Can you imagine how much fun that RR crossing would be while wet and muddied up with rider's tires. A guy could just sit there all day with a video camera and make a full length movie. Looks like most riders had a hard enough time with it anyway. Wheelbase dynamics and the gap distance between the rails made that kind of unique there. That looks like a wheelie method obstacle, but you can see that if things went wrong, lot's of fun would follow.

 

yea, things went wrong for me... but didnt end too bad. The rails are at the wrong distance apart. when your front tire hits the second rail your back tire hits the other rail... rough. The trick is to go at an angle.... or just really fast... i tried the fast method.

 

I could ride a wheelie across both rails.....for real, I do it all the time in my driveway across the curb. LOL

 

Tracks are a pain! Just as TNC said, that spacing is the killer. First rail is easy, second hit on both wheels at the same time is tougher. Hit it too hard and you get a pinch flat or even a bent rim. I have a small spot on my front rim that I'm pretty sure came from a rail crossing.
Perfect Benny Hill music in that vid
