I've crashed on that bridge. It was wet, I hit it fast and lost the front. Slid across it and into the embankment on the other side then kept sliding back down the embankment into the creek! The bloke I was riding with thought I was dead. After a bit of a sit down and a sore ankle we finished the ride.
When we were there a couple of weekends ago, we walked it.
Entry and exit lines were super greasy from the previous night's rain and where you see those sticks on the bridge in the photo, there was a gap from the missing crossmembers.
I suppose we could have hopped the gap, but with the speed required to get up the other side and the greasy entry line, it was too easy to get it horribly wrong and no way to bail. Even staying upright while walking the embankments wasn't that easy!
Can you see it coming
can you see it coming if you are riding there the first time ? You really need too keep speed then .
No you can't see it coming
No you can't see it coming and a bit of momentum is needed to get up the other side!
