On a race track the roads are perfectly paved and they train on the course for countless laps before the big show/challenge. I fell a lot safer in my car at high speeds then I do on my snowboard going balls to the wall/flat out down some hills. But then again that is part of the fun having the rush of just flying down the hill and the adrenaline pumping the whole way down!
