The school I teach with (Pinnacle Advanced Driving Academy) will offer free instruction. Take advantage of us and have us ride along and give you pointers!
1. Show up as early as possible and walk the course as soon as its available to walk.
2. Bring plenty of water and stay hydrated. Your brain is mostly water and if it dries up, your skills go along with it!
3. Look ahead. Hard to figure this one out without having done it before but don't react to gates. PLAN for them.
4. Ride with as many people as possible. Even if they aren't good, I use other ride alongs to see if I can predict the next gate at speed. This reinforces the course layout in my head.
5. GET A TIMED RUN IN. People rush too hard right off the bat and go off course (DNF) and then can't figure out why. If you get a timed run in, it sets the course in your head and now you can build on it.
