you can usually walk the course first as long as you're there early enough

at the driver's education days you do a parade lap to get to know the course.

What he said.

You can always walk the course first and the clubs around here are VERY Novice friendly. There's always one or two people assigned to do nothing but ride with novices and help them out.

Also, the camera is fisheye which definitely makes it harder to see the cones far ahead. That said, it definitely takes practice to learn how to look at the right cones. You usually want to be looking a few elements ahead which is just plain impossible from the fisheye videos.

Oh, and almost everyone is willing to give rides! Seriously, get as many rides as you can, it's a ton of fun If you're ever at an event I'm at, I'll give rides too
