The one just below where he rides over the arched bridge thing reminds me of an 'attempt' at a similar bridge near Whitby (Ruswarp).
The lad had been in the Bridge Inn all evening then thought he would try it - on a 125 road bike.
It got to about our head height then the back wheel started to spin on wet metal, about six of us were watching and somehow managed to catch bike and rider as they toppled over.
If he had got to the top it's a good 25 feet above the road and 50 above the river.

Memories of old step throughs and colliery spoil heaps. Our bikes took us everywhere back then.
Sure a KTM or other decent trail bikes can perform very well on rough ground but sometimes less power, less weight and some actual riding skills will see a bike doing very well indeed! I actually thought the second rider was off there. I expect the scooter pulled them from the stream..

The arched bridge - I'd seen it a few weeks ago and yes I agree - one slip and that's quite a height to drop from. Bigger balls than myself or probably less sense.
