I will have to play it when I get home.  But I do know that if you never spin out, you are not pushing hard enought

I was carrying too much speed for the last two cones of a four cone slalom that immediately turned ~30 degrees to the right through the timing gate. I made it through the timing gate. I just wiped out a bunch of the exit cones. I was pleased with the run, just not the finish!
