My class had a chick that dropped her bike 3 times and would stall out every other time she started from a stop, and she still managed to pass (but barely). The figure 8 is tough to get the hang of, but you start out bigger and tighten it up as you practice. I was slower to learn the right side U-turns, so I would do one every time I got back to the end of a line until it was automatic.
Oh, and this class provides the bikes, right? Most do. They are little 125 or 250 cc bikes (not sure which) and are super easy to turn. No rush to get a bike before the class.
