dude i didnt die. god it was so much fun and muddy. my only problems were the "woop-dee-doos". besides that i didnt do too bad. my problem was that i wouldnt have enough speed to get back out of the things or i would get to the top and i would crap out at the top and fall over backwards, but it was definitely worth the $45 for 2 days worth.

BTW any tips for better taking the "woop-de-doos"?
 
Was the race at camp Hilbert? The whoop-de-doos there are pretty big. The secret is to not brake on the way down, and to be in a low gear. On your way up, keep your weight as low as possible, and keep peddling on the way up.

Also, a great place to practice these is the advanced trail at Pocohantas state park.
