the gas pedal can be your worst enemy or your best friend...
...but it's about a 90/10 split. Novice wheelers should be especially careful with the throttle. Speed doesn't always work and you'll learn when just a little bit more will make the difference.
The key is momentum and not speed. If you've ever spotted someone up a rock ledge that had to back up for multiple attempts you likely noticed that the vast majority of wheelers tend to roll into the bump and then get on the gas cause a bounce and loss of traction. The best drivers learn how to get a slow steady pace going from the start and don't goose the skinny pedal when they hit the bump. Learn to drive smoothly and you'll go far!
