Getting front of bike off the ground -- tips?

[Irulan]

I am able to get up and over logs by unweighting my front instead of popping my front. I shift my weight back like I am going downhill, give a very slight pull onthe handlebars. Once the front tire is up on the log, power stroke and give a little umph with the body weight forward like a rocking horse.

great description of the technique.

If any of YOU are doing THAT, I want video! Not quite the technique we've been talking about, but he makes it look oh so easy...

Ryan Leech would've nailed it the first time.
