Perfect Rickey ............ Exactly how i use to explain and teach the trade back in 1985-88 at Bayland's Raceway at my school, Love yah bro ...... Dale Walker / Holeshot.
I have a zx14 with power commander no extended swing arm with 195 hp at tire. I have to open throtle slowly because wheelie happen fast if open the throttle suddenly. Thanks Rick !!
I have watch this video several times over the past 3 years and every time I watch it, go out and practice, come back and rewatch, I understand what he means! I called RG school to sign up, perhaps this summer.
I'm surprised this doesn't have more views. We'll, less competition for me!
So true! So many people who like feathering the clutch all the way while launching at 6k
Glad I watched this. Would love to see the rest. I have a concours14and I’m sure this will help.
rickey gadson is the micheal jordan of sportbike drag racing
"anything over 3500 rpm is a waste, bike gonna be all up in yo chest" haha awsome.
Near genius!
Excellent explaination.
Man I need to try all of this, I’ve only had the bone stock ZX-14 out once so far but 11.3 @ 132.9 was the best I could do.

Tried Rickeys tactic on my Busa and works a treat! Ran a 9.2 second pass!
Adders321 super !!!!
Brock? From Brock's performance?
Ricky Gadson is the MASTER.
would you keep the rpms as low on a gsxr 1k also?!
very close..less torque than a 14..but it is lighter..traction and tire grips does have to be considered
Is that Kevin Duke @4:25 (and recording this video)? Very cool! :)
Is there a follow up to this video?
250 in,, listen to him do the bike launch sound,, i emt ime few times at track near me ,, friendly uy will giv ya info to help ya

Gonna be trying this on my H2SX SE, maybe a big more rpm since the engine is smaller than the 1400?
I wonder does this technique works for an 05 Suzuki 1000 also
See in TC 1, I CAN do it!! On another note, I will leave off the line at 10k rpm. Watch how fast i get down to the other end of the track!!
