Holeshots
I don't really know if you consider it a wholeshot.
but what i'm tryin to say is that when it started to get colder last year I noticed that I could go about 20 mph and dump the clutch
and instead of the wheel come up my rear tire would brake loose.
I've always been afraid of dointhem. but it was f*** awesome when I did it.
how do you guys do it when the tire is hot.
Do you rev the crap out of the bike and dump the clutch?Speed?

RE: Holeshots
If youve ever done it in a stick car youll know how to do it. basically your revving your motor to a low-mid rpm range and letting out the clutch not too slow, but not too fast. too slow and youll burn it up. too fast and youll loop it or the front end will come up. you want to accelerate real fast is the point to holeshoting. youll figure it out after a few tries. its much easier to explain in person though.

I think the problem is that you guys aren't comfortable on your bikes. For myself, after riding a ton i got more and more comfortable...the more comfortable i got, the more I screwed around. Gettin on it here and there, you understand what your bike does when you do different things....its all trial and error..
My advice, get comfortable on you bike, to the point where you feel like you are part of it when you ride ( i know that sounds cheesy)...but its the truth...for me atleast..

+1 on that.
the problem is that not alot of people can ride 1k's to their full potential.
At least i know I know I'm not there yet.
I'm just beginnin to drag a knee here and there.
but just like the old saying "practice makes perfect"
I give you guys mad props for bein able to do crazy stuff.
