huge +1.

and getting over the logs is all about having the pedals set and being able to lift your rear wheel. if i can get my front wheel on top of it i am 95% guaranteed to get over it. factor in the rotating cranks (i usu hit logs with a quick half-pedal to give me enough speed to put the front wheel on top and hop to the other side landing the front wheel on the ground and the rear wheel on top, all while the cranks remain relatively level) and it becomes more difficult, but not impossible.

flow. it's all about flow.

i really hope to try this soon...
