That method may not be that useful for off road riding as you are usually wanting to lift the front at a specific place on the trail rather than at a particular speed, the method I was taught is based on trials riding / slow speed getting over large, lumpy things.
This works from idle up, just watch out for power bands.

Clutch in, push hard down on the front suspension then pull back , move your weight back and release the clutch at the point of pulling back, throttle is rolled on slightly as the clutch is released.
This will lift the front as high as you want and you can choose where you get the lift, ie: in front of a log / hole at a controllable speed.

Probably not much use for stand ups through traffic tho, so ignore it if I missed the point entirely!

Thanks mate, that's useful for what I want also to avoid nosediving into ditches etc. cheers

There's no guaranteeing that won't happen.....

I was at the Sandpit on sunday practicing log jumping and successfully hoisted the front over to drop it square on to a tree stump, the front stopped, me and the rear of the bike kept going.

Lol. I'd put that up there with your front wheel falling off while doing a wheelie(edit: havent had the front wheel come off but would be that same helpless feeling :/ )
