Motorists are often warned not to cross roads that are washed out as a result of a flash flood. One rider attempted to cross just such an area while filming the ride.
In September of last year, heavy rains washed over Colorado. Many roads were considered unsafe to travel on due to the flash floods that resulted, including the one near Boulder where the video was shot.
A rider on a dual sport motorcycle tried to cross a particularly bad area, while filming it with his GoPro camera. While the beginning of the attempt looked rough, the deepening water and washed out road proved to be more than the motorcycle or rider could handle.
Swift currents soon made the rider lose all control of the motorcycle. The rider and motorcycle were quickly washed away.
Luckily, the rider was uninjured and was able to make his way to safety. The motorcycle was lost in the flood. Two weeks later, the motorcycle was recovered and reportedly the rebuilding process was begun.
GoPro has acquired the video, added music, and turned it into an ad for the GoPro Hero 3.
