Well the others aleady said it, and you know it yourself: clutch control in slow tight turns in forst gear, with the figure 8 in the box, is the hardest for most. The only girl in my class last year, she fell over in the box, and gave up. She didn't squeeze the clutch in enough and the bike started jerking. Gravity did the rest.

Learn how to, if you feel you are going to fall over inward in a tight turn, give a little gas and have the clutch grab a little more - and the bike will get up again.

That's my 2 cents. Sorry if anyone already said.
