I really enjoyed how the exposition was handled, instead of the usual 20 minutes of as you know-style teaching of the mechanics.

The way the character's mom acted reminded me of my mom when she would make sure I had everything prepared before doing something.
"Bag packed? Teeth brushed? Got your phone? Fed the dog? Got your little brother to his bus stop?"

It was all very refreshing.

I also like how Hugh isn't a jackass like some other rivals.
