How to whip
I promise we are on it! We look forward to releasing that video asap after we shoot it.
Please do more videos with the Alta. I love the future
We definitely will, it’s just a matter of having the dealership loan a bike to us so we can shoot more with it. Glad you liked them, we do have one more coming soon comparing the cornering capabilities of an Alta vs Honda 450.
Can you guys do this but with 2 strokes?
That’s a good idea, we can try and make that happen for sure.
The same but in 1st gear
What happens if you on the short side of life and only one foot touches the ground? Great videos that you guys are doing.
Starting blocks will be your friend. Even home made pair will do.
+Gavin Marais Yes, starting blocks are easily made from just pieces of wood. Or find a spot behind the gate that has a deeper rut in it. You can always start one footed, but it’s easier to stay in balance if you start with both feet down raised up by blocks.

Really like these tips!
+raptor686bl Awesome, thanks for the positive feedback!
Is it on the second gear?
+neptalie trinidad Yes, we pretty much recommend 2nd gear on nearly all starts.
You know I would love to try this but my damn front brake is broke and I don’t know a lot about bikes 😢
Dude I love your sense of humor,yes I’m with the Underhills,the whole weekend,hey that front fork lock down that I see the pros using on the nationals not stock device or aftermarket,I noticed your bike,or you didn’t show using it or the difference that it makes.only cause it seems now they really pulling the forks down further twice as far as they used to first time I saw the mechanic lock a set of forks,thanks for the video on starts but I already know it all,hah hah…just kidding,no serious I always get the holeshot,I do it with my left up on the shifter,which is not the way everyone is showing it,two feet down,a foot up requires more precise balance,perfect need I say,love the videos keep up the good work,you make me raff,good ruck wit your new position,back to work…why have the workers stopped…gung ho…m Keaton…
No one wants you around dirt,def leopared sucks dude,wait I got this note brandy left for you,ah huh ah ah,that movie I knew would be so dumb,I bought it anyway,what a great soundtrack,plus I used to collect mopars Cudas and challengers,so I had to see the Daytona s part in it…but kid rock was great shuddering an an ah French crys…piece
Is there a reason why you have both feet down ?
In road racing I used left foot down, right on the peg holding the foot brake to set the clutch slip, left leg straight back, foot standing on the toe not the ball of the foot.
Similar to drag racing which is what I copied it from when I was racing 2 stroke twins and later 1000cc super bikes and vastly improved my starts.
i really want a dirt bike
I’ve tried with both feet on the ground but feel more comfortable with right foot on the peg, I do sometime get abit sideways upon takeoff so that would be don’t to not squeezing the bike with both legs yeh?
+Jay Moss Typically going sideways is because you aren’t equally weighting each side of the bike. That’s the challenge of starting one foot up, but not saying it’s a bad thing. Starting with a foot on the shift side can help you shift quicker. But yes, you still need to squeeze the bike with you legs to keep it straight under you and in control. Squeezing the bike with your thighs generally fixes any side to side issues. Good question!
Thanks for raising my IQ. Great video knowledge is POWER
How do you do on semi automatic
How obout just rev that bich out and dump the cluch ta da u did it
another tip DON’T POP THE CLUTCH!
Great videos …lots of techniques learned from you ..Amazinggg👌
Some people have a bigger problem than just a technique. It’s the nerves or over-excitement before the start 😀
They put the track race at for loose dirt
The MX Factory. About what % of throttle do you recommend? Also, are you popping the clutch or letting it out about 80% until its ready. Because I have a 08 crf450r that loves to raise the front wheel.
+ed fujed Let it out until it’s almost ready. Don’t pop the clutch. % of throttle depends on terrain. If sandy or loam it could close to full throttle. If the dirt is super tacky and great grip, then back off the throttle a bit until you’re out of the gate. Make sure to keep your head and weight forward to prevent wheelies.
