Here you go, every test but test 3 on day 1, I dont know what happened but I think I turned my GoPro off when I thought I was turning it on so I didnt get it.

Test 1, I get lost and lose 41 seconds in the first 100 yards of the weekend.

Test 4, again, a pretty clean test, just some minor mistakes.

Over-all'd Day 2 on a vintage bike - good showing there Brian.

Thanks Derek, I probably should have overalled day 1 also, I dropped over 4 minutes over the day from getting lost, 3+ minutes in test 3 alone. Thats all part of the deal though.

Brian:
Arrows on both sides of trail,  arrows pointing 90 degrees where the trail only just slightly angled. no arrows etc...   I have laid out a LOT of enduros and always explained to guys helping that no one should EVER have to look for arrows,  or guess where they are pointing too, and all arrows should be placed on the right side when possible.  This avoids confusion as to which side of a tree the trail is on.
Maybe they should buy a lot of ribbon and line both sides!

Ted,

It was actually marked a lot better than it looks in the videos. I have a pretty notorious ability to get lost on even the best marked trail because I get so focused on going fast I just completely stop looking for arrows, the next thing I know, I'm lost. There was one spot though in Day 1 Test 3, which I didnt get on camera, where I got lost, back tracked, found the trail arrows, and literally stopped on the trail and even after looking at it for 5-10 seconds still could not figure out where the trail went. Other than that one spot, every time I got lost or missed a turn it was my fault.
