[QUOTE="mox69, post: 1202827, member: 76391"] I was practicing this the other day behind my cabin. It's not very hard at all on my 250. I don't really like pulling up if I don't have too, waste of energy. I could consistently get 6-12inches in a few feet, with a small clutch dump, no preloading, pulling, leaning back etc. I would attempt to move that 10-15 foot running start down to like 2-5 feet. Realistically logs pop out of no where and often times you won't have 15 feet to setup. I would also practice some 1 fingered clutch usage, it really helps with this maneuver. I normally use 2 fingers, but I switch to 1 when I cross logs. It's really very bike specific, if your low on power you will need to lean back and/or pull up. The key to this is figuring out how much to lean back and how much to pull up. You want your front wheel to hit the log while the momentum is still going up in the air. Don't pop way up and drop the front wheel down, that will cause you to go all squirly. I think most newer people overestimate the amount of "up" needed to cross a log. I used to think I had to pop my front wheel all the way over even the tiniest log (probably due to my old bicycling days). If the log is < 10in diameter I pretty much just lean back and give it a bit of gas to unload the front end a bit. [/QUOTE]
