Highside
Highsiding is when the rider of a motorcycle is flipped over the bike. Often this occurs when the back brake locks up and the tail of the bike slides out of line with the direction of the motorcycle.  When the rider releases the brake, the tire locks up and the bike violently swings upright thereby throwing the rider in the air over the bike.
