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.
