[QUOTE="mxer_69, post: 49653, member: 20959"] I do a few things, even before I get to the line. I usaully watch the motos before mine and count how many seconds in my head til the gate falls after the 5 second signal. If i'm lucky there will be a pattern and i will have that much more of an advantage when i get to the gate. Also i watch the shack where the guy is releasing the gate. If i can see his arms move or legs to release the pin. Then i try to get close to the shack but still picking a goog line. I look weird sometimes cause the 5 sec signal goes and everyone is looking down and i'm looking over to the shack. It works though. As for when i'm off the line, I try to bring my feet up fairly quick. I start in second on my YZ 250F and hold it pinned. I sit on the back fender to grab as much traction as possible. Practice braking later and harder so you can get those extra postions, it pays off. [/QUOTE]
