Motorcycle roadracing term used to describe a crash in which the bike is leaned over while cornering and flips back up towards the outside (i.e. the high side). A high side usually occurs when rear wheel traction is suddenly lost and the rider's panic causes him to abruptyl close (chop) the throttle. As a result, the rear wheel suddenly and forcefully regains traction, violently flipping the bike away from the direction of lean and throwing the rider skyward. Most racing injuries occur as a result of a high side since the rider has much further to fall.
The flip side of this (no pun intended) is a low side crash. These crashes are usually minor since the rider falls off much closer to the ground.

That clueless squid lost the rear halfway through Turn 7, chopped the throttle and high sided his brand new, chromed out R1 into the hay bales.

Get the high flynn side mug.A school in Rockville Centre. Kids from RVC and South Hempstead attend(really stupid because RVC's taxes are triple the price). Most girls are bitches and guys are druggies. Every guy wears lacrosse shorts or khakis and packs dip in the gazebos. The girls are sluts/bitches who obsess over "Red and Blue" ( a war of girls that compete in different activities ). The trailers in the back where most art classes ect. are held are very ghetto. The girls soccer team is great. The school also has an excellent IB program which raises the taxes on the town.

Get the South Side High School mug.Don't be fooled by the ghetto sounding name, this Rockville Centre public high school is home to Long Island's richest bitches and dicks. Although some students who attend South Side come from South Hempstead, the majority of the school is made up of the rich, white Rockville Centre kids. The academics are some of the highest rated not just on Long Island, but in the state of New York. Far more like a private school than a public school.
You go to South Side High School? I figured as much once I saw the Vineyard Vines fleece and Ralph Lauren tee.
