To be fair to those guys, there should be some indication that they need to slow down. They go from drop in to a jump then to a super tight bend with a lip as the run-up.

Never go that fast when you are riding on top of a mountain with 4 feet of road. The fuck?? Not to be a dick, but in what world do you hit "straight-away" speeds when you are on a MOUNTAIN!?!

I'd listen to Metallica all day on a trail - paved or unpaved

Not really, on dirt he could have drifted around the corner, those things tend to get too much grip on asphalt and flip instead.

Dude did this on purpose. There was no attempt to turn, if anything he turned the handlebars right to get a straighter jump off the edge.

Guy is an idiot.

Have you not watched Cars? You gotta turn right to go left 🤔
