Getting a good start !

Just curious ...... feet off the pegs until first corner with as much body weight forward ? or feet on the pegs ?

I hope you don't mind me picking your brain gretchen. I just so glad you are here !

Excellent question! I'm going to be somewhat of a 'slacker' here, and tell you that there's an EXCELLENT article in the most recent 'Motocross Illustrated' at Barnes N Noble right now. I worked the start clinic with Gary Bailey at the Bailey Extravaganza and used my experience to write an article on exercises to do and technique for starts.

I can't re-print the text here in this forum which would be easy for me to do, or I'd get a serious brow beating at MXi. Otherwise I certainly would.
