Dirt Starts.
With dirt starts again prepare the surface where your rear wheel will be driving out of the gate. Kick some dirt into the rut left from previous starts and stamp it down firmly. This will give you a harder more tractable and smoother surface up to the base of the start gate. The only real difference from concrete starts is to have your weight forward on the bike and to pick a lower gear because there will be a lot more traction as you launch off the start.
Get a friend to time you trying different techniques with your starts, the stopwatch never lies.
It's been said a thousand times before but I'll say it again, there's only two parts to a race - from the start gate to the first corner and from the first corner to the chequered flag. Pull a perfect motocross holeshot and you're halfway there.
I had a visitor to my site send in some info that his son was being taught about how to pull consistent motocross holeshots. I've included it below.
