THE LOG HOP
Ride towards the log at a good confident pace that will give you enough momentum to clear it once you are on top of it. About 5 feet from the log, pull up the front and concentrate on the top of the log. You want to place the front tire exactly on the top of the log. (Look and it will go) As soon as you slap your front tire onto the log, push forward on the handle bars, and slightly unweight the pedals. This will lift the rear of the bike onto the log. As soon as the rear of the bike comes up onto the log, shift your weight back and prepare to roll off the far side of the log. If all goes well, you will clear the log without touching your bashguard.
