I am about a mile from the trailhead of canyonside so I ride it quite a bit as well. Doing one thing over and over builds confidence and a great way to improve. I think the sh@ts is a good practice run as well. Riding it will help on other trails. Saddle time and riding just a bit over your head will build skills.
btw we do a mid week night ride out of canyonside and have two groups typically. Both are no drop but to be in the fast group your are expected to at least try to keep up. The relaxed group is always willing to help new riders
