That might be right for twinshocks, now days it's throttle and clutch, you can do anything if you can control the clutch accurately. Watch videos, bunches on youtube as well.

You dont even need the engine... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0Ek3...863C10&index=9

You learn something new every day..........modern bikes must be awfully easy to ride, if you dont need to worry about proper throttle control!....................lol

I tried it this morning and it worked! I'm not saying I bunny hop like the video motojunky posted, but I am hopping over the log and unloading the rear as best I can…and the rear is not sliding across the log. Thank you!

The effort to unload goes a long way, log, rock or wet root. Rider input is what trials is all about!
