That first section you show on the video, Sportsman Section 5 was nicely done despite the 1, as that is a pretty tough turn coming through that route. I kept going to the right of the tree and getting jammed up on the rocks, getting a 1 or 2 most times through as I put a foot down. I only tried your route on the last loop (and ended up with a 5 when I fell off the bike) at the recommendation of the checker.
Section 6, the next one, was a really hard section, do you agree? It was the hardest one on the loop, not really due to the two tight turns around the log but mostly because of the one backwards gate that was a very difficult 180+ degree turn. It was a situation where the best score in that section was a 1 for most riders - plant a right foot next to the little tree on the inside then pivot turn around the foot to just sneak the front tire in past the other side of the gate on the tree. I saw you ride just before me on one loop and you had a 3 going into that turn and then blew by the gate for a 5, the checkers were all disappointed!
(though Bronson the 7 year old on the Oset cleaned that section every time. He's got great skills and I'd say perhaps the benefit of small wheels and super short wheelbase. )
Despite my high scores and inability to clean a few Novice C sections in all 4 loops I had a real blast. It was great to see a lot of riders back out there.
