+1 for all the above.
Also, go at your own pace - don't succumb to that macho bollocks of "must catch that one in front". Watch the other riders for their cornering lines and braking points and use it to help you learn the track, start slowly and build to a level that you're comfortable with. You don't have to hang your arse over the side either just to look good, that'll come in time IF you're comfy with it.
Give it a while then do the same track again and hone what you learnt first time round. You'll either love or hate it but it's a must do at least once.
Above all, relax and enjoy.
Have fun fella :thumbup
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
