Not a bad race, but I think the course could have been better. I think all it would take is for the big eddies to be used. I heard that the course for the uni champs was good because they did this. You don't need to go too crazy to make a challenging course. Keep most of the breakouts simple, maybe 1 or 2 slightly different ones, and a couple of tight staggers. Poles heights can also make all the difference. You don't need to go mad with really high poles (gate 3 at the prem), but it is nice to have good pole heights, it makes it much more enjoyable.
ref to pole heights i agree but they were ok by the jury. Now over the years raceing i have seen the oppisite of high and low poles on different sites seems to be on certain moves, as to useing the big eddys i thought it was nice to have a change and to the last gate on Saturday was far to hard for div 1 but someone decided to move the last gate after the course had been approved how was this :O
lets get it on
