I was seated in the saddle on that animated gif. It's not from standing up as i've been on steeper tracks without issue; rather it's exactly what Brian is describing in post 5.

I didn't have the time to properly get that line down, but it's the first track where there are two completely different lines people regularly take for a flying 200. I found that really interesting.

I'm not sure what I should do the next time I go to Alpenrose: try the same line again and try to fix the hop or go the "local" route which I think avoids it all together.
