Anyway, it's about weight shift amd pressure on the pedals, not pulling up with the arms. Guys always say, compress and pull up with the arms, but it's a compression with a weight shift of the hips back , the unweighting of the front, that creates the lift.
Well, I'm trying to pull up the front wheel only for now since I can only pull up my front wheel by 2mm. Once I get that correct, I want to be able to lift up the front wheel and then the back wheel to go over small logs.

As to lifting up the front wheel only, I did not know that I was supposed to compress down and then lift up. I'll give that a try next.
