another thing i was thinking what happens if he tries to ride it and he gives it a lot of gas a slips the clutch and flips it since its a 2 stroke and there very good a wheeling.

the problem with most new people riding 2 strokes is they always rev too high and let the clutch out too quick, just always keep it at steady rpm and let the clutch out and u shouldnt have any problems

ur not giving it enough gas, just dont give it too much but ur not giving enough, and down worry when ur racing because once u get moving u dont have to worry about it again, u wont stall once ur moving

a very easy way, keep bliphing the throttle while u let out the clutch easy, and u will take off nice and smooth, thats how i learned
