Well, I went out to start practicing the 2006 sequence this morning. All in all I think it went pretty good. I started by just flying the first 5 manuevers and then started adding the last half of the sequence as I got more comfortable with it, plus I didn't have a caller so I had to commit it to memory.

I flew the entire sequence 8 times, it doesn't seem that hard at all, but it is really hard to make it look good, I was also flying in a 90 degree, moderate crosswind. The only thing that I really have to make a conscious effort to set up for is the reverse shark's tooth. You have to really have some altitude so you can establish a nice vertical downline. The figure 9 is kind of fun, too.
