Hi Griff, your site is well done. I'm jealous.

I think you could see more progress if you apply your problem solving approach more rigorously. For question #1 you could get more specific... by what method would you like to get over trail obstacles? {pedaling, coasting, ratchet, bunny-hop, manual} What's the situation? {flat ground, grassy & slow, w/ a vertical bump assist, downhill, square edge, rounded approach edge, short or long length obstacle, etc.}. For #2 What is the nature of the "inability"? { strength, coordination, confidence, existing injury, existence of a safety net, understanding the method or differences between methods from #1}. #3 becomes easier because you can combine the variables and test each combination of interest e.g. 'coasting into manual, up 1ft square edge over long, downhill obstacle'.

I hope that helps. It sure is fun talking about this stuff.
