text: ok, im a 15 yearold  racing for factory yamaha so id take a lot of this onto consideration. first off practice your starts at least 20 times in a row. this may sound stupid but each time you can blast off the gate quicker the better you will end up. alot of people don't know this but what basically determines how your gonna place is in the first turn. practice turns alllllll the time i have a track in my backyard and first thing i do is turning left turns and right turns and on a motocross track (or any track) there is gonna be all sorts of turns. ones with rollers, ones with sand etc. so try and practice all types of turns in all types of conditions the mor eyou can be confident in any situation is that much better than your opponents.
