It seems to be working a lot better when I have more speed going into it. I still can't clear it, but I don't slow down so much on it.
i_r_beej, thanks for the detailed explanation!
Dr. Banzai, I'm using a freestyle bike, so I'm sure the gearing isn't ideal. I think it's 28x10, but I'd have to check to make sure (although that should be the same ratio as a 44x16, shouldn't it?). Crank length is 170, which is a little short and I think I'd be happier with 175's, but that's what the bike came with and I haven't bothered replacing it. If I need more speed, I'm sure it's much more technique than the bike.
