    "How do you go from vertical to 65 degrees of lean angle in half a second, at 120mph when it shouldn’t be possible? "

    Shit that's nothing.
    I can go from vertical to 90 degrees in half a second.
    It's easy as falling off a log.

    To go from 70 degrees to 21 degrees is a little bit harder. Most people give up at about 60 degrees

    You see Chris, what Dana is doing here is reversing the use of the term "degrees".
    From the meaning of angle to the meaning of temperature.

    Just wanted to clarify that one for ya brother.
