A big rockover seems easier with The Watchman

I've ridden up this rock at Lebanon Hills Mountain Bike Trail many times in the past couple of years, but this attempt a month ago was my first on my @advocatecycles Watchman fat bike. I'm not sure why but The Watchman seems easier to manual than my hardtail 29'er. And for this rock, that in turn seemed to make it easier to launch into the unweighting manuever early enough so that the rear wheel would get airborne before it impacted the face of the rock. It felt amazingly smooth. And it makes me confident that someday soon, I'll be able to do an full blown bunnyhop up and over this rock. #MORCpics #MORCmtb
