man and i thought that would never be possible on 2 wheels  that is some insane shit right there.
i have seen that track before in a vid, where is it? it's very nicely located, but maybe not so safe because of all the trees

Yep, quite possible on two wheels. 
That track is Pacific Raceways in Washington.

Yeah it's crazy and they are very good riders, BUT nothing out of the ordinary for track riders, trail breaking and getting on the throttle while still leaning is part of the game when riding liter bikes, or 750+ bikes. Watch some AMA and you'll see the tire streaks these guys leave...
