I went biking yesterday with a friend who is a veteran mountain biker/bike racer. In other words 13 years of mountain biking experience to my barely one.

He made jumping logs look so easy, I figured I'd give it a shot.. First tiny log, no problem.. second log.. well.. a problem.

I was going too fast and didn't pick the front wheel up quickly enough.. The result was expectable. Imagine me flying onto the ground (and my bike). I wish I had a picture of it, it had to look really funny. Instead of a picture, I just have loads of bruises, skinned knee, skinned hand and a hurty elbow. Ouch.

I've concluded I'm not quite ready for log jumping just yet.. I'll just stick to the trails for now and leave the extreme stuff to the experienced.
