Yeah basically. I only had one girl in my class that didnt pass and thats cuz she didnt show up after the first day of riding when she crashed. I was worried about passing because I wasnt very smooth with the damn figure 8s but I made it through the class.

I shifted the loaner bike into second to make the figure 8, little did I know that the damn thing didn't like to shift into second. Ran out of speed in neutral while trying to flip it from left to right and had to put a foot down. Only mark down I had, but it still should not have happened.

The easiest way to perform all the slow speed manuevers is hold the throttle at a certain point and control the speed of the bike with the clutch. They call it the friction zone. Makes it alot easier.

I did everything right except braking...I braked late and got marked off otherwise i was perfecy...But those figure 8's were definatly a bitch.
As stated, Practice is the best thing to do.
