So it's actually simpler than he describes because his momentum is basically forward. Which brings up the dilemma: If you don't have lateral room to steer toward the object because it's right next to your tire, whadda'ya do? Maybe just hop up as hard as possible anyway... at that point, what do you have to loose? In slomo you can see he’s actually steering toward the object– and would hit it– but hops to avoid it.
