Come to a stop and balance yourself for a few seconds, and then snap out to a 30 yard sprint. Or goto your local BMX track. www.ababmx.com has all the track listings nationwide ( USA ).

Is this just for practicing your balance?
Or
For actually putting the pedals down to practice your starts?
Or
Both?

If its the for balance...then just balance up against a wall..
If its for practicing starts...then try a trackstand on a slight downslope...making sure the whole bike is straight, do this fo aaround 5 seconds, then just go full out sprint for about 7 seconds...

Thats your best bet unless you fancy traveling to that bmx track 40miles away Wink
