When I said weight the fork, I meant – don’t lean away from the hazard and lean back so your front wheel skitters!
“Bit of weight on the fork” Jesus, anyone riding with their hands on the bars will have a bit weight on the fork! If you have a stigma to an obstacle your body language will put your balance and bike off. A more committed stance will see you through. Hence me also describing the unweighting of the bike. It’s contradictory when taken literally, as it has been. Hit the thing with conviction and you’ll probably make it, a rearward hesitant stance will reduce the tyre’s ability to track. Maybe it’s because where I ride it’s more of a drdrdrdrdr sequence of roots than a donk…donk…donk so the lifty method doesn’t work. Hence the agreed with; unweight balanced approach.
I should have just said MTFU 😈
