I was only planning to go as far as my momentum would take me, dismount and push the bike up. I wasn't expecting the front wheel to come off the ground as I stopped.

Tombay? Maybe. Not a typical one. I was still clipped in as I flipped, but I'm not sure that was a big factor in what happened.

Here is a better representation of the fun part of riding the trail:

That's a really nice flowy trail. Looks like fun.
