While this looks great, if you examine the track you can see the infield shoulder is raised and banked and the track is also banked. If you took away these angles his elbow would be a long way from touching the ground. Never the less, it's still impressive.
They have tires specially shaped to do that

Those tires aren't even close to the tires they run in MotoGP. They have sidewall contact patches that are almost completely vertical when the bike is upright.

One word - Supermoto!
