Are you that guy?
I't seems like everytime I race at the dunes someone gets some funny starts. This weekend there was a guy who would hold back and roll up at the last minute and get a rolling start. He was on a YZF and I was trying to judge how fast it was. When he had to line up and take a real start we would tie. Jumping the start can get you anywhere from 1 to 1 1/2 bike lengths. Last time I was at the coast a guy on a Canondale would just turn his head toward you and leave without looking forward. Kind of hard to explain but it was a very strange start that always left you playing catch up. If you pulled the same on him he got mad or would pull off and quit. Is there a name for this like an Enron start or jumpstart Johnny?
At FSW2 it was on the honor system. My friend big Doug jumped the start repeatedly and when he was confronted he just smiled at everybody and said, oh come on you all know I would have won anyway! I thought they were going to beat him up!
Does anyone have any stories about start jumpers?
