I tried to break this down as simply as possible for you guys! The hardest part about getting over large obstacles when you're new to it is the mental aspect.

The trick is to break it down into two simple steps.
Number 1:
Do a small wheelie and punch the log at the 2/3 mark.
Number 2:
Stay smooth and consistent on the throttle to drive yourself all the way over.

You need to be in your standing up body position! You'll be tempted to sit down but as soon as you sit down you have way less control. Be confident and remain in a standing body position.

You don't want to give it too much throttle when that rear wheel is on the log because this could cause you to spin and slide out. Stay consistent and smooth on the throttle.

Great video! I am calling all of your tutorials "The Book of Braap"

I just got into the sport and so far these vids have been ultra helpful. Probably, the very best information for newbees like me.

After watching many videos on this subject . This video is by far the most detailed and easiest to understand while addressing some very key points ( Often missed by other "expert" videos ) Well done Megs you have done a brilliant job on this one ! Cheers from Australia

Like so many things, it’s all mental. The log is never as big as it is in your head. Great tips 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I subscribe to your channel for my wife. You are the first person on a dirtbike video that I have seen to talk a bout confidence. It is one of the most important things that most people overlook. Pushing someone to do something is OK, but you have to give them the confidence in themselves to do something. Thank you. I am a fan.

Watching this bc I absolutely bit it trying to go over a log. Way too fast, my handlebars caught a branch hanging off the log causing them to jerk and threw me into the ground. Never fell that hard in my life! I thought broke my ribs!
