Gravity racing:
Back when the Chimney Rock Hill Climb was still an event her in the mountains of North Carolina, one of the highlights was the Chimney Rock Hill Fall. There were two classes; show and go. Lots of the same racers who powered up the mountain would also race in the gravity event. The great lesson of the race was the same one Keith was speaking of, conservation of energy (speed). With no engine, any un-called for touch of the brakes or carving a sloppy line would cost you a moment you could not get back.
Have you guys considered putting your students on 50cc or 125cc bikes? The rider that has learned your lesson will have a huge advantage here.
Thanks for the great article Keith.
