Maybe TWO death wishes.... I ~assume~ that there was a rider behind making the video... right?
Note: If you look very closely at the bottom of the ravine you will see the remnants of those who tried and failed to make this video

I rather think the camera was mounted on a rig similar to a "Selfie Stick" attached to the bike. Movement is too consistent to be from a second bike.

Have a look at the video... the camera appears a distance from the back of the bike. There’s no visible device attached to the back. Drone?

Could be a kite. Must be on a short tether to make it through the tunnel.

It is a stick or rod, probably attached to his helmet. The stick is removed from the video either in real time or in post. This video shows a halo in the sky where it is removed visually. At about 1:5 you can see the stick from a drone shot.

Lesson #1 of Mountain Biking -- Look where you want to go and not where you don't want to go.
That being said, my rule #2 is "Discretion is the better part of valor" -- If you don't think you can clear a section of trail or a trail obstacle, dismount and walk it. Indecision can be your worst enemy on the trail. The trail isn't going anywhere. Come back and try it another day when you have the confidence to do it. And, walking it sometimes gives you insight into a working line that you didn't see while you were in the saddle.
Yeah, I'd be walking this one.

You mean you're not going to do one of those 80 degree down sloping rock trails, with a camera tied to your butt?? Geez I'm disappointed...
