Combining track stands with other technical maneuvers = loads of fun

I've been wanting to try this tricky logover drop combo for over a year but knew I didn't have the skills. Now I do. My first attempt yesterday did not go well. Good thing it's a soft landing. After a few tries, I figured out that it needed a track stand, some ratcheting, two front wheel side-hops, and some unweighting of the rear wheel. Thx to @trebelhornc for the video.

My @AdvocateCycles Watchman fat bike suprises me at how nimble it is on technical stuff. I used a series of track stands, front wheel lifts to the side, and one rear wheel lift to the side to negotiate a turn on this boardwalk on Saturday at @morcpics @lebanonhills. I thnk it was meant to be ridden the other direction 😉 #MORCpics #MORCmtb
