  1. The secret is to get more traction than everybody else. Do everything you possibly can to make that happen. Sit as far back on your seat as you can buy not so far you loop it. Also excessive spinning of your rear wheel does NOT inhance traction. Thar faster you spin it the less it bites in. Try for a happy medium on wheel spin. Less is more. Good luck and practice practice practice!


  2. sit way back on the seat but lean down over the bars, get the weight on the back and keep the front end down.  

  3. You need to watch some starts before your moto.  If you can, hang out behind the starter.  See if he has any sort of pattern, does he drop it quick after the board goes sideways or does he usually take a while?  You can learn alot by watching starts before your's.  The best way  is to watch the lever that holds the gate up.  When the lever drops attack the start accelerate hard and let the bike pulll you into a standing/crouched position with your elbows up.  You will get a split second of mechanical advantage because you will have initiated your clutch and throttle actions while most riders will watch the gate and be just that little bit behind. Another trick is to upshift with your heal as you pull your foot up to the peg.  If your tall enough you should always start with both feet on the ground.  Starting with one foot tends to cause you to lean slightly in the direction of the supporting foot giving you essentially a crooked start.  The most important thing is to just focus and not think about the other bikes and riders.  Don't let off, make the other guy do it.
