I would say that one was about 16 inches high.

I can now pretty easily do this without hitting anything simple put you can bunny hop pretty high even at low speeds. My favorite way of crossing logs is to manual into them and once my front wheel is touching the top of the log, I burst from the rear wheel and everything clears fine. In the dry I would normally cross this log with enough speed that I would not even hit it.

With that said while learning and to this day I learned that big rings are useless for trailriding. In fact on a 29er I am hard pressed to be spun out in 32x11. I do not have a big ring on my bike, I run a 2 rings in the front or one ring with a bash depending on the day and my mood.

The bash make it so you will never get stuck on anything, increase clearance and makes it alot harder to actually break something. I have seen rides ruined by big ring mishaps involving logs.

so basically like all thing with me I look for the easiest way to make the equipment do something for me, before I better myself. I also do feel big rings are useless for anyone riding a mtb on mtb trails.
