I feel if you can touch the ground with one foot, you dont need ONE starting block.
And that block can only be just tall enough.
Two blocks, no way Jose..
Do the same as Loretta's have blocks of wood with an attachment for the grates that are provided by MX Sports
Another thread about starting blocks and how they are "pushing" off of them to get a better start, nobody is doing this guys.
They want the tall blocks so their feet are pretty much already on the pegs squeezing the bike when they take off.
I’d like to see starting blocks, fork hold down devices and the steel start grates all go away. Replace them with concrete starting pads.
Bring skill back to the start, slow down and spread out the pace into the first turn.

And the worst part is they make you look like a complete loser to all the chicks at the local Vet C race.
This would be great. It's annoying "being forced" to put a start device on your bike to go race on the weekends. Sure, no one has a gun to my head but when everyone else has one it's kind of necessary.
Lots of short kings in this sport, but all the start devices, block, grates, etc need to go. Maybe let guys have a SMALL start block if they’re really vertically challenged.
starting blocks are for pussies
Even if they aren't pushing off of them, they need to be banned.
It's ridiculous how many "starting aids" they have nowadays.... holeshot device (front & rear sometimes), start maps, starting blocks, grates...
So lame, get rid of all of that shit and we'll have more parody in the starts again.
These are almost as lame as fork start devices, ban all of them.
