Some people have a bigger problem than just a technique. It's the nerves or over-excitement before the start :D

Kept tip 3 in mind today and got my best start in a long while in a local hare scramble. Dead engine start so a bit more going on but worked out pretty well ! Thanks.

Bro this video helped me more than the 10000 pieces of advice I get at the track

another sick video! Best training videos I've ever seen! ADDICTED!

No joke I was 14th into the first corner race 1 and my hole life I have struggled with starts and idk why but I came in and thought I’ll whatch a KZfaq video I went to the gate and copied this video word for word and got my first hole shot in 5 years this video really changed my starts thank you so much

for a beginning rider these tips are amazing

I haven't been able to implement any of these tips yet but they make perfect sense.. Gonna save this to my watch later..

Nice demo on the body movement,I used to get nervous about missing my start and gate call for my race so some times I got to the gate way to early so I started watching starts and I began to study because where lived the closest local track was stacked with classes,and I noticed the pros were all so different and more so,they all left the gate so together it was crazy how close they were,even if u could close ur eyes it sounded like on big loud bikevleaving the line...they were tite...but I really noticed they all moved forward on the bike as it left the gate,like Tyler is showing,piece out,the rest is feel,the heavenly glory,traction management...who ever does it best useally gets the holeshot...

Great intros! Short and to the point. Thanks for posting

good stuff,,getting my grandson to watch these videos,,thanks for the tips

This helped me a lot and it works very well thank you Mx factory

Good video dude! I planning to learn it to my pitbike!

Thanks dude,love your videos and,thanks for keeping hope alive,ah l mean MX,MX. Factory bibles available soon,its good to see someone who cares teaching the youngins,kids are difficult at times but it just takes a little more patience from one kid to the next,they all don't learn at the same pace,that's it,and patience,I love your attitude apparently you watched the same crazy movies as me grown up...keep hope alive,the bikes are so bad ass today getting some schooling to start out is highly recommended,I have a very skateboard background mixed with MX,SX,and roadracing,with gymnastics and incredible balance,and mix that with the insatiable desire to fly,but everyone is not that fortunate,but all that stuff can be learned perfected,open your mind,listen to the right people,I'm just starting to race go karts at 54 years old,bored I guess,I miss motocross bad,flying the most,and dragging the bars thru a berm,oh yeah exploding germs too...keep them kids on their toes,and remember this is supposed to be fun damn it,bull Durham,fun is important.Goals to,got have goals,little bit at a time.Underhills check please,but I didn't have three bottles of don perjuin champagne...huh,piece out u guys are the greatest,I promise I won't tell anyone....

I love your videos you helped me with doing wheelies and going around corners

Always super helpful, thanks you guys.

Hey love your channel man, waiting for that holeshot on concrete video!!!

great videos man , they are extremely helpful !!!

When I was racing my favorite part of the whole race was the start. The noise and the adrenaline made me go straight into bliss. It was like a high. I loved it. Going into that first corner in a pile of people not knowing if you were going to make it out is something that most people don't get to experience.

Keep up good content live your tips

Good vídeo, excelent information

good tips work , when i keep it all in mind

I finally got to go hard on my new yz250f i broke in last week. Im 200lb with my nuts on the fill cap and it goes front wheel up in 4th. So much for people saying it wouldnt be powerful enough to carry me. Ive watched all these videos numerous times but I practiced these for about an hour today and it isnt as easy as it sounds. I had a bit of trouble figuring out the speed to let off the clutch and twist the throttle so Id bog out for a second until it caught on, and if I nailed it, my bad shift lever adjustment due to my large feet kept biting me and I couldn't hit 5th smoothly, if at all. Hoping the weather stays nice thursday because I absolutely have to get out to the track for open practice. I feel like a kid even though I just turned 28. This bike is so fast

Thanks for the insight !!!

that was so helpful im 11 an have a kx85 and you teaching me was so helpful thanks.

Great video brother 🖤⚡

Dude I love your sense of humor,yes I'm with the Underhills,the whole weekend,hey that front fork lock down that I see the pros using on the nationals not stock device or aftermarket,I noticed your bike,or you didn't show using it or the difference that it makes.only cause it seems now they really pulling the forks down further twice as far as they used to first time I saw the mechanic lock a set of forks,thanks for the video on starts but I already know it all,hah hah...just kidding,no serious I always get the holeshot,I do it with my left up on the shifter,which is not the way everyone is showing it,two feet down,a foot up requires more precise balance,perfect need I say,love the videos keep up the good work,you make me raff,good ruck wit your new position,back to work...why have the workers stopped...gung ho...m Keaton...

Litterly pulled my first hole shot and first win last weekend because of this thank you

Nice one mate thank you

Can you guys do this but with 2 strokes?

Thanks for raising my IQ. Great video knowledge is POWER

Im scared about my legs getting caught on the ground at takeoff and my legs snapping in half

This helped me alot thx

Really good video👌

I am a holeshot master,just naturally talented I guess,I love starts,one thing of mine that I will share with you'll that I noticed when I started racing motocross,I used to get so nervous about missing the call to the start gate,at my home track in New Jersey,I would get to the gate way to early,there was a crazy amount of classes,so I started to study everybody's starts mainly body position...and one thing that I picked up on,and something that I noticed was the difference between classes,something was missing,on the start smoothness is very important obviously,but I noticed some guys were better than others with their body position there was this little forward head and upper body movement that helps keep your balance over the center of the bike,I notice intermediates to pros doing it,just a fluid move everything follows the head,keep it center over the bike it don't matter where your feet are,I shift extremely fast so my left foot is up,its not the easiest way but I compensate for my foot up by moving my upper body head mostly,forward steady as I'm feeling the traction out at same time,figuring how far front do I want to stay for maximum grip acceleration away from gate,just keeping as much weight on rear tire,just to keep the front wheel up a couple inches so the rear grabs,the sweet spot,more traction u have the more effort,my background sandy loose dry no grip surfaces can be more aggressive,its tougher when you have grip,perfect dirt u just need to burn a little more clutch,but the head movement keeps your balance going forward,the thing I seen is rider allow their body to get pitched back on bike and that throws their balance off a second time,done toast that's why the forward movement is important then u slowly let yourself go back,but controlled only as far as needed,got it,four strokes get incredible traction,perfect to good that's why the bikes come with launch control ignitions,for different track surfaces,they are too good and they turn them down power wise to help control the grip delivery,ah but no one listens any way,what do I know, I love starts that I do know,it's because it the fastest I get to go the whole time on the track,everyone is at zero on the line even and I no I can beat them out and into turn one, I got a attitude problem,I love starts,I had to learn MX racing on my own but,I know how to launch a motorcycle,don't matter what kind it is,road race,dirt or whatever,practice practice,when I started riding I used to look at still pictures of Marty Smith in MXA,and copy his position,Marty always looked in the rite body position,and wow it worked,I can track the front end of a dirt bike with the best of them,reason three why I get holeshots,I break it down in to steps for me.good ruck...piece out ,roost on.

Nice video 👍🏻

Wow man that really helped❤️❤️❤️

I also do that with my Dyna Wide Glide.....lol.. But only on tar...Thanks for the tip..

make a video of HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT STARTING GATE plz love your vids

Thanks help alot

You guys are the best

Love your videos!!!! tytyty

That is the best dirtbike video

Awesome !

haha did this and it worked well race 2 and 3 as i forgot to let go of the front brake in race 1

Really like these tips!

Dang good vid

Thank you,

I might be in my first race on the 2nd, will I have time to warmup on the track before the race?

Any advise regarding gripping the throttle? Should I go for "deep" grip so I am sure to hip the rev limiter or???

1:00 I seriously had that clip right above this on my home page!

All I got is a Honda 80 four-stroke and a cr500, any tips for this, pros start in third and it pulls fifth gear wheelies so it's kinda hard keeping the wheel on the ground.

Gonna try this when I do dirt drags. We will see how it goes.

What I don't see many people talk about when teaching start techniques is how the gate bump can really throw you out of balance coming out of the gate.

How would you recommend leaning if you are practicing your holeshot on grass?

Can y'all do a video for concrete starts?

on a 140cc pitbike do u just hole shot from 1st or will it burn the cluch in 2nd gear

Any tips on keeping the front wheel down on a 450?

now im a taller guy and i have pretty big feet. A size 14 to be exact. So my heels stick pretty far out behind and i have a problem of my feet bending very far backwards when i land hard. so i was wondering. what are those foot pegs you use on your honda i have a felling they might help

Do you rev limit on starts ?

never got a holeshot yet but I will!!

Im waiting for your tips

I started riding last year and have a CRF 450R. Im trying to practice holeshots and my form is good but as I take off my back end keeps swirving side to side.what am I doing wrong and what can I do to improve?

So when the gate drops do you just drop the clutch and give it gas? Just started

Today I was rideing on the street and I got my front tire up so I watched this

Please do more videos with the Alta. I love the future

So how would you recommend doing this for us riders that are vertically challenged. I’ve got a Crf450r and I can’t stand flat foot on the ground on both sides

When is the concrete start video coming?

The mx factory, do you have any tips for me? Because I have a 500cc 2 stroke that I cant keep on the ground thanks

You should do a video about how to over come your fear of jumping

Is 2nd gear good for a cr125?

Question: I think my starts are pretty good (on dirt at least) I do second gear and I get going pretty fast. However I can tell that my clutch is slipping because once I'm about 10 ft out the bike jerks and I can feel the clutch fully engaging. Am I doing something wrong or is it just time for a new clutch? My bike is an '06 yz85

I’ve tried with both feet on the ground but feel more comfortable with right foot on the peg, I do sometime get abit sideways upon takeoff so that would be don’t to not squeezing the bike with both legs yeh?

How's it going,I'm waiting for you to make a concrete start video

What gear should you be in before take off

Would love to take one of your classes some day but my schedule is full until 2027. Maybe then I can take a vacation to join you.

I'm going to take these tips and be national champion of the swim team

Is there a reason why you have both feet down ? In road racing I used left foot down, right on the peg holding the foot brake to set the clutch slip, left leg straight back, foot standing on the toe not the ball of the foot. Similar to drag racing which is what I copied it from when I was racing 2 stroke twins and later 1000cc super bikes and vastly improved my starts.

cold start kick start tips?

Could you please teach how to start on a 250 2 stroke? Cause those 4 stroke starts are easy in comparison.

On a two stroke I basically did this and flipped to times on the gate so if your on a two stroke and a concrete pad then you do everything a little more

Can you do a bike without a clutch like mines a crf70

Love your channel dude Im buying a ktx 125 in the next few weeks

If you have a 2 stroke what gear should you put it in 1 or 2

do you dump the clutch?

if I just dump the cluth leaning forward with my weight over the front on my suzuki DRZ 125 will I still wheelie or will I just take off fast ?

I know I’m late to this, but whatever gear should I take off in?

How you keep it from looping out everytime I try I wheelie backwards

another tip DON'T POP THE CLUTCH!

ok i need some help i have a little 110 and it has good power to it every time i try to whole shot i wheelie and eat dirt how do i not get it to wheelie

One thing is you can’t be scared to hold the throttle longer than everyone else to the first corner. I always get the hole shot cause I’m on the throttle for about 2-3 seconds after everyone starts braking. And I have a holeshot device and start in 2nd gear

The guy from my 3 hour course didn’t teach us this 😂😂

Hey man, great video, is it true that some guys do the start with the bike in 2nd gear.

CAN U PLEASE HELP ME, sometimes when I rev my bike in neutral is cuts off

What's up with stomping the dirt before u start? Is it just for traction?

The MX Factory. About what % of throttle do you recommend? Also, are you popping the clutch or letting it out about 80% until its ready. Because I have a 08 crf450r that loves to raise the front wheel.

Is this the same as on a two stroke?

Any ideas to help me? I am definently scared of the front wheel going up! I usually start in first slow so I dont have any idea how to holeshot at all, but its basically my most important goal when roding a bike. So can anyone give me some tips on how to try it for the first time?

Bro new suscriber here by the way can i ask what is your height

Hey I got a question. Every time I have actually tried a good launch which has only been a couple, I put the bike in second rev her up then drop the clutch. I’ve only tried it in 2nd also but I pretty much just loop out even though I feel that I’m pretty far up on that seat. Any advice?

I agree with everything except the both feet hanging out. I use to race back in the 80’s, I always started with my left foot on the pegs and the right on the ground. In a flash my right was on the pegs and my left foot ready to up shift and win the hole shot. Too much time is lost with having to pull both feet in and get them on the pegs or if somebody hits you, or you get squirrely, it could go bad. Rather have my feet on the pegs ASAP. Everything else was spot on though. Also I had a technique called power shifting it worked like a charm but was hell on the clutch and motor. You pin the throttle and keep it pinned pulling in the clutch quickly and slightly while up shifting to the first corner. No lag, just constant acceleration. It worked well but I wouldn’t recommend it.
