The tranny takes some getting used to (with some of it being below 2 feet, literally). Some of the hips in the bowl aren't aligned perfectly, so it's hard to get speed from some areas. The street course has some hard to hit spots like the six stair/handrail due to lack of runway. In a nutshell, it just takes some getting used to. The park is put together in an odd but unique way.
