Message: [QUOTE="mox69, post: 1251526, member: 76391"] The two most important things to crossing logs are these: 1. Always hit the log at a 90 degree angle (perpendicular). If you are off, your front tire will wash out. 2. Always keep your momentum up. Ideally you should not have to gas the rear tire over the log, you should hit the gas just as the front tire hits. This pulls weight off the front tire. Then just let the back tire hit and roll over. Many times if you go too slow, your front tire makes it, but your back tire gets caught, because the log is slippery. Or even worse, the log is so big that your hung up on the bottom of your frame. At this point you are really screwed. The lighter the front is as it hits the log, the more forgiving the "90 degree rule is. This means if you have to cross a log at a crazy angle, you had better just about pop a wheelie over it. [/QUOTE]
