This is worth a mental note. I'd love to. I won't, however, be using my own bike. I have no experience of this type of riding so I would want to eliminate the fear of dropping it. After a few laps (or more likely visits) I'm sure I would though. Once I'd gained a bit of confidence.
I have the same problem with gravel. I have an irrational fear of dropping the bike so I don't do a lot of it (I don't shy away if it presents itself though and do sometimes go looking for it).

Cheating if that's all I did, yes. However, that is definitely the place to start.
