Message: [QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 783917, member: 16469"] Nothing but practice will help. I'm not a very good rider, but I get good starts (almost always in the first 3 and frequently in the lead). [list][*]I keep both feet on the ground [*]look 10 feet in front of the gate to catch the movement of the gate more in my peripheral vision [*]Put my goggles on when the '2' comes out [*]Put it in gear and let out the clutch to wear it starts grabbing when the 1 comes out [*]Two fingers on the clutch and my middle finger on the front brake with a slight overgrip on the throttle so I know I can really use full throttle down the start [*]On the 450, I can usually run 2nd the whole way to the first turn, a 250 2 stroke might require a shift halfway. [*]My starts are more a matter of holding it on in the first turn rather than getign off the gate very well. [/list] [/QUOTE]
