i found that getting stonewall going around barrels really helped with going around trees, and ironically, weirdly, you steer him INTO the tree in order to miss it. because if i steer him AWAY from the tree, his hip goes closer, and I get whacked. If I steer him INTO the tree, his hind endgoes the other way and i dont get whacked. Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
