If your doing DH, I would do the beginners class for the 1st few races, and see how your time compares with the other classes, and move from there. Once you reach the qouta for wins, then move up. Or if your times are as good as top half of the sports class after the 1st three or so races, bump up. Don't jump the gun too fast though. Even though it's just for fun, coming in at the bottom of the heap, time and time again, is discouraging. Don't let your ego ruin what could be a fun season, hopefully on the podium.

This all awesome advice.

How does one ride the course? Flat out all the time in the straights, pace yourself? I'm assuming in the straights, you just pedal like crazy.

For technical sections, I assume smooth lines with avoidance of unnecessary braking. What about jumps, just roll 'em? Weight back?

Thoughts?
