You have to navigate a tight course of bends and slaloms on a skateboard. At speeds of up to 30 mph. While being towed behind a racehorse!

The wipe-outs are dramatic, but usually quite close to something relatively soft.

Excellent.

I understand a small operation is required, to remove any sense of fear but leave the sense of balance intact…
