It's funny you say that about the lack of structure. That is actually how I learned a ton.
There were many times I had to push way beyond my comfort level to try to hang with some guys that would blow by me. Every once in awhile I would go down as a result of that. But it also helped teach me how fast I could go, and it helped me to understand how fast I needed to go for certain jumps. I remember one time I was behind a pair of guys that were far faster than me. After they would drop me I would actually cut the course and come back in behind them for the straightaway, into a left hand sweeper to an 80 ft double. Jumped that double four or five times until I just slightly messed up and cased it. Two black eyes, but I learned a ton, and after that I was able to jump a lot more. That then got my overall track speed up, which then necessitated me being faster through corners. Eventually to where I was an expert class. Lots of hospital visits in between though!!!
