Jumping Roadkill
OK I've got a good handle on getting over snakes and rabbits. Even did my first Armadillo the other day. Any hints on the bigger stuff?
Thanks for your help.

Use your ankles to bunnyhop higher. You'll be able to get over dead deer and all soon.

I never see roadkill on any of the trails I ride.
I can offer you some hints for navigating live animals however:
1) Keep your front end up. If you do hit the critter, at least you won't crash (unless it's a bear or deer or something).
2) Speed is your friend. If you do end up hitting it, you might as well kill it.
3) Hop higher than you think you need to. Snakes in particular have a tendency to rare up and snap at your pedals.

After you hit it, turn around and strap it to your backpack.
When you get back to your car, follow the steps in this book:

lift the front wheel first and have the rear follow this also helps in a crit with the 4's
