Gate starts are great, Manuals on the other hand......Not so great.
Very low and long but awesome to ride and feels just right on the track and in the air.

Not up to speed on my geometry yet, why is it not so good for manuals?

Because of the longer than normal back end.  Long back ends are better for straight line speed/power, but harder to get the front end up/manual.
