider making a dumb "reaction" grab on either brake which would've definitely lost it for him.

Still, very lucky and very good result for him.

I found the video hilarious simply because of the juxtaposition of British-accent Queen's English and southern drawl by the commentators. When else can you hear that?!?! The gratuitous sponsor hamming (Monster) at the end was a bit comical too. The way the promoter (I'm guessing that's who she is) jammed that "Monster" cap on his head not a half second after he had his helmet off and shoved a Monster drink into his hand was so blatant. Funny though.
