If you really want to learn to MTB and bunnyhop and take logs, try riding with a 12 year old boy.

My son rides a MTB and skateboards and rides his BMX bike at the skatepark. Does wheelies and jumps and all kinds of things. Never falls. So I just watch what he does and decide if I can modify it to my ability. But I can't do a wheelie. Can barely get my front wheel off the ground. I keep being afraid I'll hurt my bike, and I do love my bike. But just having his example around helps me a lot.

Conversely, he's learning how to ride safely in traffic from me, learning things he would never think to do, because he doesn't drive.

:::sigh::: I just love having him around.
