What the pics don't show well is that the last couple of feet before the ditch is downhill. So lofting the front wheel is problematic on the 250s. Also you don't see the ditch until you are almost in it. Ray did a good job of not endoing over the bars at speed.Bummer.
Lucky no one got hurt.
Next time just ollie it - drop a gear and lift the front tire with a twist of the wrist and a little clutch!
Thx for all fo the suggestions on food in GJ!

Next season we will have the big bore kits installed and it will be easier to clear those kinds of obstacles at the last second.
And give the guy a break. It is his first dirt bike and his first season riding. I would say he is a solid "B" rider. Skills, I tell ya, skills.
And a good trainer.
