Default HOLESHOTS! Lets hear it!

Ok, lets hear it. What are your secrets for getting the holeshot? On concrete and dirt. The starting line is the only place where you can pass 30 riders in 8 sec. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Don't miss a shift! Good timing on shifting helps alot. On Concrete, sweep your gate. What also helps is having @ least ten horsepower over the competition like WP.

Yup I start in 2nd to, works very well for me. My friend starts in 1st and I always get him on the holeshot. Just think ill be shifting to 3rd when he is shifting into 2nd. Just make sure you have enough throttle and dont stall!
