You are right; there is nothing easy about the waterfall section. I practiced it (a little) but decided to not race it. More Pro's than I thought did the same thing. My friggin' problem is that I'm a mental case and wrecked on the "easy" go-around! (I was counting in my head and I think I lost 15-20 seconds; I couldn't get my bike back up on course, hyperventilating, various silliness that kept me from getting going; 15 seconds takes forever when you are trying to go fast). I had my best run of the weekend after the wreck but still dropped me to 15th. You would be surprised how mental this game is.Quote:
