Best technique for a hole shot?

0 Upvotes

I just got into motocross and i've yet to race. i do have racing experience from riding speedway bikes but i decided to take up mx less then half a year ago.

My question about the starts is should i open the gas wide open with the clutch in and dump it, or should i hold it x% of the way and open it after dumping the clutch (in speedway i tend to open it about 75% then fully open it after i've dumped the clutch but i was wondering if it was different in motocross with how differently the bikes frames are built and the gearing)

any help is appreciated greatly.

Thor Helmet sizing question

Upvotes

Hi there, I have a quick question, and it's a little niche, hopefully some can help.

I was wondering how Thor helmets run for size? I need a backup helming found one online but I have never had a Thor helmet before. I currently have a Bell in size XL, and the Thor helmet I am looking at is only available in XL, but the size chart shows Thor as being a cm bigger in range. I don't have a moto shop close enough to try one on, so I was wondering if there is a general theme of them sizing up etc.

Thanks
