People who started riding dirt bikes at a early age usually turn out to be very talented street riders.
When I hear someone say "had to lay it down" I cringe and sometimes I try to explain they have a better chance of stopping if they stay upright on on the brakes.
A few times I've seen in a news paper article where the reporter will state the rider laid his bike down to avoid the collision with a car.
