Maybe he had an uh-oh moment after his front end went over the bump, reflexively grabbing the front brakes, which magnified the end-over from the now-locked front?

Yeah, like: "Uh-oh, I better slow down quick before the rear wheel hits that bump" Followed shortly after by: "oh shiiiiiiiiiit"!

Great clip, he found out the hard way he didn't have enough suspension travel to go off a bump that large at that speed. Cheers--BB

Go too fast and die. A great concept.

Thanks for posting that video CFZ!
The official fascist response to a line like that is, "well, they shouldn't be breaking the speed limit."

There's a big bump in a well-traveled road close to my home. I get a sick enjoyment out of hitting it at speed up on the pegs then watching cars behind me bottom out on it in my mirrors.
