I finally downloaded this video and watched it frame by frame. That made it easy to see how I screwed up. My front wheel never touched the log so the bike's first contact was the bottom of the bike/back tire which caused the front wheel to immediately come down. That may have been obvious to others but I couldn't see it without stepping through the video... Yeah, I'm kind of slow on the uptake.

Too much wheelie and you were leaning back a little? Maybe going uphill was a factor.
I'd hate too see video of myself.

Right, the intent was to jam my front wheel into the log compressing the suspension and then getting some bounce back to get over smoothly. That's what I did from the other side. I just screwed it up when going uphill. I was nervous as it looks worse from that direction.

I have some knobbies on the 990 now. I'm curious how it'll do over this thing.

Sounds like a good idea to me. What does the 990 weigh?
