Other than hand-over-hand in the turn, there was no other criticism of his technique, imo. He used both hands, didn't let go of the wheel in the turnaround & actually fed the wheel back straight (a LOT of people let the wheel go), etc. Granted, he could he reacted quicker, but wheel technique had nothing to do with that.


OP. as stated, glad you're okay & I'm really sorry what should have been a routine spin is dodgy conditions, ended up very badly for you. And as Dave mentioned, that venue was no place to hold an AutoX, with the cones so close to embankments. I'm sure they'll rethink the decision to slalom so closely to that big berm...
