Crossing the Umkomaas River, see if you can spot the culprit. Lucky no trains around at  the time!

Sorry no idea how to embed it.

Only the front rider could anticipate that center line.
To quick on the back rider to get his line right.

Very surprised you got back on so quick, you must of been participating in the Amageza in your mid :eek:

To be fair,I was warned about it.

I am sure you would not laugh.Filled tank ready for next ride.
 
I see now how  it happened - you were too close to see what was up ahead. Next time you will be wheelying over the obstacle. In hindsight it would also be ok to semi stop and get on the ramp slowly. Some more pics from the trip...

You know that very well known saying:

"Let's cross that bridge when we get there..."

Well, this is where it comes from. Well done mate, you crossed it rather well in my opinion. Ha ha!

Good recovery there didn't even hear any swear words?
 
This bridge must be at the epicenter of dirt bike riding around Boston. Every time I've been for a ride around this area this bridge comes up!

Now I've watched the video I see that we usually use the tread plate on the right hand side.
