He used some pretty heavy throttle while at some pretty serious lean angles without a single spin.

Clutch control. Watch the left hand. I'm always amazed at how far a bike can lean over at slow speeds with the engine running at higher RPM.

This. I saw a guy at BattleTrax pull lean angles like that on a little 80's Honda he picked up for like $200 just for that purpose.. no special rubber or anything. Dude certainly had the fastest lap times. And he did wipe out a couple times, and it usually just would sneak up on him. I wish I still had pictures of that stuff.

I understand that but I'm talking about when he is accelerating out of the turns. Even if he never used his right hand, there are times when the clutch is being pretty rapidly disengaged.

Couple of items I noticed:
No clip-ons, handlebar riser.....bet that made a huge difference in balance. Saw some serious tire flex too. Maybe running 20psi? Killer skills though!

I think I want to buy a cheap shitty bike and start doing this... looks like retarded fun and you don't need anything for room... plus if you eat shit, it's all slow... great fun.

You can hurt yourself just falling off a parked motorcycle - I'd probably do that
